In a thousand pieces all over the place

[lizblackdog]

My lipsalve rolled off my desktop and I had Shona on my lap, so I made a mental note to fish it out from under the desk later.

Heard a clattery noise just now, and there's Evil Elda playing football with it all up and down the hallway. She loves that smooth hard floor there and the way she can make things (or herself) skid all over it...

Common occurance here. Except once the cats start playing with it, it attracts the attention of the dogs and is then eaten by the dogs. I've lost more tubes of chapstick that way. *sighs*

I'm rather surprised Squish didn't eat it, actually. He's usually right onto anything the kittens play with. Their toys-on-strings have to be kept out of his reach in the cat room or on the windowsill.

awww, i love a hockey playing kitty. :)

did you see the dog in tenna's b_n animal shelter post that looks like mr. squishy?

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

she's great, she's such a little firecracker - always pelting round the house at warp speed with her tail fluffed, pouncing on the dogs. She's got Spike completely under her paw.

there are two that remind me of him, a red one and a black one... the red one's more houndy than he is but with the same big sad eyes. so beautiful and heartbreaking...

this is the one i was talking about - TOTAL squish.

they do look alike, don't they?

the other one that reminded me of Squish was this one (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/SkrapFox/Animal%20Shelter/animalshelter624.jpg) - there's less of a physical resemblance, red dog is much more houndy and less pointery, but the look on red dog's face is so Squishy...

d'awwwwwwww. that's the same look maggie gets too!

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

I know! If we ever got them together the accumulation of pathos would knock grown men off their feet!

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

just seeing the pictures makes me feel a little faint. :)

Squish in the flesh is painfully cute at times... I've lived with him almost two years and he still takes my breath away on a regular basis.

*squishes maggie*

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

he really is. :)

My mother's cat hates pens on the table or desk. She will knock them all off and bat them to a corner. Then she's done and takes a nap. If you put it back, she'll go out of her way to knock it down again.

Elda rules.

I wish I had a transporter :(

Do you have any rotini in the house? Cynthia always went ape for those (I say went because we've found a plastic substitute - little plastic springs, oh the rapture! - that the dogs can't eat).

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

...what's a rotini?

[pgh-anarchist.livejournal.com]

a different shape of pasta - looks kinda like a spring:

ahhh!

I have some pasta twists, they're not quite that twisty - I never thought of those, but I bet she'd have fun with them.

and they meet the cat toy requirement of being painful to tread on barefoot, too... I think that's necessary for a cat to have any fun. They're big on schadenfreude, cats.

Corkscrew shaped pasta. Light, noisy, and rolls for miles - the ultimate in cat technology!

I was going to shoot you an image link, but I see you've been supplied with one already. :)

[pgh-anarchist.livejournal.com]

sorry, it's called bored as hell and trying to avoid working :)

[ex-ramona222.livejournal.com]

Hey you saved me the trouble, no need to apologize!

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Your dogs are more civilised than mine, because Squish would certainly eat little plastic springs...

Mackie's eaten four rolls of toilet paper in the last week. I think he's finally run out of room.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

The only reason Squish hasn't eaten my toilet paper lately is that after he ate my mother's hair curlers, a bar of soap and a whole box of tampons, I got very good at remembering to shut bathroom doors :-D

Well, Julius doesn't EAT the toilet paper, thank goodness, but he'll shred it into cotton...After he did that with a brand new package of 4 rolls that I had just bought that morning...:rolleyes:...I finally got smart enough to empty the plastic hamper I have and now that's where I put all my TP...little demon can't get at it now...lol

Yesterday, they stole my duct tape and the marker I was using to close up packing cartons and mark which room they should go to...I still haven't found them...looks like I'll have to buy more duct tape...and Giddy has gotten it into her head to try and shred the already-packed boxes...I'm having a terrible time keeping them intact til moving day, whenever that turns out to be.
