Another Easter Toy FAIL

April 24, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat34 Comments

Aw man! She will NEVER learn!

Either my human is stubborn, or thick-headed, or both because once again, she brought home yet another dumb, cheap Easter toy from the drugstore. And you would have thought Friday’s post might have shamed her into trying something different.

Thankfully she only bought one and did not go in for the two for 5 dollars deal.

She thought this assortment of spring-y Easter toys would make for some festive holiday fun for us cats. But it did not. At least she ditched the baskets — even she is not silly enough to think we would try and catch those toys in them.

Yes, I am looking at her like she is crazy.

As you can tell, I was not having any. My human tried to get video of me playing with the spring-y things, but there was a problem: I did not want to play with them. So she tried them on Binga. The result was not much better… at least she stayed in the same frame with them for a few seconds.

(If you cannot see the video above you can watch all 15 seconds of it here.)

Oh well. There is always next year.

    Hey hey hey HAH! They never learn. The only thing that halfway interests me about Easter is that long plastic grass they put in the baskets and this year they put PAPER grass in! Woe is the pussycat.

    I hear you pal. But, at least your oooman made the attempt to get you something. I didn’t get nothing for Easter. I am very sad too! The ooman here is trying to use the excuse that I don’t like anything she buys anyway, so why bother! Sigh!

    Well, Sparkle, you know what I got? NOTHING. That’s what.

    Still, that is a pretty lame toy I have to agree.

    The best part was when Binga just sighed and went to lay down again, MOL!!

    Happy Easter, anyway, Kittehs! Well, and your Humans, too, even if they did FAIL. And they did.

    Well, they had potential but they were just a little too springy we guess. Binga going to lay down and watch them made us chuckle!

    I never have problems with my easter presents to the kitties…maybe that’s because I give them things like rabbit’s feet and hare faces from the flyfishing store…

    We have come to the conclusion that Humans are severely stunted, brain-wise. As you saw from our post, they are also possesed of sick humor.

    Happy Easter ANYWAY from alla us at the Katnip Lounge–let’s hope for HAM!

    Those humans, thinking they know about our fun needs. We have a whole box of unused toys in the closet. Sometimes Mom brings them out and tries to present them as “all new” toys. Hmmmph. As if we’re dumb or unable to smell our smells already on them. I (Baby) would be scared by those boingy toys, and Jack would just be annoyed. But Mom did recently get a free little really nip-stinky toy for contributing to rescue cats, and I love it. I keep it with me in my little box.

    🙁 This post made me sad. This is something that I or my mother would have bought for our cats, wanting nothing more than to make them happy. Your poor lady was just trying to do something nice for you, Sparkle. You should appreciate the gesture. Make her happy and take away some of her guilt for spending money on something frivolous by at least batting them around a little. TRY to look intrigued.
