Think Outside The Tent

Scout likes to gather his favorite toys in one place and play with them all at one time. Here he has his Shark tunnel (best $6 ever spent), a Hot Wheels car shaped like a dinosaur, and his tent which was a gift from my coworker’s cat.

You’ve heard of thinking outside the box? He likes to think outside the tent!

He often takes mousies into his tent and stretches out as pictured here.

It’s shocking how fast he can jump out from this position and nab your leg. It’s actually a little scary how good his reflexes are. More than anything, it’s delightful to see how happy he is playing with these things.

We all could learn something from Scout. He doesn’t need fancy new toys to be happy. His old stuff, a patch of sunlight, and the occasional wad of paper liberated from the office trash can are enough to fill his day with joy.

  1. I love this!! The cat bed diagram came on the best day. Asher will bring you a toy in greeting. He will trade you a toy for a dirty sock. And he is happiest if he leaves toys in each room and each favored space.

  2. Cats are great, cheap entertainment, aren’t they? Have you tried the empty paper grocery bag, with a hole poked in it? My cat loves that….especially when I stick my finger in there. Watch out!
    Have fun!
