Some Toys are Confusing

Here is a game called "Red Dot." I have still not figured out how to win at this game. Even when I spread all my toes real wide, I cannot hold onto the Red Dot.
The Red Dot, it always slips through my paws. And then I am left with nothing but memories.
Harley is trying to learn the secret of the Red Dot. But I do not think he is smart enough to figure it out.
Do you see the Red Dot here? Somehow, it climbed onto his back. Maybe it is like fleas. Or cooties.
Here comes Harley! I better get out of his way, FAST!

  1. Lol Daisy, I don't think anyone ever gets to work out the red dot, it is a very sneaky red dot and it plays tricks that even wide spread paws can't compete with!

  5. That's a very elusive red dot. We can't think of how to get it when even you didn't get it with that perfect claw technique in the first picture. Harley really looks dazzled.

  7. We think that some games, like Red Dot, are just un-win-able, Daisy. Unless you are the Red Dot. It always wins.

  8. Confusing but fun!
    We never catch it...

  9. That red dot (our is a purple paw)drives us mad too. We really try hard to catch it, but it always gets away.

  11. Did you send that red dot up to Cocoa?
    It was bounding and jumping all over our floor the other day!

  12. We LOVE your spread-out toes, Daisy! We don't have a red dot at our house, but the cat who came before did. Our mom would put the dot on her haunch and she would bite herself.

  13. I hate those dumb Red Dots! I chased one all over the house yesterday. Darn my husband anyway!

  14. We love playing with the red dot, but it always escapes us. We do not know of anyone who has ever caught a red dot.

    The beans were playing a very strange game with the red dot last weekend, in our yard. Daddy bean had a string and a board and Mommy bean made the red dot show up on the board. This seemed very important to them and Mommy says it has something to do with our Christmas present (which may be late due to the weather). We just had fun playing with the strings when Daddy was through with them. The beans also dug holes in our yard, where the red dot told them too. They are acting very weird. ~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis

  15. Oh yer the red dot is always naughty, but unlike fishing toys it doesn't seem to break when Isis goes berserker on it! ;)

  18. We love the red dot too, but we can't figure out how to catch it. It is VERY sneaky!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. We can never catch the red dot either, but we like to try! Sometimes it climbs up the walls and we try so hard to jump and get it...and then it slips away. We think it's a magic bug.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh no, is it cootie season already?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I always save you, Daisy, until the very end of my reading. You are always fun!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh, that red dot's at your house now?! That red dot is amazing. It can even climb walls and ceilings!

    ReplyDelete
  23. sometimes the red dot appears on our ceiling and Theo tries his darndest to jump up and get it. Unfortunately he doesn't really get that close although he never seems to get discouraged.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Don't worry, Daisy. That Red Dot game is very hard to win. My brother used to play the Red Dot game with me. I would try and try and end up bursting into tears and yelling for our mom.

  26. Daisy, we love the red dot game. Well, all of us except Maya who can't seem to see it!

  28. Good exerciser that red dot game. Mello could use it Sandy

  29. Oh what fun, Nixon and Fatty got the Red Dot for Christmas this year.

  30. Daisy, your toes are awesome! I like knowing that the raisin toest is under there ready to snag that dot. I think Pepper might enjoy the dot game some time but she's getting kind of lazy about that these days. Harley's coat sure is glossy and sleek. But I bet he wishes he had curly behind-the-ear furs too. That's pretty neat. You kitties be good now!!! Bonnie and Pepper

  31. Red Dot game is fun but you are right, it IS confusing!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Da red dot bug is furry frustrating and yet every time it appears we must chase it...Speedy is obsessed wif it and will chase it in circles. Very undignified.

    ReplyDelete
  33. oh, yes...the red dot...we loved to play red dot with our kitties. hubby thought it was funny to play red dot and have the kitties jump up the walls chasing the red dot. or he liked to get the kitties to crash! i have a naughty hubby ;o)

  34. That red dot is tricky. We haven't been able to catch it either.

    ReplyDelete
  35. You almost had it! Ours is pretty elusive, also!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love the red dot game too! I can never catch it either *Sigh*

  37. Is Harley stalking you or that red dot Daisy? I would watch out.

    ReplyDelete
  38. We don't have a Red Dot here, but sometimes we play with a reflection off of Mama's watch. The kitties try and try but haven't caught it yet!

    ReplyDelete
  39. The red dot is evil!!!!!! It goes places we don 't stand a chance of going!

    ReplyDelete
  40. You can never catch that red dot. It's like magic!

