A cheap toy to amuse your kitties with:

[MiddleFingerMom]

.
.
.
Take a rolling paper and tear it (with the grain so it tears straight) into thin strips.
.
Fold it over about 1/4-1/3 of the way down (the bent part should just lean over
at about 30 degrees -- kinda like ONE arm of the letter "Y&quot .
.
Hold it as high as you can and get your kitty's attention. Release. It'll spin quickly
and fall to the ground slowly -- looking amazingly bug-like. I've not seen a cat yet
that could resist playing with you at this game for a long, LONG time (well, Greycat
quit pretty quickly -- she was pretty pudgy but she would go all ninja gymnastics
BONKERS for about 6 good leaps before she just plain tuckered out -- but it was
the ONLY exercise I could ever get her involved in).

1. I miss the old fanfold computer paper with the removeable perforated edges...

those removed edges were good for many cat toys and hours of fun.

2. Ahh for those days again. My 16 year old kitteh just sits all prim and proper like these days.

Brought out the laser pointer o' fun and she just looks at me like..."you kidding?"

3. Try this. The thought of slowly torturing a "bug" to death sets their cold, cold hearts aboil!!!

4. Heh. Naw, those instincts are gone...

The only remaining killer instincts involve the food dish.

But back in the day my kitteh would have been right there with ya.

5. I read this over and over and I still don't get it

First of all, it took me a while to figure out what "rolling paper" was. Once I remembered, I felt very old and uncool. How many thin strips do you make? What does it look like when it's done? I have a very overweight cat that needs this but I can't figure out how to make one.

6. I still don't know what rolling paper is. Help? nt

7. It's usually plural: "rolling papers"

It's for making roll-your-own cigarettes.
