Koala could use a kitten to play with, but I'm not sure either Pickles nor I could handle that. However, thanks to a friend, Koala has a couple of new toys that are keeping him amused part of the time. They (the toys) probably have names, but I don't know them. One has a weighted base, with a curved "pole" sticking up. A "spider" is attached to a string hanging from the "pole". The base contains a magnet, so if you start the spider swinging, for a long time it will keep moving. The other is about 8 inches around, with a solid top and bottom and three or four holes in the sides. There is a toy mouse inside each hole. The mice can be pulled out, but they are still attached. Joy, I'm glad you're still here. I like hearing about Pickles and Koala. I definitely understand your reluctance to introduce another kitten into the mix! It's nice to hear those toys your friend gave you are being enjoyed. Buffy is still crazy about golf balls. When she wants to play she bats them all over the carpeted living room. I can only imagine the racket they'd make rolling on hardwood floors. The thing about Buffy is, I *know* she plays all by herself during the night. I find her toys rearranged in the morning. I've got a pretty good memory for what toys are on the floor. A couple of days ago she was after a furry toy on the fireplace hearth. It was a toy she'd ripped to pieces when she first came to live here. I thought it was long gone but she'd hidden it. She brought it out and was playing with it during the night. She left it on the fireplace hearth. I swear, it was not there when we went to bed. Cats are fascinating. Jill Sootie loves ping pong balls and, Like Buff, bats them round the room but I have to throw them first then get them from under the furniture where she's hit them. It's good exercise for me. I've got a plasterer doing some work in the bedrooms today with the windows open (we're having a warm couple of days). Sootie was outside. Then she was in the sitting room asking to be let out. A new game, in through the upstairs windows, scare an innocent plasterer, then demand the human opens the patio door. I'm waiting for the second round. Judith Smart Sootie, it's fun for all involved!

I have a service contract and they come out twice a year, Spring and Fall. Buffy gets so confoozled! There are pull down steps in the hallway to get to the attic. She doesn't try to go up there but for the longest time after they leave she sits in the hallway, staring up at the ceiling. I think she believes there's someone still up there. Jill |

Jill Mostly a lurker, but had to mention one of our cats (Molly) has gotten into the attic several times, on one occasion being stuck there for two or three days until my wife figured out where the meows were coming from (Fortunately it was spring and the temps were mild). Whenever we try to get into the attic we have to take steps to make sure she can't get to the pull-down stairs. Gene to make sure |
