This kitten is just strange
She's got feathers on a string. She's got a jingle ball. She's got a ping-pong paddle hanging off the table so she can swat the ball. She's got a catnip-filled critter or two. Yet, when she desires entertainment, she pushes the computer mouse so she can freak over the cursor moving across the screen.

WEIRDO!

3. LOL
That's why I stopped buying those things for my cat. I noticed she will play with just any old thing.

Plus the little fake mice I would buy her were cheap and crappy and fell apart almost immediately.

Does your cat watch TV, too?

5. one of mine used to steal those little combs that came with
the "My Little Pony" toys, which my daughter had about 100 of
He found the canister they were in, tipped it over and started scattering them all over the house!

Then he discovered rabbits foot toys...she won one somewhere and he found it, and that was it. He loves those things!!!!!!


Oneof my young cats likes the tear strips from the shredded cheese that has the ziplock closure...

I think all cats like the little rings that come off the milk jugs

11. Our rescue cat lives for the milk rings.
Tin foil balls are always a big hit too.

7. I have a guinea pig and when ever i put his hay into his dish
he stomps it and leaps into the air, the vet tells me this is what they do when they're happy, it's pretty freaky to watch.

13. LMAO!
I wonder if hamsters do that. Now I'll be in there trying to make one-eyed Pete stomp and shout.

18. we used to have a hampster, he just slept all the time
and shoved food into his cheeks for later, not very active. This piggy Bob is nuts, he's a lot of fun and does some weird stuff.

8. My cat catches small rodents in the backyard and eats them, but she always
saves a little bit for her humans to find. "Awwwwww, it's a chipmunk liver! Thanks, Chloe!"

But maybe the most disgusting thing she's ever done was when she threw up on the carpet, and when I was cleaning it up I found a tiny little eyeball staring up at me. Swear to God...

17. Yeah, it's funny now, but I was really traumatized for a while...
Seriously, have you ever lost a staring contest to a pile of vomit? It's not easy to get over.

19. OMG!
I probably would have puked on the puke.

My husband's cat use to sit and Meoooooooooooooooooooooow so we would come and see what she had killed. Once we viewed, she was done and we could clean it up.

15. My cat loves the screensaver (aquarium thing).
He also spent most of Thanksgiving afternoon watching the dog show on TV from Phila. Go figure.

20. The cat is up close with the screen right now.
The thing loves to walk accross the keyboard. It's so funny. It rubs against the screen like it's my leg.
