I finally stopped laughing, but man oh man did it take a while. My belly hurts now. Ken has a wadded up paper towel tied to the end of a fishing pole. He gets Trouble close to it and yanks it up in the air. Well, Trouble flys. 4 feet in the air. So the wad is resting on the top of the couch - Ken flings it toward the chair, and Trouble runs, thinking he is gonna get it n the top of the chair, and he COMPLETELY missed the chair and went butt over elbows OVER the chair. Wad is back on the top of the couch. Instead of swinging it toward the chair, he swings it straight up. Trouble jumped SO high he almost hit the ceiling, flipped backward, came back down on the coffee table, slid Risky Business style across the table taking everything with him. I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes.
My mom tied a string with a small twig on our cat's tail today THAT was hilarious!! He would chace it round and round
My great aunt is an artist and she has two cats that she "hides" in many of her paintings. Pepper and Lucky are their names. One is white, the other black. Anyway, she always had neat toys and stuff for them to do. On of my favorites, was a cane pole with pheasant feathers attached to the end by a string. Those cats would perform numerous acrobatics and put on quite the show whenever anyone touched their "fishing pole".
"Mmmmmm paper.... How fast can I chew this up? Think Mom will notice? Wait, is that ice in that glass? MUST IGNORE ICE...." At least that's what Nod would be thinking for all of a half second before that glass ended up on the floor while he was running off in the other direction with the ice.
