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...)

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.

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.)

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

I used to buy ping pong balls for Princess (RB16). Be careful of the
shards when you step on them. MLB
