Buster's precious

Buster has a new toy, a plastic lid ring, which basically has the same
function as a milk jug ring, but being from a jar of cat treats, is
larger.

When I was opened the jar, I twisted it a bit so that it will "sit up"
when placed on the floor, instead of it laying flat. I intended it to
amuse the kitties for a few minutes, but I didn't think that Buster
would become so taken with it.

For the past week, Buster's been keeping me up at night playing hockey
with it. He also carries it wherever he goes, and sometimes cries and
whines at it for no apparent reason. Usually he'll just sleep cuddled
up next to it, so meatloaf in front of it, staring at the ring as
though communing with it.

This isn't the first plastic ring of this type I've tossed the cats,
but according to Buster, this one's special.

It sounds as though your subject line is spot on.

In more ways than one. "Buster's" could be a possesive (which is how
I read it at first). This could earn him the nickname "Gollum". Or it
could be a contraction for "Buster is." And he is!

How astute of you! The kitties are very precious to me. I'm awfully
worshipful of them, and I can't even conceive of ever being without
them.

It is clearly the One Ring. Be prepared for an adventurous future.

Rather than "One Ring to lead them all" this could be "One Ring to feed them
all", since it came off a jar of cat-treats

On those occasions that Buster cannot be found, you can just figure that
he is wearing the Ring...

If it gets all chewed up, I'm going to toss it into the fires of Mount
Doom. That, or the trash.

It's actually more likely that he'll whap it under a bookshelf or
something and come whining "Lost, my precious is lost!"

Hehe. He was hiding in plain sight with it before, meatloafing his
stripey self in the slitted sunlight filtering through the blinds,
making me almost step on him.
