Photo Hunt: Magical

May 18, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat27 Comments

Leave it to my human to bring home something cheesy.

For this week’s Photo Hunt theme, my human pulled out some weird kids’ toy she found in an airport during some trip she took a couple of years ago. She forgot about it until just now.

I think she is really pushing it for this theme.

You see, it is “magical.”

Her ideas are bad about 97.3 percent of the time

As you can tell I am not convinced that I will find this toy magical.

Trying to judge its killability

Even dumb toys deserve a touch test.

Awfully pink, isn't it?

But you know what? It gave me a big surprise — it came to life!

I think Boodie needs to be FURminated again!

Once it started moving around, so did my two annoying roommates! Boodie tried to kill it before I could get a paw in edgewise!

Hey! I thought this was MY toy!

Then Binga got involved. I don’t think she appreciates the detail part of touch testing.

That weird pink thing is alive, I swear!

Finally my human made the other cats leave so I could have some play time. It was pretty amazing! The instructions said that there is a fine black string attached to this Squirmle thing, but I couldn’t see it. I think it was moving on its own!

I wonder how many times I can kill it before it is really dead.

Maybe it is a little bit magical after all!

    What a cool toy! If we were to get one like that, Truffle would immediately grab it and take it off somewhere in the house to hide it!

    That does look like a magical toy. Any chance you could neogiate with your Mommie to let you play by yourself for say….a year or two?

    ummm…not sure about ‘magikal’…but certainly PINK! But dude, ya gotta tell Binga to tone it down a bit…she definitely does not ‘get’ touch testing…first ya have’ta poke it, sniff it, etcetc…but then Sparkle, you are brilliant so I KNOW you ‘get it’

    Hmm. If there’s a black thread on that fing, I will find it and chew thru it.

    Also, a kid’s toy? Really? Do their parents drag it across the floor while they leap at it wif their mighty claws?

    I think it looks pretty magical, Sparkle…
    And it’s PINK!
    So does your human have to tug on the black string thing or can you play by yourself? …sometimes those humans are too *busy* for fun.

    pee s: thanx for the congratz on our nomination…we were bummed to not see your name. We nominated you for best writing. We love the way you write because you have the perfect mix of seriousness and humor. Plus you’re the most eloquent cat we know. xo

    Sparkle, that does look like a very successful toy. Too funny. Now we all need to get a Squirmlees toy. Wonder if they still make them. LOL Binga, that is a great picture of you. Take care.

    OMC, it’s like one of those squirming worm kids toys the mom had when she was about 8….Several decades ago. Hers was orange and she loved it. Seriously. Too funny to see something similar again.

    Say, we wonder if our mom would be down on the floor playing with one now, instead of letting US chase it.
