Yesterday, I went to the pet store to get more cat food. They had Christmas-themed cat toys on sale for Rilly Cheap. Since these two nuts do not care in the least what season it is, I picked up some.
So far, I have just two out. Both come with little elastic strands intended to attach them to...whatever. They're pretty pathetic, actually, only about six inches long which is almost useless.
Unless you get clever. I have attached one to each of the two folding chairs, which we're using for computer chairs until we bring in proper office chairs. It is not uncommon now for me to hear rustling and destruction, and look over to see one cat or the other (but usually Babe) sprawled under a chair, attacking the dangling toy. Since Babe generally only vaguely plays with toys that don't dangle, this is actually very effective at keeping her entertained. (Apple, as we've seen from the videos, would be perfectly entertained by herself in a completely empty room, if necessary. Possibly to the detriment of sanity, but she'd be happy.)

coming by to say hi
I think about you sometimes and come by - but I admit I don't usually leave a comment. It always feels like I'd be barging into the middle of a conversation - which is silly I know because I'm sure you'd like to know I came around. Thanks for leaving me a comment - I don't know what I'll do in the future with blogs or online journals - just need to step back to figure it out.
Happy Belated Birthday! Does that make you a Capricorn? I'm married to one so we just celebrated his.
Anyway, I'll try to come around and leave more comments so we can stay in touch.

Re: coming by to say hi
Of course a blog is a conversation but it is a conversation with all the readers. You are more than welcome at this conversational table and I hope you will chime in as often as you find anything of interest to say!
(Now if only LJ made it easier for you to ID yourself and see responses, no? Sigh.)
Yes, I am a Capricorn also. (And my birthday, for a bit of trivia, is also my grandfather's birthday - Dad's father, though I never knew him; he passed away before I was born.)
