the kitten chronicles - 37

All boys love their toys. It's not just rhyming, it's true. And my boys were due for some fresh amusement. Midnight Crazies just weren't cutting it anymore. So imagine my delight when Grandy produced 2 new toys for the fur-faces. The first is an As Seen On TV, ramp-shaped board that the kittens are supposed to use as a scratching post. You entice them to do this by sprinkling the
board with catnip. Oh oh!. Now the boys are on drugs. Rooney lay on his side on the floor and spun around in circles batting at some invisible opponent. Rufus got the munchies and finished off all the kibble. They both looked slightly dopey and happy.
Then they had a nap. No nail-sharpening ever took place. The second toy is a horrible ,shaggy, black, miniature "kitten" that when pressed on, makes first, a series of gentle recorded meows - this lures the boys in. Then without warning the thing begins to screech "EEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!" This makes the lads jump back a foot in sheer terror. They get their revenge
later when its stopped its screeching and they chew on it. They still sharpen their claws on my shins. Oh well.xxxdad
