My toys keep disappearing!
Every time I go to look for a ball
or a mouse, they are nowhere to be seen. Strings, Q-Tips, silvery twist
ties, bottle caps, you name it – ALL GONE. I decided to get to the bottom of
this after recently hearing the suspiciously familiar sound of jingling as if someone
was playing with a ball. Following the noise, I entered the sitting room to
find Mummy [you will hardly believe this] kneeling on the floor in front of the
Sofa.
And what do you think she was doing?
And what do you think she was doing?
PULLING OUT OUR TOYS!!
So that’s it! Mummy has been stealing toys and hiding them
under the sofa, presumably so she can play with them when we are not looking. Before long,
others of the feline persuasion were gathered ‘round to see the action unfold:
Mummy kept digging and removing a mountain of dust-kitten covered bouncy ball, jingle balls,
mouses, strings, ribbons, twist ties, and my beloved Q-Tips!
Unbelievable.
Who
would have guessed that Mummy’s brain had become unhinged so that she would
start snatching innocent toys from mere babies, as it were?
It appears to be a delicate position we are in, too, because
she oddly accused US of putting them there. I mean to say, why would we put our
own toys under the sofa? I began listlessly batting a ball around then gave it
a swat that sent it shimmying across the room to bounce idly off the wall. It
spun ‘round a bit then settled in a dip in the stone tile. Cats dove in and began batting things around, too. Suddenly, balls and meeces
were flying! And we kitties began chasing and batting, scurrying and doing
somersaults in an effort to keep up with the missiles. We made a huge circle
through the dining room, the hall, and back into the sitting room, whacking and
scuttling until the balls began running back…under…the sofa…
Hmmmm...How IS she doing that?
Sounds like you need to keep an eye on Mummy! :)
