Oh Noooooo! (Some Toys are Scary)

This is MR. BILL. He is one COLORFUL character.  But he has a BIG MOUTH.  This means he is very, very LOUD.  And I am SCARED of him. 

If you don't BELIEVE me, just listen to him SCREAM in this video. I think you will AGREE, he's BAD.

Toy Technique

Today I will show you some popular toy techniques. First I will demonstrate the single paw grab. This takes lots of eye-paw coordination and concentration!

Next is the two-pawed grab. The double-paw method is best for ensuring the toy does not slip away.

Finally, here is the Harley Quinn Method: a swing and a miss! But he does have good paw alignment.

Gerbils Have Good Toys!

I keep a CLOSE eye on Bert and Ernie! And it is a GOOD thing I do, because they just got a NEW toy that I FOUND out about.

Here is BERT on the seesaw. I guess Ernie would rather SLEEP than play right now.
Here is a MOVIE of Bert & Ernie. You can see I did not BOTHER them. Too much.

To watch the movie full size, you can click here to watch on YouTube!

Three Things I Can't Let Go Of Meme

My friend Lisa tagged me for a Meme about Three Things I Can't Let Go Of. This should be an easy one! The three things that I really cannot let go of are:

My Mommie!

My toys! And my Temptations!

This was a really fun and easy Meme to do! So, I want to tag any cat who wants to play!

Road Trip!

The crew from Lucky's Road Trip who are on a mission to visit Luxor, are coming to my house today! I am very excited about the road trip. Besides Roxy and Lucky, I think there will be Millie, Dragonheart, Georgia and Tilly, Sammy and Miles, Moe & Mindy, Parker, Monty Q and anyone else who joins us along the way. I need to make sure I am ready for my guests.

I dragged out my toybox so everyone can play with all my toys while they are here. I am a little bit worried about whether I will have enough toys for everyone... I have also been busy making up a big pot of lizard stew. It is a new recipe, so I hope it turns out good. Lizards can be tough to chew. I would not like to serve stringy stew!

I also whipped up a big tray of MEATS! I hope I have enough food.

I am helping Lucky pick out a very cute outfit for her meeting with Luxor. Here we are going through my closet. And look what good taste Lucky has! She picked out the beautiful fur-trimmed pink robe. An excellent choice, Lucky.

Here is Lucky modeling the beautiful robe. I think Luxor will be quite impressed!

(ps: Happy Birthday to my Grandma!)

Thursday Thirteen, Edition #23

Here are 13 things that I LOVE about my toys:

1. They are very, very FUN to play with.
2. You can get good exercise by running and jumping around with them.
3. The soft ones are good to snuggle with.
4. No matter how hard I bite my toys, they never bite back! If I bite my sister Pixie, she gives me a big hurty bitey in return. So, I think toys are nicer than Pixie.
   
5. You can practice your hunting skills with them.
6. Some of them make funny noises when you shake them.
   
7. You can play fun pretend games with them, like the Strangler, Ninja Cat, and Hoppy the Clown.
   
8. If your furs are already clean, you can groom your toys! (the fuzzy ones).
   
9. If your Mommie yells at you for giving her the bitey, you can bite your toys! As hard as you want! And toys do not bleed. Ever.
   
10. It is very fun to steal toys from my sister Pixie.
11. Many times, toys are STUFFED with catnip!
    
12. You can practice rabbit-kicking on them.
    
13. Playing with toys is a fun thing I can do with my Mommie.

Thursday Thirteen, edition #5

Here are thirteen of my favorite TOYS, in no particular order:

1. My fuzzy, feathery, catnip-filled carrot. This one is fun AND healthy, in case yer Mommie wants you to eat more vegetables.

2. This is called a Wooley Bully. "He's a mess, he's a mouse again!" This toy is made of wool. When it gets all fuzzed-up, you put it in a sock, and run him through the washing machine, and he is good as new! I think mine is due for the washing machine about now. (If I put myself in the washer, do you think my fur would get less fuzzed up?)

3. This one is fun and delicious! Get someone to fill it with treats. Then, when you roll the ball around, food comes out of the rat's mouth! I never ate food out of a rat's mouth before I got this toy.

4. This is my weird stripey mouse or rabbit. I am not sure what he is, but he is FUN. And, he has very crazy googlie eyes.






5. The fabulous Cat Dancer! It never danced with me though.





6. Cat Nip. Need I say more?

7. Here is my very soft fluffy bear, filled with cat nip. I like him lots. He has one brown foot. Maybe he stepped in mud. Or something worse.

8. This is my fishie with twine in the middle. He is fun to kick around.





9. My Crackler tick. He makes a great crackly noise. And, he stays crackly even when wet!







10. The old stand-by, fake fuzzy mouse. With real fur.

11. I don't know what this is called. It has two holes in it, and a ball inside. It is fun to stick yer paws into the holes to try to get the ball! It is kind of a trick though, because yer paw cannot fit back out once you are holding the ball!

12. Jacks fer cats.







13. I don't know what his name is. He has six arms, and antennae. There is cat nip inside. I like to kick him. He never kicks me back though. That must mean he is good.
