Found some mousies!
I had to move a heavy piece of furniture yesterday. (That was a slow,
painful process.) What did I find behind it? Toy mousies! Persia hit the jackpot! It will probably only be a matter of time before she bats them into hiding again but what the heck. She has more mousies to play with now. I'm happy when she's happy Jill |

I'm happy when she's happy Jill Persia (I love that name) does love her mousies! Mine like those tiny furry ones, and they love small lightweight balls that travel fast. I found some that light up when they are bounced, those were fun. Wonder where they went... Old-fashioned girl that I am, I keep a yardstick in the utility closet for sweeps under the piano, frig, stove-all the heavy, low stuff. The cats and dogs know when they see the yardstick that toys are soon to follow. And the dust bunnies that accompany the toys are just amazing. Karla |

Most hardware stores carry them at least around here. I had to get rid of
ours the cats thought it was their personal mini scratchier "jmcquown" wrote in message ... "Karla" wrote in message ... "jmcquown" wrote in message ...

A hardware store? Hardware store (the old-fasioned ones, not the newer big box stores are more likely to have them) or, a lot of times, they are give-aways at local county fairs by businesses/organizations in the 'commercial' booth areas. That's where the ones Mom had came from - she still has some from the 70's. I remember her using them for giving my brother & I a spanking for doing 'something' bad (don't remember what that 'something' was - there were too many 'somethings' we did) when we were little. One time she gave my bro about 5 whacks, and went to give me my 5 - and it broke on the first whack. Whoo hoo - no more whacks. She stopped using yard sticks after that and started using the paddle from the old paddle-ball toy (rubber ball on a rubber band attached to a paddle that you are *supposed* to be abble to bounce off the paddle repeatedly at a high rate of speed - none of us ever mastered that) - which never broke and she STILL HAS! One is on their best behavior at Mom's - you're never to old to get a spanking! The cats and dogs know when they see the yardstick that toys are soon to follow.

G Jill I don't want to see the dust bunnies at our house - they are probably of frightening proportions (probably why the cat's don't go under the bed or sofa LOL). Speaking of Mousies - did Persia get the ones that Weebs sent her for KissAMouse? I'm pretty sure that he had me address it to the SC addy and not the TN addy. -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

Found some mousies!
hahaha, reminds me of the time when DH decided to move some livingroom
furniture around and found over 50 small mousies the loveseat. He picked them all up and put them in Lily's toybox where she is slowly starting to take them out one by one and shoving them under some place. Lily & her mama "jmcquown" wrote in message ...

I bought one the other day but it was metal not wood. I use it to knock
things off the top shelf when I can't reach what I want. "Jofirey" wrote in message ... "jmcquown" wrote in message ... "Karla" wrote in message ... "jmcquown" wrote in message ...

The grey one is in the foyer and she bats it around on the only wooden surface there is in this house. The white one is in the living room trying hard to blend in with the carpet. The mousie is whiter than the carpet ever thought of being. And Persia let's her know it from time to time! Take that! G I hope Weebs doesn't mind, but when I was cat sitting for Schwartzie and Fedders I took the black furry mousie over to them, since they're nice little black boy kitties. (Weebs doesn't need to be jealous; Persia doesn't like those kitties. She hisses and gets all growly when she sees them outside.) I thought a little toy might help make it easier for them to accept me, since their momma was gone for two weeks and there was just me instead. I saw Fedders playing with the black furry mousie. So I think it worked Jill |
