My New Toys

November 24, 2019 By: Summer Samba43 Comments

somali cat with new toys

I’ll tell you how the cat show went later, but for now I will tell you that my human got me some new toys while we were there! Sure, my zombie toy and the toy I recently picked out are nice. But she wanted to replace one of the other toys that have worn out because it worked well for my photo shoots. Then she saw a Christmas themed toy that she liked… and then the vendor showed her another toy that she thought would also be good for photo shoots. At least they were all inexpensive! I’ll show them to you one by one.

This is the one that’s replacing an old toy. All the sparkly strands started falling off the old one. This one is fresh and new and should last a while.

I really like this one! Don’t worry about all the sparkly strands — my human hides toys like these really well to make sure I don’t eat them. I hope your human does the same thing with any toys that have strings or long, sparkly strands.

My human wasn’t sure if I would like the Christmas cat toy, actually. She just got it because it was festive. But it was a big hit with me right away!

This is the toy my human got talked into. When it flaps it’s pretty noisy, and she thought it would be good to grab my attention when I get distracted during a photo shoot.

It’s also satisfyingly bitable! These toys are meant mainly for my photo shoots. (I have others for regular playtime.) They are supposed to keep up my energy, get my attention, and just make these photo sessions extra fun for me.

I’m not so sure they work, though — all this playing made me kind of wild eyed!

    I was just wondering…. Dogs can see certain colors–the scientists are discovering more than they thought dogs were capable of seeing. Do kitties see colors, too? We’re all ooh-ing and ahh-ing about your pretty new toys, but do the manufacturers make them colorful to attract humans, or do you see how beautiful they are?

    My mom is mean, and hides our string toy in the top dresser drawer. She thinks none of us can jump up on the high, high dresser. But I’m boss cat, and I easily jump up, open the drawer and hunt. Petey

    I know Petey jumps up on the dresser and looks for the danger toys. I’m a snart Mom and moved it to the top shelf of the closet. Shhh don’t tell Petey! Mom

    I think your tongue is out cos you know next time you see the toy you’ll get treats. TW is terrified I’ll find the toys with the strings and ribbons on them. She doesn’t even like to take them out cos I get wild and might pull one off. In fact one morning she found a ribbon that we play with on the floor by where she hides them and tried to figure out I could get up there. It’s pretty impossible. I’m not saying.

    Those are great-looking toys, Summer! I’m glad you were interested enough to give them a go. I don’t quite understand what the purple one does/is, but it’s purple, and that’s good enough for me!!

    Oh Summer, those eyes are just the most beautiful. Besides dad’s shoelaces that he and mom make me chase around and swat at my best toy is the shredded red chew pretzel you can see in my latest post. I get into such a fit when dad gives me spanks and I maul that old thing!

    I have the same issues with my toys, and often get over-excited and then, just as Mrs H thinks she can take a picture, I walk away and/or fall asleep. Maybe I am just not as practiced at it as you are, MOL
