The favorite Christmas TOY!!

[catcrazylady]

Now mind you they got furry mice, mice with feather tails, bouncy balls, balls with little jingle mice in them, and a box full of tissue paper. Great gifts, right?? What was the toy of choice? A stupid STRAW!!!!

Here is how it went

Pete plays with the straw




Pervy wants the straw and is so excited but she is kind and won't take it from Pete. So she attacks the tree!


She is rolling around in such a frenzy that she even gets me!


Being totally oblivious to his surroundings (as usual) Pete is making it worse with antics like this.


Pervy can stand it no more and when the opportunity arrises she grabs the straw and runs back to the tree.


More to come!!

She then decides that it would make a great ornament and puts it in the tree and is quit proud!


Now Leroy has held out just about as long as he can. He doesn't want to be a TOTAL JERK on Christmas and steal the straw so he does one of his famous routines. He walks over and plops his LARGE self right on top of Pervy!


This just freaks poor Pervy out so she runs UP the tree!!


Guess who has the straw now!!


Leroy flips the straw in the air and it lands standing next to his belly. He checks this out.


He decides that he likes it there and gets ready for a nap!!


At this point I went and got more straws, came back into the room and everyone was napping. The thrill was gone!
I think they had a Merry Christmas!

LOL, great pics!!

LOL Isn't that just like a cat. My cats favorite toy this year was the box that their gift basket came in. I left it out in my living room and put an old sweater in the bottom of it. All four of them have taken turns getting in it and Cirrus was napping in it yesterday.

Just like skin kids playing in the box and ignoring the (often expensive!!) contents.

Thanks for the story and the pictures, both were great.

That is a story that I think is told in every cat household around the world.

Great pics! Every year, Cleo's favorite 'present' is the ornaments on the Christmas tree, she tries to eat them


Wonderful story, I loved it!
