My cats got some toys for Christmas from my best friend.

Three soft catnip-filled Christmas toys and three soft balls without catnip. Last night, I gave one of the balls to Holly, who was on the arm of the couch right next to me. She knocked it off and I went to retreive it and she knocked it off again and I went to retrieve it and this went on for a few minutes until I began to wonder if we were playing fetch. If so, I was the one doing the fetching.

Does she have me well-trained or what?

Maybe he can throw some cat toys around his office so I can run around fetching them! LOL!

One of their favorite things is to watch us wait on them - congrats - cat is happy!
