I found where they went

On By CarynIn Cats

I was down to two hair combs and a few pins. Where are all my hair ties? They usually end up on my side table after a long day, but there weren’t any where I usually leave them. At least, they weren’t on the surface. They were all in the side pocket. It appears Thor the cat (really a kitten since he isn’t a year old yet) has the “let’s push it and see where it goes” feline tendency. At least that is my theory on why all my bits and bobs were at the bottom of the pocket. It is a good thing he is cute.

I haven’t checked under the couches yet. Hm.

Tall boy

I saw Thor the cat stretch up to reach the counter and marveled at how far he stretched. To get the picture I put one of his toys up there. He’s 10 months old.

Playtime

Thor comes and asks to play and everyone else joins in. The thin ribbon is favorite, but I have to keep close watch for tears and loose bits. Missy doesn’t care for the ribbon, but could I please throw/kick/move her ball? (She has an obsession.)

Mustache gauge

A cat’s tail as a temperature gauge: when the tail becomes a mustache, it is getting cold.

Negotiation

Missy the dog’s favorite blue ball rolled too close to the cat. She brought him the red ball as a negotiation tactic. Thor the cat was unsure of the offer and was unwilling to throw the blue ball. Eventually Missy was able to obtain her blue ball through stealth and bravery.

Good-bye 2023. May 2024 bring you all successful negotiations.
