Everything's a toy!

To Ruse and Audace, everything is a potential toy! Ruse especially enjoys the box that my new wireless mouse and keyboard came in! It's shaped just right. (Audace has tried it out, but he's a bit too big ... funny boy!)


I've stayed away from crocheting anything because of these guys. A couple of years ago, I started to make a new afghan, but the battle with the yarn-chasers was just too much, so I put it all away. Then recently, I was asked to start crocheting little hats for elementary school kids. I thought, "Why not? These are smaller projects and surely the cats wouldn't have much access to too much yarn." Well ... that went OK for a couple of weeks, but today, after I had been gone for about two hours, I came home to find the following!!




See the culprit - Audace! - posing as innocent as you please, in the doorway, as if he had just been a spectator! I laughed and laughed ... and then took photos!

How cute, a yarn trail.

Good job of capturing it on pictures, too.

You can sense him saying, "Not Me" while sitting there so smug.

Great post, needed a laugh this evening.

MOL! That yarn would be no match for us too! We love boxes also.

Moms just don't learn that everything belongs to us cats...and we can make a toy out of everything! Good job, Audace!

Saw your comment on the CB about Melvin's toolbar. We have been wondering about it. It sounds as if you really like it.

Purrfect fit, that box is! and you should join the Naught Kitty Club! Stuff like that can mean a trip to the V.E.T. if one gets carried away...
