the kitten chronicles - part 28

Midnight Crazies are more powerful than catnip to an active kitten. For new readers, Midnight Crazies are small plastic balls (about the size of a golf ball) with a jingle bell inside them. Cats use them to develop their "batting" skills. I know this because I read the package and "batting" skills are identified as important for cats. It allows them to do all sorts of things, the batting, I mean. Like wave at things that are passing them. Give a not-very-good high five. Hold up their paw when they need to leave the room. And of course, most importantly claw my ankle when I move my feet up to the ottoman. Anyway, I left a pack of 3 Midnight Crazies on the kitchen counter and went away for the weekend. When I returned Sunday afternoon, the kittens had a crazed look in their eye and the empty pack was on the floor - oh, so now they can get up on the kitchen counter!! They can even undo the pack -very clever. This is my third pack of Midnight Crazies. And still I can't find a single one in the house - they come 9 to a pack. That means throughout the house there are now 27 hidden plastic balls. But where?xxxdad