    ReplyDelete
  41. We play the red dot game and it is fun, and it tires out the kitty so she doesn't wake her mom in the middle of the night. It makes the little human giggle over and over as the kitty runs into the wall.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Daisy, we lose at that game too...if you figure out the red dot, let us know, okay?

    ReplyDelete
  43. that does not look like a fun game. i like red MOUSE game cuz i catch her and can carry her around wiff me!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hi Daisy & Harley!! We LOVE to play Red Dot, but we can't catch it either....Mama gets tired of playing before we do.

  46. Hi, Daisy! We trieds to send you a Christmas card, but it said your mail was "deactivated"! Hope that's not something bad.

    Dat red dot clearly cheats.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have that same red dot at my house! Do you think it travels around the world trying to drive us cats crazy? Sometimes it sits on my paw and I try to eat it, but it disappears before I get a taste.

    ReplyDelete
  48. My cats reading your blog, and now they request me to buy that red dot too! :P

    Merry Christmas to all the cats :)

  49. PlusOne tries to get me to play with something like that, but it doesn't work. I am not interested. It looks like fun, though, maybe I should be interested.

  50. Back in the old days, my cats had a big white light that they chased. The red dot looks like a lot of fun, too.

  51. Harley really is on the prowl in that bottom picture! We love when the red dot comes out and we get to hunt it.

  52. Daisy...have you tried finding the source of the red dot?

    Does it have something to do with your mommi?

    love & licks,

  53. Daisy I think you might never figure out the red dot. We have one of those too and it puzzles us to no end. Our bean thinks its wildly entertaining the way we chase it though!

  56. That is a fun game! We don't have a red dot anymore, but our cats play that game with us using a flashlight.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Oh, not the red dot! That red dot is so elusive! It sure looked like Harley was intent on catching it though!

    ReplyDelete
  58. This game is furry fun and frustrating at da same time. I don't think we'll even win . . . and da beans just laugh & laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Daisy, Harley's not givin yoo cooties, is he? Cuz I've herd that it's not good to have gerlfrends with cooties.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I think that red dot is an alien, Miss Daisy. Kind of like the red dot Wall-E sees before Eve's ship touches down, it's a harbinger of doom!

    I can't catch the durn thing either.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Aaawwww. Poor Kitty.

  62. At first I thought it was an M&M, but I love food! *giggles* Mom used to have one when I was little. Hmmm.... I wonder what happened to it! I bet I know!

  63. Spooker never was interested in Red Dot, but I'll bet Pete would love it!
    A very fun post!

  64. OMG do you think the red dot is invading like the vishus deer? We have one at our house too! I do my best to catch it, but I'm just not fast enough. Even when I try and bite it.

  69. The red dot toy is fun at first but I find it rapidly becomes frustrating. By the way, do you live by Tampa in Florida? The Tampa newspaper reviewed my book! Here's the linky: http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/dec/16/heres-few-good-reads-pet-lovers/life-pets/

  73. Oh this is Emmy's favourite game! Moses likes it for a few minutes, Bear thinks it's boring. But Emmy can play for hours!!!

    Harley really looks like he's studying the dot!

    ReplyDelete
  74. That dot - it has been seen darting around Alaska, too, another calico chasing it.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I git bored with the red dot. I want sumthing I can dig my claws into. The red dot is frustrayting. Just say no to the red dot.

    Red dots are magic stuffoms I thinks... I can't catch dem neethur... Bootsie Woo.

    ReplyDelete
  77. The Red Dot is magic, elusive, mysterious... It cannot be caught... But its source can! Hint: Look at what your bean is holding in her hand (apart from the flashy box!). Muahahahahaha!!! :) xxx

  78. We can't think of how to get it when even you didn't get it with that perfect claw technique in the first picture.

  79. Those red dots are mighty slippery things!

    ReplyDelete
  80. That is too funny, my dog Lena loves this game too, only we play with a much larger dot, it's from the flashlight, she goes crazy for it.

    ReplyDelete
  81. This looks like a fun game, but if the red dot is accompanied by an Austrian voice saying "Sarah Connor?" I would suggest running away.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Oh Daisy, you better get out of the way or Harley might run you over!!

  83. What great pictures! My cats have a tough time figuring out the red dot, too. My poor foster kitty gets so worked up, it takes him 20 minutes to quit looking for it once "the buggy goes to sleep."

    ReplyDelete
  84. Oh yes I know what you is saying bout the red dot. You should ignore that nasty thang. It does not play fair!
