Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear

Many thanks to ramona for her suggestion of pasta twists as shiny new cat toys - I have five kittens (one a few months older than the others) chasing and batting and pouncing and skidding merrily up and down the hallway, much to Spike's joy.

Mum visited us this afternoon and brought a bagful of marrowbones with her for the dogs. The kittens immediately pounced on Spike's (and really enjoyed it, especially Callette) so I had to get a third one out of the bag for him.

I've given up trying to make sure Squish doesn't end every marrowbone-day sitting protectively on all the bones. He always gets them in the end. I just give Spike the best one to start with because I know he won't keep it for long. Squish won't directly steal another dog's bone, but Spike always loses interest and wanders off to do something else and then Squish is in there like a striking snake, because a bone that's not actually being sat on is public property.

of course, Squish being Squish, once he's got possession he won't leave it except to pee.

Play with my world like it's your little toy

*sigh*

I'm so bored and frustrated and depressed and lonely and whiny right now - and therefore boring and uninspiring, I know. Normally I'd boot up Gaim and have a live conversation with someone at this point and I'd feel better, but it's gone to the Big Data Store In The Sky along with everything else I'd spent a year putting into place on my computer, and I'm pretty sure the current ramdisk/CDROM arrangement won't run it. So I'm begging you to talk to me.

Ask me any question about anything, ever. Or tell me something. Anything. Please?
