Photo Hunt Fail: Kite

November 10, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat36 Comments

My human does lots of pretty lame things, but I think this one is in the Top Ten.

I was positive we were going to skip this week’s Photo Hunt — after all, when is an indoor-only cat ever near a kite? But wouldn’t you know it, my human actually had one sitting around, for years, still in its packaging.

Does this look like a cat toy to you? Me neither.

She had some wacky idea that it might make a good cat toy! As if.

What the heck?

This thing sure is no Neko Fly!

Take that, you not-a-Neko-Fly!

And when I tried to kill it, I kept getting that horrid “N” word! You know… NO.

Boodie, it is not worth killing.

Boodie made some half-hearted attempts to kill it… and then she tried to bite off the fun plastic ribbon, and she got the “N” word thrown her way too.

And we weren't even allowed to eat it.

What a Photo Hunt Fail! Can I have my Caturday back?

    Life is tough when you don’t get to play with toys the way you want to play with them.

    Typical humans to say NO when you are starting to have fun !

    Bummer, Sparkle. That’s so lame only a Human could think of it. I see Binga was the only one smart enough to stay aloof from all the, um, “fun.”

    Hey Sparkle!
    We has tons of kites in Mommy’s office! They hangs from the ceiling. Mommy likes unusual one and we does has some very strange ones from birds to frogs to airplanes to boats! Your Butterfly kite is very cool!

    Hey, Boodie, don’t feel bad. If an hour goes by without me hearing the “N” word at least three times, it just doesn’t feel right!

    Honestly! Humans! They put these things in front of you, then it’s all ‘no no no’.

    Go chew on her shoes.

    That is the tiniest kite I have ever seen! I think it would be hilarious to see your human outside trying to fly that tiny kite!

    Gosh, Mom didn’t proof read. Here’s what we should have said: “That is a cute Butterfly. Pity about all the N words, though. Kind of spoils a Saturday mood”

    What is this N word you speak of? It sounds like something to be ignored.

    So much for truth in advertising. The package states: It really flies. But not if the kitties have their way 😉 We’re back post Sandy…Happy Caturday!

    Sparkle, the least your human could have done was to let you kill that butterfly kite and eat it! (except for maybe the string…) we hope you are able to salvage your Caturday 🙂

    Well, we agree with Laila – we will give the human an “A” for effort, plus bonus points for having a kite (unopened, nonetheless) in the house! It was also very kind of you kitties to humor her…

    Have to give your mom an “A” for effort. We think it makes a better cat toy.

    We’ve never seen a butterfly kite before – we’d sooner chase real live ones even though we’ve never caught one yet!

    Yup, that was a Kite fail. But it was worth a try. It was kinda of cute. But it seems it needs to fly away. Take care.
