Being in SE Louisiana, there is always a large supply of Mardi Gras beads on hand and you have to keep them hidden in a closet or the kitties will find them and drag them all over the house playing with them. I use to keep some out for them to play with but they refused to put them up when done (keeping them handy for the next playtime I guess) so I started putting them in the closet... UP HIGH or they would find them. Silly kitties!
