Aww what a cute dish ! You seem to have your hands full Alice ... err Jenn (yes, typo)
A room-mate of mine who had a cat, was only interested in office supplies. She'd write a diary, type a few e-mails, organize files, clean out my shelf...
Jaffer- Yes, Alice has tried to "help" me write on my novel, contributing a good page of text which, while I appreciate her efforts, didn't have the tone I was using.
And so I am now encouraging her to work less collaboratively on writing projects in the future.
He also likes books. However, they're not so much toys as in his way for a place to lie -- so that he can have his own cubbyhole in which he can curl up.
Rambler- Alice does love a good book, too. Particularly if it's in my hands and I'm trying to read or edit it. I do try to explain, not all books are better with more Cat in them.
My Yorkie, Puddin', is more like a cat than a dog. Fortunately she cannot jump like a cat, but when I've had the laptop on the bed, she will walk across the keyboard or lay on my arm to try to get my attention away from the computer. She also will make a toy out of anything she finds within reach and handbags...well, let's just say that all bags of ANY type, be they handbags, shopping bags, cosmetic bags, gift bags...you name it...belong to her and regardless of size, are ideal Yorkie napping spots (even if only her head will fit in it)!
Sweet Violet- Oh, that has to be really funny to catch her with her head in a bag that's just too small to be effective!
That bag I took the picture of has lived in my kitchen for a few weeks now simply because Alice has taken such a shine to it and has been MacGyvering it into new exciting games.
Deray- And yes, and hands are also pillow. So any hand folded neatly in a lap is game for being a headrest. And never ever move the pillow, lest you receive The Bitey. Just admit it's no longer yours and move on. I mean, you have another.
Looks like you have a cat just like mine. His favorite toy? Feminine products, thankfully unused. Nothing like a chewed up maxi pad on the kitchen table to greet you in the morning.

I think you just described Seamus perfectly.
He also likes books. However, they're not so much toys as in his way for a place to lie -- so that he can have his own cubbyhole in which he can curl up.

Bwhahahahaahah! That's funny. In a cats world everything is a toy. And they rarely play with the toys you actually buy at the store.
Corey- She does love those furry fake mice. And also any sort of ping pong ball.
But she equally loves the plastic rings from the milk bottle. And chewed up bits of cardboard.
You missed one, boobs are pillows!
Deray- And yes, and hands are also pillow. So any hand folded neatly in a lap is game for being a headrest. And never ever move the pillow, lest you receive The Bitey. Just admit it's no longer yours and move on. I mean, you have another.
Ah, such creative creatures. It must be nice to be able to easily find so much fun.
;-)
Reforming Geek- Yes, it certainly says something about leading the simple life when a paperclip can bring you hours of joy.
Just last night my unattended slipper that I took off for 2 minutes became a toy. Slippers are like crack to my dog.
Sue- It only takes a moment, doesn't it? And yep, dogs are as into making toys of things as cats are, but often along footwear lines.
Ah, so many toys, so little time...
This made me laugh out loud! Yep they see toys everywhere!! Love it. Cute food dish!!
Daisy- Oh, I know-- I can imagine it's overwhelming at times. :)
Linda- EVERYWHERE! In fact, the cord to the camera I took Alice's photo with quickly became a toy, too. :)
The food dish was a Fiestaware piece from Valentine's day.
ya see, this is why i like dogs, the only toy in all those pictures, was the first one, of the cat.
My cats are expensive and heavy paperweights or at least that is what I called them when they sit on anything I might be reading.
Bob- Ah, but then why is the toy section at the pet store about twice the size for our pup friends than our whiskered ones? :)
Anonymous- They certainly are. Expensive, heavy and over-large for the task at hand. :)
LOL..the most random cat-toy in my house is a emery board..really?? I think they may be a little strange my cats
Thanks for your insight into my cats! I was wondering what they were thinking. This explains a lot.
My cat's favorite toy is the plastic ring around the top of a milk jug.

Should have gotten a dog....
Cats are smart. They make you think they're just 'playing', when it fact they're plotting, scheming and honing their skills to take over the world.
