I'm ashamed.

Lucius is hiding under a padded envelope and Severus is playing with a J-Cloth.

Do you think they are trying to tell me something about the lack of toys?

Nah, I don't think so, because if you buy them toys they do what Mr F does: sneer at them and still play with envelope and cloth.

It's so true. When I bought them a cat gym they all jumped in the box it came in and had enormous fun!

Well, not necessarily. I could buy my dog the most expensive, state-of-the-art dog toy, and she'd still go to town on my shoe or a piece of junk mail.

Pets eh?

Andthank you for the birthday wishes!

[kethlenda.livejournal.com]

I hear kids are the same way. You buy them the fancy toy they begged for, and they play in the box.

Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin's Transmogrificator (?) comes to mind...

The horde loves shoeboxes and old baskets from the basement. I really don't buy them anything new unless it is Christmas or their birthdays.

[kethlenda.livejournal.com]

Oh, and happy belated bday!

My cats tend to take the horde's toys. Balls, doll's clothes, small plastic animals.

Poor hoarde. Having to play with shoeboxes.

:)

lol. K also takes all the cereal boxes when they are empty. She likes to make houses for her dolls with them. :)

Pets are like kids. Give them fancy, expensive toys and they play with the boxes. Save your money.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh they adore boxes. I must get them one!

Ha, I was going to write that you shouldn't bother as they will just ignore new toys and rip up any newspaper on the ground, but I see others have beaten me to it :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

The place looks wrecked! :)

[tharain.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think they're telling you "MOM! LOOK! TOYZES!"

[erastes.livejournal.com]

At least they aren't beating each other up, which is good. And Severus has forgiven me. Hurrah!

[smurasaki.livejournal.com]

But if you're a cat, everything is a toy. And the best toys of all are the ones your human doesn't want you to play with.

I think it says something about me that I sit and watch him shredding the J-cloth and not say anything except "awwww"

:)

[mylodon.livejournal.com]

Nah. They're like hooman kids - more interested in the bxes than the pressys.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I wish they'd tidy up after themselves - Lucius got in my paperwork and it's all over the floor - peppered with bits of shredded J-cloth...

:(

[mylodon.livejournal.com]

I wish they'd tidy up after themselves

See? Just like hoomans.

Put that self-esteem right back where it was.

Cats, like children, play with what they want to play with. Boxes and big brown paper bags come pretty high on the list.

So long as Severus isn't trying to eat the Jcloth.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I was worried that he was - he was ripping it to pieces. Very odd.
