Default Goofballs with A Golf Ball :)

The neighbor's cats, Schwartzy & Fetters, are very well behaved kitties.
They never go up on the [golf course] green behind Mom's house unless the
neighbor is with them. No one golfs on Monday; it's maintenance day. So
she was out there with the kitties, planning to head up on green so they
could roll around on the shorter grass. But wait! Someone apparently left
a golf ball by the green. Oh boy! A round thing! They were pawing at it
curiously; hmm, it sort of rolls. The neighbor tossed it; two furry black
streaks chased after it. They spent a good ten minutes batting it around.
It was so cute to watch, even if neither one actually landed the ball in the
hole

Kitty golf is an entirely different game from hoomin golf. Peeple are so
goal-oriented. Kitty golf is just all about-- bat the ball around!!

Any more word on when you'll be getting back home to Persia and Peaches or
getting Persia there (sorry if this was already covered, I've not had time
to catch up with much more than anything but sending needed purrs).

Hugs,

Default Goofballs with A Golf Ball :)

Last year I picked up some practice golf balls at a tag sale. Some of the
balls are foam with a heavy center to add a little weight and some are
plastic with holes in them. My cats love them.

the brothers, like their predecessor, lose balls under things in seconds.
I have a supply in the closet and throw them one every so often and _BAM_
it's gone. Silly kitties!

That happens here. They get to play with balls when I move the sofa to
vacuum. Doesn't happen all that often.

They've got to where they will put them under things and then look at us
like we are supposed to fetch or something.

There is a hassock with a slip cover over it in front of the fireplace. Or
as the furkids seem to think, the eighteenth hole on the in house mini golf
course.

When we first got Molly, we really didn't need to buy her toys. She just
went around the house and dug out whatever she could find.

She will still show up every so often playing with something I thought was
long gone.

I do that too. It always reminds me of the My Cat Annie videos
(http://www.zefrank.com/annie/navigation.html - click on Imagination).

I'll probably make reservations tomorrow to return home at the end of April.
There's still a lot to be done. Plus Mom has a follow-up appointment
tomorrow and another one, different guy, on the 22nd. I'd like to make sure
she's doing as well as possible before I head home for a few weeks. But I
really need to book now before the fares jump.
