Thursday will mark one year since I got my little Russian Blue kitty
Niobe.
Like Emma, she was a CraigsList acquisition.

I'm trying to figure out something nice to do for her. After the first
couple
of months, where she was eating everything in sight and bulking up
substantially (I think the previous folks underfed her), she isn't
particularly picky or gluttonous about food. So there's nothing obvious
to
feed her as a treat.

About her most blatant like is destroying cardboard, strange as it sounds.
Almost every box in the house - and I'm quite a pack rat - has been
shredded.
I'm thinking about finding her a nice big cardboard box to ruin. But
perhaps
someone here will come up with an off-the-wall idea for an unfamiliar cat.

I've posted this before, but here's a picture of Niobe up on my big
ten-foot
stepladder.

get her a small cardbox box with holes for her arms to poke in with some nip
inside. That should amuse her for a while.
If she likes the nip of course. Kitty FC was immune to it. It did nothing
for her.
Boyfie will occasionally rub his head on a sock I fill with nip for him but
he doesn't get out of his head on it. He is such a serious earnest boy I
would love him to get really stoned occasionally
