Teaser Tuesday

Part of MomKatt's plan to draw me out of the shell I'd kinda crawled into because of Boudicca's shenanigans was to renew my love of my teaser.  Well, this was the PURRFECT strategy - 'cause I LOVE my teaser, as you will see! 

We have started having play sessions every morning while MomKatt has breakfast, and sometimes for a few minutes after, and every evening after we've all eaten our gooshy fud.

NOW ... before you meow anything, don't be dissin' my stubby teaser (whose name, it won't surprise you, is Stubby Teaser).  (Actually, I stole him from Morticia, so blame her for his shabby appearance.  She's rough on teasers.)  I know he's stubby and chewed on and ... well, he's been around the block SEVERAL times.  As Harrison Ford said in "Raiders", "It ain't the years, honey, it's the mileage!"

But I love my teaser just as he is, even if MomKatt says a trip to Petco's going to soon be in order 'cause 'Ticia needs a teaser of her own (she loves to play teaser, too) and because Petco seems to have a better selection of mylar teasers (our  favorites) than PetSmart.  (PetSmart carries teasers that have a lot of feathers, etc.  We really don't go for those much, plus if we do, they don't last long.  Mylar's a better investment for us, MomKatt says.)

So don't laugh.  Here is a picture of Stubby Teaser: 

 
As you can no doubt infer, those are MY paws ... just guarding him, waiting for a twitch or two of his mylar fingers ... beckoning my LongPaw of Death to smite him mightily!


These photos were taken this morning.  Here I am, waiting for MomKatt to play with me.  Typically, I issue little "brrrips" and high-pitched "MIAOW?"s to let her know that I am ready for action!  (She finds these charming.  And yes, I put a question mark at the end of these particular miaows, as I'm saying, "Can we play NOW, MomKatt?  Now?  PLEASE?!")



Dig my glowing eye!

And here ... waiting to LEAP!



Well, that was fun ... and now for a nice day-long nap 'til MomKatt gets home after work so we can play teaser some more!


Ya'll be good now, y'hear?


PURRS!
Selina

    Great laser eye, Selina! It makes you look like you're about to kill that teaser deaded! If you love Stubby Teaser, that's all that matters to us. Happy Tuesday. xoxo

    You kitties ARE rough on teasers! I still have a couple from when I was a kitten - yes, they are a little ratty looking, but not as bad as your stubby teaser!

    Have you taken to using your laser to signal MomKatt, Selina? We'll have to try that. Usually, we sit in the hall behind my woman's computer chair, and entreat with our big eyes. She seems to feel "the look" and asks if we want to play. The she whips our favorite tiedye teaser back and forth while we leap for it. Purrs.

    Taffy & my woman, Laura

    Whoa! What a laser! Do you have a Neko Fly? I bet you'd love them. You can buy them online at Nip & Bones and some other places but I've never seen them in a store. They're my fave wand toy.

A Journey - Selina Carter, April 9, 2011 - March 6, 2024

Dearest Furrends: My scribe is typing this entry with a truly heavy heart. Yesterday, I made my journey to The Rainbow Bridge. My doctor, Dr. Daniel, told me in November 2023 that I had something called a "mass" that she could feel when she did something she called "palpating" my underside during my annual well-kitty exam. It didn't hurt - it just felt like she was squeezing me a little. She told Mom&DadKatt, who were there with me (of course) and suggested several options. They decided to start giving me a medicine called prednisone (I called it YUCK ). Dr. D said it would really boost my appetite. Boy, did it! See, MomKatt noticed I'd lost a fair amount of weight in a couple of months prior and she knew something was wrong. I've always been a big (not fat, just big) beautiful one-eyed thang, as y'all know, so this wasn't normal. It's that MomKatt radar - I know all of y'alls pawrents have it. That's why she scooped me up that da

Bag Day!

Meowlo, Peeps! Today is Bag Day and Keaton is demonstrating some of the many different things he can do with an ordinary paper sack from the grocery store. He claims it's environmentally responsible, as he's upcycling a natural resource. Do you buy that? Whatever ...  Anyway, here he is.  As you might notice, he enjoys a variety of bags from different places (i.e. he has no taste and will take ANYTHING that comes along.)  This one is from Lowe's Foods grocery store.    This one is from Jersey Mike's subs. We all loved that one because it smelled soooooo good but he wormed his under it and none of us could get in.       We never got into it and in the end, it's cool because MomKatt got a hilarious photo out of it! (We have NO clue what he's doing in there.  Doesn't he have a great butt, though??)   Uh oh ... bag change! He's got the one MomKatt stole from Ed McKay's used bookstore!    At least he can't tear that one up ...    Or can he?  I don'

Well(er) Wednesday

Good morning pee ps and happy Wednesday! It' s me, your favorite uniocular kitty, back at the helm and, if not "rarin'" to go, at least feeling WAY better than I was almost thi s time last week. How do we k now I'm better?  Photos do n't lie.  Here I am this morning, doing my favorite morning activity :  snoopervising the coffee-making M omKatt . Se e, MomKatt's pretty bleary in the AMs, having just gotten up & all.  So sometimes an "extra eye" is needed, just to mak e sure she gets it right.  Yeah, I got one of them! ( No, MomKatt, the coffee goes in t he filter, NOT the water!  MOL) And, of course, the highlight of my morning java snoopervision is catching, and then applying my Patented Smacky Paws to, th e Wil d Coffee Scoop (those can be d angerous when cornered) ... thusly. Stand aside, worthy adversary!   And now ... THE SMACKY PAW TREATMENT! Humph.  That'll show it who's Boss.  MomKatt reported that the
