Well, well, well. Scamper must have been truly bored this morning. It’s raining again, which is good news for us, but the cats aren’t so thrilled. She came inside to eat during a break in the weather. After playing chase and couch with Junior, he decided to go outside. That left her wandering around aimlessly. I picked up the wire/cardboard toy (this is a version of playing “Grab the string” with a cat.) She wasn’t too certain about playing with a “toy” that was attached to a human hand at one end. Like when Junior first learned to play, she tried to keep an eye on my moving hand and on the cardboard that she was trying to “catch.”

Boy, she is fast. Much faster than Junior. We played for about 10 minutes. She rolled on her back, batted at the cardboard, and watched it when it was too close to me for her comfort. Then she nabbed it a little too hard and it flew out of my hand.

Pretty typical cat behavior. It was nice to interact with her for a change. I think she’s warming up to us. Well, at least on rainy days.
