thanks for the idea...
....of the ping-pong ball as a cat toy.
Happened to be in a store that sells all kinds of stuff fairly cheaply, and they also had ping-pong balls. Bought a package and gave one to Nico. Now Nico's chasing the ball all around the apartment... Gave one to Laku too, of course, but he's not so interested in toys. He's got two toys he plays with, a mousie filled with something that rattles and covered with spotty fabric, I call it the Leopard mouse, and his "girlfriend", a long, real fur covered "mousie", which I call Barbara. (some of you may recognize the name from old x-rated inflatable dolls...) -- Christine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

A game I sometimes play with a ping-pong ball is to ping it across the floor by pressing on one side to get backspin, by the time the cat reaches it it's on its way back. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

(some of you may recognize the name from old x-rated inflatable dolls...) Only trouble with ping-pong balls is they can be treacherous underfoot! (But anything that rolls can be, and they're not quite so bad as golf-balls, if you're heavy enough so they can collapse when you step on them.) |

(some of you may recognize the name from old x-rated inflatable dolls...) There was an episode of M*A*S*H that showed a newsreel of Dagwood the ping pong playing cat. I've been unsucessful in digging up the newsreel footage but it is from around the late 1950's. The cat was a genious at ping pong Jill |
