The
Entropy Gang’s February 2024 blog
Herschel: We had a nice surprise the other day. The MAID gave Jellicoe and me a new toy. She put it in the conservatory.
Jellicoe: We haven’t had any new toys for ages, not since we were little kittens.
Herschel: The MAID used to give us little balls to play with, but the DOGS kept taking them and the THINKER and the MAID thought they might choke on them.
Herschel: Roxy came to have a look. She likes liver
too, but her paws are much too big, and so is her nose.
Herschel: That’s because he’s usually in the kitchen, helping. The THINKER puts us in the conservatory when he and the MAID are preparing food because Jellicoe is a pest and tries to take all the ingredients. I have much better manners, so I don’t have to be shut away.
Jellicoe: The THINKER suggested putting wet food in the sections. I liked the sound of that, but the MAID said, ‘No’, even though it can go in the dishwasher. It is quite big, I suppose.
Herschel: I wait
until Jellicoe’s finished before I have a turn. Most times there’s not much
nothing left but I’m not really bothered. Sometimes we have a standoff . . .
. . . but mostly I just watch and wait.
Wow what a great cat toy! Love the conversation between the cats ha ha
ReplyDeleteThey are very chatty cats! ;-)
DeleteWhat a great entertainment for the cats. I expect Roxy's tongue could do some good hoovering up.
ReplyDeleteRoxy's tongue is pretty efficient, but not as dexterous as cats' paws.
DeleteThat looks like a great cat toy!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased with it:-)
DeleteI'd definitely find a way to get at that liver.
ReplyDeleteToodle-oo!
Nobby.
I bet you would!
DeleteHaHa! Let's hope the dogs don't find out..that if
ReplyDeleteyou put yer paw under it, it'll tip over, HeHe! Job
done! :O).
Mind you...after 'ALL' that exercise, the cats will
probably sleep for a week...! HeHe! Bless!xx
They haven't managed it yet. It's quite well designed.
ReplyDeleteBoth my cats would fight over this board and tip it over if they could.
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to tip over, but Jellicoe drags it across the floor. Herschel was batting him yesterday but not with much conviction.
DeleteWe tried all kinds of things like that with Mr T but he simply wasn't motivated by food. It must be great when you find something that they want to engage with.
ReplyDeleteThey've never been interested in catmint, but they do love the Thrive treats.
DeleteI bet that keeps them occupied for hours, if the treats last that long, haha.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take hours, sadly - they're much too determined to eat the treats:-)
DeleteI love seeing cats being delicate with their paws.
ReplyDeleteThey are a delight to watch.
DeleteHow lovely x
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
I love watching them. x x x
DeleteIt sounds like Herschel and Jellicoe received a delightful surprise with a new toy from the MAID! It must have been exciting for them, especially since they haven't had any new toys for a while. READ MY NEW BLOG POST: Melody Jacob Blog
ReplyDeleteCricket has placed this toy at the top of his wish list.
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets his wish. Did you manage to count his whiskers? x x x
DeleteI've not given up but he's not making it easy. I'm sure he has more than 24. If only he would hold his head still . . .
DeleteCats are not always very cooperative, are they? ;-)
DeleteIt's not their strongest trait. :)
DeleteHi Janice - what an interesting gadget ... even though I'm not a cat I might put this at the top of my wish-list!!! Love the commentary - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIf I had to work hard for my treats I might give them up!
DeleteThe "maid" - lol! This looks like a wonderful way to slow down the eating and keep kitties busy :)
ReplyDeleteIt works well to keep them occupied and out of our food!
DeleteBess says she wants one of these activity boards too, and his hoping her maid and butler will get her one! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she would enjoy it. x x x
DeleteWhat a great cat toy.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post, I'm still smiling :)
All the best Jan
I like these 'quite by chance' finds.
