........... even though none of them understand what it means.

Many cats love the cat springs you can get, as they bounce around and can be very unpredictable where they end up.

Simple things like balls hanging on the big cat tree keep Tobias occupied for ages, and he's moving around enough to manage to fall off whichever platform he's sitting on.

Combining the two previous posts, I sat for a cat whose favourite game was chasing those springs down the stairs.

The way she played it was that somebody had to throw the springs, she’d chase them & then somebody had to take them back up & throw them again.

Snowcat is not a big player, but she absolutely loves lights and reflections. She will play with the reflection of my watch on the wall or the light from the dishwasher. We just got her a cat-friendly laser toy and she is loving it. (Stripey thinks it’s a bit lame; she prefers things that dangle.)

Somebody has been exploring in the utility/storage room.

Banana and springs ordered!

Banana and springs ordered!

I look forward to her reviews!

Will she be testing them on carpets, hard flooring and stairs? Are they more fun with a human? Will time of day/night make them more play worthy? Do they need companions to fulfill the playability such as sofas, beds or fridges...

I trust she will test them thoroughly 😈

Sigh.

I put "biscuits for cheese" in the Tesco search box and it offered me cheese- flavoured Dreamies.

To be fair, it also offered me actual human biscuits, too.

Linney and Gizmo told me to click on the Dreamies, but I ignored them.

They might steal the cheese in retaliation though 😯

They'd have to be able to open the fridge.

You really should know better by now than to challenge either of them!

Well the banana is getting good reviews

We ran out of Dreamies for Kitty’s evening treat so I picked up a bag of cheese flavour ones on the way home.

She tried to get into the bag & she’s just been trying to break into the treat drawer.

Micia is beautiful, with a touch of the Sybils in her expression imo, I bet she too won't suffer fools gladly!

Breadcat24 · 18/05/2026 20:02

@Pudmyboy Too right, you can stroke her when she is sitting in a particular place (on a spare bed), nowhere else and when you stop she smacks you with her paw.
Hope she grows up to be a Sybil

Breadcat24 · 18/05/2026 20:03

@EmpressaurusKitty so cheese dreamies next on my shopping list

RumNotRun · 18/05/2026 21:50

I gave the tribe catnip Dreamies, the real ones not the usual imitations I buy, they all went nuts for them except Lex who appears to have lost the use of his legs. (Don't worry @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne he got some delivered to his chair so he didn't have to move)

She's definitely giving off the "MINE!" vibes 😂

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 18/05/2026 23:01

Oh well.
That's four days of my life I'll never get back.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne I also enjoy knitting and jigsaws - Finlay doesn’t let me do either very often although tolerates Lego

Is that a dog coat Broon ?

Breadcat24 · 19/05/2026 09:39

@Pudmyboy @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne I am hoping it is a coat for Gizmo!

That's a gorgeous jigsaw Jace , I love the shape of the pieces, very unusual!

JaceLancs · 19/05/2026 13:18

@Pudmyboy - I discovered them recently and love them as they are quite challenging
