Ahhhhnold Cat Toy

I had to pop in to Petsmart last night because the precious (say that with a Gollum like tone) Tituba is on a persnickity period of ONLY eating fish flavored foods (including Ocean Fish & Catfish) and she was all out. While there, I found this faboolous cat toy. If you want one yourself and don't know if your local pet store has them, go to this here website. They also have George W. and Hillary.

How does the cat like it? Well, she was sitting on the floor with the Arnold next to a paw, and I pestered her about it. It's filled with catnip, and she sniffed it a bit, whacked it once or twice with a vague paw, and started to try to chew on its head. I figured hillarity would ensue moments later as my kitty clawed the Terminator and carried him around the house in her mouth (which you know is the point of making these toys-- tormenting politicians in effigy is good clean fun). But she couldn't get a good grip on the head and just decided to go have some more catfish instead. Just before abandoning the toy in favor of a little snack, she scowled at me, and gave me a meow which seemed to say "Moooommm, I can't be expected to perform tricks on command!"* Poor thing.

*yes, I am one of those people who thinks of her cat like a baby, and insist in conversation that she's calling me "mom" and Andrew "dad." Deal with it.
