Friday morning cat tangle

[rolanni]

Early today, Trooper declared his supremacy over the String, by placing himself squarely on top of it.  During the course of our breakfast, Sprite conducted several campaigns to try to win the String back.  All were met with failure.  This is the last soiree.  Note that the Stuffed Bunny has joined the fray, apparently on Sprite's side, since he seems to be biting Trooper's tail.

Later, resigned to this momentary setback in her plans for World Dominion, Princess Sprite naps in the window.

For those following along at home ... it appears that the tiny kitty in question -- from tip of tail to tip of toe -- measured exactly four feet ( yes, 48 inches) ...

I once had a cat that would eat string. I guess none of yours has that habit.

We had a cat who wanted to eat yarn, which made knitting...interesting, back in the day. None of the present batch seems interested in eating either string or thread, and I gave up knitting long ago.

The String is actually three leather cords braided together.

Fiona favors the sparkly strips of Mylar on sticks for nibbling. Cat teaser toys. I have to lock them up because she WILL find then and eat the Mylar. They are her second most favorite toy.

"Twizlers," we call them, here at the Cat Farm, and I totally need to lock them up in a closet when not in use, or Trooper would drag them around and eat the feathers and mylar. Yeah...definitely "With Supervision Only."

I have this length of cotton cording knotted at each end. Sometimes when I'm pottering about the house, I tie one end around my waist and let the other end drag on the carpet. Shortly thereafter, I am being chased by three cats.
