Photo Hunt: Broken

October 29, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat37 Comments

This is one of the first times I killed it!

One of my favorite toys when I was a kitten was this floppy Santa. It was very killable.

This was a posed shot - Binga was trying to sleep and my human stuck the toy there.

It was actually Binga’s. She had gotten it the year before my human brought me home. So actually, this toy is older than I am!

It took us a couple of months to find common ground.

In fact, Binga and I bonded over the toy. After that she decided that she did not hate me as much!

Stupid dog!

But one day the dog ripped its arms off! The Santa toy was broken. It was a tragedy.

32,148 kills served!

Actually, I still play with it! So maybe it is not really all that broken after all.

    A toy that important to yer relationship with Binga should be cherished (even repaired?) . But we agree that a missing arm should not stop it from being played with.

    We don’t have a dog, however I got a toy like that too. It was small and I pretty much chewed one of its arm off. Very killable as you say. I still like it. I think Santa will stay with you for a long time…all together or not… 🙂

    Love the interesting facts and story about the Santa. Nothing better to play with than a battered broken toy.

    Santa looks like a fun toy. Sometimes things are just as good even if they are a bit broken.

    We have some real chewed up toys and we still love to give them a good whapping – they must enjoy it as we’ve never heard them complain.

    mom says that so long as there aren’t loose strings and stuffing, toys are still good!!! Which is a great thing cause some of ours look a little bit beat up….

    I am glad your human did not just discard it, Sparkle. I also posted about broken toys. Great kitty minds think alike.

    That does look like a fun toy. Probably makes it more interesting to be a little bit broken. Sure looks like a fun toy. Take care.

    I think it’s only broken if you cant possible get any more play out of it. That Santa looks good to go for quite a while.
