Speaking of strings...
I had bought a new shirt. The only problem with it was that it had some
stupid strings at the cuffs. I took them out and was going to bin them, but then realised they had great cat toy potential. Nikki does quite like the String Monster, but Frank goes positively wild when he sees it dangling in front of his nose or wiggling past him on the bed! It's so nice to see the old boy get so excited about something, and playing like a kitten. He leaps and pounces and runs after it and jumps and... generally goes bananas over it. Just now I threw down the string on the floor for him. He pounced and then pulled on one end of it. Lo and behold; the other end moved! Now I could see the little wheels in his furry little head churning, churning, "if I let go of this end to pounce on the other end, will it get away?" He pulled on the one end again, and the other end moved again. He couldn't resist it, but pounced on the other end with one paw while trying to hold the first end down with another paw. I am proud to report that he managed to subdue both ends of the string, and is now taking a well-earned nap after his successful hunt. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

Yeah, we have string hunters galore too. I'm sad to report one of the
beautiful bookmarks we got with our x-mas cards was chewed on by Rufous. The bookmark itself is safe, but the string had to be put down. ;-) -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

What a great shirt to have kitty toys hidden at the cuffs! What a great buy.

It's so nice to see the
old boy get so excited about something, and playing like a kitten. Oi! That's Frank you are talking about! Less of the "old boy"! Frank is in his purrime! Just now I threw down the string on the floor for him. He pounced and then pulled on one end of it. Lo and behold; the other end moved! Now I could see the little wheels in his furry little head churning, churning, "if I let go of this end to pounce on the other end, will it get away?" He pulled on the one end again, and the other end moved again. He couldn't resist it, but pounced on the other end with one paw while trying to hold the first end down with another paw. You see, this is where hoomins are *soooooo* dim. What Franks was doing was advanced physics. oh yes. String theory and pulling it all together into a Grand Unified Theory of Everything.
