Their Playground

Both Horace and Zofia have found a fun playground amid the support-bars and legs of the dining table’s chairs. Ivory likes to have a string-toy sweep in and out under the chairs, while Little Miss Zed doesn’t need anyone to play with her to enjoy the environment. I’ve watched her take about ten seconds to decide how best to attack a fuzzy mouse on the other side of a chair: jumping over a bar, or zooming under it? In both cats’ cases, though, they grapple with the bars and legs to a degree far in excess of what is needed to secure victory in the struggle with a toy. The fight is fun in itself. I think they view the setting as a feline equivalent of a jungle-gym.

  1. I do miss the younger years of Precious. To see all the fun and excitement you now have with 2 young cats and a kitten. They use
    their feline prowess for the hunt and the catch.

  3. It's always such fun watching young cats playing. I hope Horace and Zofia can be adopted together. They seem to enjoy each others company so much.

  7. It's good for the mind and soul to see our kitties playing! We humans could take a lesson from them about finding delight and play with simple things, wherever we are. :-)

  8. Katie doesn't but she used to; and Robin was the one who spent a lot of time negotiating her "monkey bars".

  9. There's nothing cuter than a playful cat. To be around such happiness comforts the soul.

  10. I miss having a playful cat in the house. Saku has reached the age where play is sporadic. I did toss some toys into the empty basement room and enjoy listening to him zoom around the room chasing one. He does love his cuddles though!
