I found s stash of bright orange whiffle balls (the size of golf balls)

been having a blast bapping it around.


Last night she meowed and made a racket after she'd bapped both a golf
ball and the wiffle ball underneath the skirt of a bookcase in the
living room. I fished them out for her.


Today, the wiffle ball is behind the sofa. She's walked around meowing
and expecting me to get it out for her. The sofa is heavy, I can't move
it. Nor can I reach down from above to grab it. She's going to have to
figure this one out by herself.

You need a long stick to get that out. Sootie does it with her ping pong
balls.

I have what I call a "reachy-grabby". It has tongs at one end, and a
lever to operate the tongs at the other end of the stick. It was
designed for people to get things down from high shelves, but I use mine
to pick up things that are in awkward places (like the narrow space
between my kitchen stove and the cabinets). Actually, I have four of
them. I keep one in the kitchen, one by my chair in the living room,
one by my computer chair and one in the bathroom.
