Silly Martini

I got one of the wand toys out so we could play with it together. It's a fish with a feather and streamers hanging off it. I keep dangling it in front of Martini and she keeps grabbing it and pulling it close so she can chew on the string! This happened every single time. She couldn't care less about the fish; all she wants is the string! She's cracking me up.

Is it any wonder I love this cat?

Great analogy and so cute using Martini's name. Thank you, Polly Hennessey!

Doesn't matter what enticing object is hanging off the string they want to play with the other end.

Who knows what goes on the mind of a cat? That's part of what makes them so great.
