Cats having fun

[Xinzerella]

I have a small paperknife in the shape of a small alligator with open jaws; you open the letter with the tail but the jaws hold a letter (presumably....). Anyway, I discovered I could clip the alligator on the side of my glass, and the cats immediately sat up and stared with interest. I picked up the alligator and took it over to them, and they wouldn't let it come near - if you pushed the alligator's mouth at their tail or fur, they snapped at it. It went for their ears, and the cats swivelled their ears around to avoid it. Eventually I clipped the alligator on the glass again, and brought the glass over as though the alligator was carrying it, and they seemed to settle down, as though it had brought them a gift. I swear they were looking at the alligator's little eyes - they could see that it was supposed to resemble some biting creature.

I wonder why they don't like the Kangaroo puppet? Fredi doesn't like the stuffed tomcat... he was glowering at him quite hard.

Schuster likes to play fetch with wadded up pieces of paper. All the cats like playing with curled up strips of paper. Keiki likes to carry tissues around.

I seldom buy real cat toys for them because most of the available toys have catnip in them and I don't let them have catnip. The catnip ban started because Tut was a nasty "drunk." If he had catnip, he became exceptionally aggressive; so I decided it was best not allowed in the house.

Tut liked to play "Where's Tut?" He would flatten himself against the floor, flatten his ears in an odd sideways manner (something like airplane wings but shorter) then run, all crouched down and flattened out, and hide behind things, with maybe just his tail showing.

I'd keep asking the rest of the cats, "Where's Tut?" Every time I did, Tut would scoot to a new hiding place. After a while he would slip into my lap. Then when I said, "Where's Tut?" He would lightly touch my hand or face with his cold wet nose. Then, I would pet him and make a fuss over him and ask him how he got into my lap and had he been there all along, silly things like that.

PROHABITION ALIVE AND KICKING IN FRAZER - USA -

Shock report on the banned illegal substances in the local feline comunity

A report in today from our inside reporters based in Frazer near Philedelphia, sent us the startling news that the much maligned cat-narcotic catnip has been banned from this small friendly community.

Local kitty 'Shuster' (age withheld) was reported to give this statement to our press department:
"It not fair, I mean we never did no harm with it, I mean what harm can you do with a little catnip once in a while. It's breach against our a civil liberty."

Rumours that the ban came about, due to the aggrssive behaviour of local ruffian Tut, whilst under the influence, have been strongly denied, and further rumours that a local 'underground catnip ring' led by the infamous 'king Tut' have also been quashed.

"We only want a bit of fun" other locals protested,
"And these rumours that catnip is harmfull are rubbish. If they are banning Catnip today, what will be next? Next they will be banning mice on account of the small bones might hurt us! Drugs such as Catnip, Cat Mint and Valarian go back as far as Bubastus, they cant stop what is part of our culture, It just aint fair!"
