Some people think my cat isn't very bright. I beg to differ. He can turn nearly any piece of garbage into weeks of entertainment. This piece of paper was his favorite. It had so many uses: he could hide under it (as seen above), he could attack it and make lots of wonderful crinkly noises, and he could tear it to shreds. What wonderful kitty fun! He also loves ribbon, rubber bands, twist-ties, and plastic sacks - especially plastic sacks! He also enjoys some good laser pointer action from time to time, but in general he eschews any store-bought toys in favor of things that would otherwise be thrown out. Such a green kitty. I think he takes after his mamma.
Unfortunately for both of us, the little man is a little tumor factory. He had a fist-sized tumor removed about 18 months ago - not a fun event for kitty or his big white mamma! Tomorrow we're headed back to the vet to get another one out. Poor kitty :( (and poor mamma's bank account…) Tomorrow morning is going to suck because he will probably keep me up all night begging for food I can't give him and then I have to shove him into his carrier and deal with him yowling in the car. Thank goodness the vet is only two minutes away!
Dexter's going to be in for a big nasty couple of months. After he recoups from surgery we'll be separated until the end of August when he finally gets released from quarantine. Lest we forget the 24 hours of flying he has to endure to get to Perth… argh. Finally, he gets to move into his new home and meet his sister, Alley. That should be fun. He'll probably be OK with it, but she'll freak.
