My Favorite Toy

May 1, 2018 By: Summer Samba38 Comments

somali cat waiting for her favorite toy

Well, actually it’s my second favorite toy, and you saw it on my Sunday post! Maybe I’ll show you my Number One favorite toy another time. Anyhow, we are having serious technical difficulties here. My human’s iPhone is dying and she is having a hard time keeping it alive long enough to backup. She will need to get a new phone because the problem is not as simple as changing out the battery. So she has been focused on that all day — oh, and trying unsuccessfully to get into her iPad, because she has forgotten the passcode. Originally I was going to post this series of photos with my toy on Wednesday, but I’m running it today instead. I hope things will calm down around here very soon!

Don’t bother looking for the secret messages. I don’t have any this time around. It’s hard to be witty when you’re stalking prey.

Did you notice that I always kept one paw on the railing? Always play safe! And remember to back up your data regularly.

    That is a good tip – to play it safe and back up data. My human isn’t so-o great at remembering that. Say, that skull toy with feathers is COOL! I’ve never seen one of those kind before. Where did you get it from? The top image looks like you are in the slammer? But you would make the cutest jailbird EVER!

    Very cute.
    My Dad’s computer just died (actually he killed it during a backup/ system restore fiasco). Luckily he has a backup that can be reloaded once he fixes the operating system.
    Mom has two backups of her computer (memory stick and external hard drive).
    Can’t have too many backups! That includes backup toys and scratchers.

    “Remember to back up your data” – A lesson I am learning right now. My computer crashed last weekend and thank goodness all my files are up in one of those clouds they talk about. My brother is installing a new hard drive on my computer as I write this. But I will be doing regular backups from now on in case that cloud up there disappears!

    That toy looks like it would be a blast. Hope your human gets her phone situation resolved soon. Luckily we’ve never had those issues with our Android phone, though we did learn the hard way that they aren’t waterproof.

    uh oh, I feel your pain about the iPhone. I just got rid of my iPhone 6 yesterday. It kept turning itself off, it would say the battery was dead (right after charging it), it turned off when I was on the phone. Couldn’t take more than 2 photos without it turning off. I put up with those antics for at least 3 months, I finally caved yesterday and got the 8. I didn’t get the 8Plus just the regular 8…..the regular 8 doesn’t have portrait mode on the camera but the 8Plus does.

    Techie things are always so persnickety at the worst times…and they hardly ever even give you a warning…and yup back up backup and backup! Ie: Save, save, save! We use iCloud, but even that sometimes has issues…like I am too full to store anything more, MOL!

    Glad you are a safety minded kitty, Summer! And that toy sure has you all engaged!

    […] come along. First we stopped at a data recovery place so she could drop off her broken iPhone. (You may remember that I mentioned it died in this post.) It took a while for my human to fill out forms and pay them, so she let me run around on my leash. […]
