Exercise for Indoor Cats?
Rebecca Root wrote: OK, true-confessions here. When I was a little kid, I noticed some doll rollerskates at our local Woolworth's, and was struck by the fact that the little boots bore no relationship to the shape of human (or human doll) feet, but looked to be the perfect size to put on a cat. I was obsessed with idea of getting two pairs and putting them on our cat. I loved roller-skating, and had the idea that Simon would just skate along with me. So I cracked open the old piggy bank and bought two pairs and tried them out on Simon when my mom wasn't home. They fit perfectly, but I couldn't get him to stand on them. Every time I tried to set him on his feet, he just rolled over and took the skates off. Total waste of money. That rings a bell. Saw some rollerskates for cats but they were too expensive for me. But they looked like little toy cars. So I bought some toy cars and tried attaching the cars to you know who. She was not pleased. |

Well, I just want to say that I am going to be looking sidelong at the two of you from now on. |

"claudel" wrote in message ... I got him one of these, and he loves it... http://tinyurl.com/bqzux He seems to like to be able to swat and catch something that has a bit of substance to it. I feel the same way about laser pointers- I think they frustrate and confuse the cat because the know they "caught it" but when they lift their paw its gone. Get one of these; its based on the same principal as yours, but you can cast the lure on the Catfisher up to 40'. You can change the lures to provide your cat with new challenges to keep him interested. You can also replace the lure with a plastic clothespin to hold a treat. This way he'll get the trill of the hunt and the reward of the catch! http://www.maxshouse.com/Environment...r-w-suggie.jpg Phil |

I think that's hilarious! ) That's worse than when I tried to get little Santa hats on all my cats for a picture for a Christmas card. Now I don't feel so bad. lol Phil |
