Wha..? I’m supposed to make a game out of THIS?
Well, today is photo day again. Although there is an awful lot to write about because tomorrow we are having an Anchovy Festival and mama is going to take lots of pics to post on Sunday or tomorrow night, because there is going to be dancing in the streets (papa calls it the sardine dance, and it IS called the Sardinade, but what do you call an anchovy dance, huh? Anchoide?) and booths with anchovy tastes and there are THIRTY FOUR restaurants in this little ville who are offering anchovy courses at a good price for the whole month of Juin (June) and so, even though this is a run-on sentence, I am going out to the anchovy festivities and pick up a few tidbits myself!
But today is String Game photo shoot. I know, I know, I am so bourgeoise and trite using only a string for my fun but I don’t have any of those cat-climbers or toys that attach to the walls or swings for kitties or whatever else they make, and there are hundreds, but a little piece of woven hemp string makes me bonkers!
As you can see.
The Savage String Game starring Loulou (er…me).
I’m going to tear its throat out!
Not as easy as I thought…hmmm.
Why is it attacking my FOOT?
Okay, under control.
Oops! Look what it made me do. How elegant.
Okay, it’s in the teeth. Not a good place for anything to be around me, the fearless String Squelcher.
Now I have you. You’ll never get away. Note the savage look in the hypnotic eyeballs.
I’m going to rip…
whatever…could we stop now? My paw is caught.
I would not want to be that string 🙂 Enjoy those sardines.
We did enjoy them but they were anchovies. Hey, for me, anchovies, sardines, whatever swims, I’m for it.
MOL! We’re not sure who won the battle, Loulou.
Uh…actually, the string sort of maybe sorted it all out at the finish. I went to sleep.
Anchovies? You’re going to get anchovies. That calls for a celebration.
Great action shots of you, Loulou.
Thank you. That was on a particularly good day…you’ve seen the sleeping ones mostly, right?
Oh LouLou Your face and expression are purriceless. Mommy be grinnin’ ear to ear. But we did get da sads when you said you don’t have any cat toys. 🙁 Is it cuz you don’t like ’em? Me thinks every kitty should have some toys and their very own scratcher of some sort. You seem happy enuff, me just wants to make sure, you don’t need anythin’. Me worries so cuz we know what it’s like to be without. And we luv you. 🙂
Big Hugs

Oh, you are so thoughtful. I actually have home made toys stuffed with REAL nip from the garden, plus a ball or two, and of course, my favourite, string. And I have about four mice that do not interest me AT ALL. If you have any suggestions for a toy that will get my attention, PLEASE send the info and I’ll see if mamma can find it in France.
There is a HUGE cat shop here with everything you can imagine and she’s tried so many, but ….I just sort of get bored with them.
Okay LouLou. We just worry so much. But made with luv toys are pawsum. Some of me’s favorites are da Yeowww cat nip toys. Yeowww seems to have da market on nip, cuz most every kitty luvs their toys. Another great toy is da Cat Dancer. It’s an interactive toy, and could purrobably be home made purretty easy cuz it’s just a wire with some small sticks on da end, but me luvs it like da Yeowww toys. And PetSafe makes a lot of electrical typte toys dat are purretty fun. And ifin ya’ like track toys then Catit makes some great ones, and even has a flashy ball to chase. Me’s not a huge mouse girly meself, but me plays a lot with da Yeowww nip toys. Me will offen walk into da room and just flop over and start playin’ with one. MOL Ifin ya’ can’t find any of these in your store, you can find them online. Sorry we’s not furmiliar with da European pet sites, cuz a lot of time they ain’t in English. MOL
Luv ya’

Oh, Dezi, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all of those wonderful ideas. Mama’s going on the sites now to see if they are around our area, and I think she has found one…the Yeowww people. You are so kind to list so many nice ideas. At least ME, I, am happy.
