My cats got some toys for Christmas from my best friend. [View all]

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?

Yes they sure have us trained. I toss balls to my boy who bats them around but I have to go get them. Cats 💙 💙 TommieMommy Jan 2026 #7
