Catnip!
I’ve got a spray bottle with catnip. Pusur knows what’s in it. If I grab it and start shaking, he’ll look at me with eyes wide with excitement, and start following me around. Sometimes he’ll have trouble realizing what I’ve sprayed it on. Because I often find new things to spray.
He has one toy that’s really fun, but Pusur has gotten more sedate, and doesn’t play as much as he used to. So I sprayed it.
This is a black mouse on an elastic string, attached to a sort of clamp that fastens to the top of a door frame.
I’ve never seen him quite that wild with that thing before, except when he was a kitten.
These days he’s got pretty good motor control, and especially for holding mice. But this thing was on a string, and would occasionally get away from him. Which made him a little bit confused, and a bit irritated. He really kicked the heck out of that little thing! And some prancing and jumping, like he was showing off. And the occasional snide glance at me for laughing.
Fun stuff!
