My Toysday Movie!

Since today is Toysday, I wanted to show you a very fun toy. It is called a Gommelgrabber. My Mommie got it almost 20 years ago, so I do not know if you can find one anywhere now. Sometimes old toys are the best.

    Oh Daisy that's so cool I'z want one too now! I'z going to ask Mummy iffen she can make me something like that to play with, cause I'm not supposed to jump around like a loony now I'z probably in the family way... Though I'z still gotta exercise to keep my girlish figure and myself nice and fit! :)

    Oh that was fun! We especially liked the bit at the end where it looked like you were going to jump right in the toy!

    That looks like great fun. We were hoping you could get the ball out too. We were worried you might try to go in after it and get your nose stuck.

    Daisy looks like you is very good at that game, and having dainty wee paws such as yours helps.

    Also your mommie has very clean carpets.

    THAT is one cool toy!! You are an excellent pouncer! I really thought you were going to get the ball when you had it trapped on top for that second, with your paw in the top hole. Great video!!

    Great video Daisy! That looks like a very fun toy. :) We've seen something similar, made out of wood, advertised at one of the German pet supply stores.

    Daisy, we just want to say you looked beautiful in the movie, although a little perplexed. These human toys are made to frustrate us kitties...but we're having mom do an internet search to see if it's still available. We figure it will be good to torture Fritz with.

    Oh what fun! You were very patient, but it seemed like you became a bit cranky when you couldn't get the ball. :) Cricket sure would be, and when she gets frustrated she heaves a very heavy sigh. (it's very funny) Thanks for the cuteness today sweet Daisy.

  36. MonkeeJanuary 8, 2008 at 3:02 PM

    That looks like a fun toy, but I think you should be able to get the ball after a while. That would really frustrate me if I couldn't get the ball.

    P.S. You're always welcome to come over and be my snuggle buddy if Pixie gets to grumpy to snuggle with.

    Gee that could drive ya crazy. That looks like a neat toy though, your mommie should contact a cat toy company and see if they can make these again if they cannot be found, you could get rich; make them give you something for the idea.

    I like your move, Daisy. That does look like a very fun toy. I liked playing with the PetSmart box that we got when we brought home Moe. It had holes in it too and Karen would poke her fingers or mice toys in and out of them for me. She would stick the mice in the holes and then I could hit them out. It was one of my favorite toys!
