What great names for your babies! Yes, it sure is something how different they all react to various toys. I did put some more treats in a little compartments and just set everything a jar or open so they could both get to them. Gracie like that one a lot! Ha ha ha. Moses could care less either way with that whole situation. But I did receive some crinkly Long snakes that I ordered off of Amazon. Gracie kind of looked at them and was a bit perplexed to maybe a little scared of it. Moses on the other hand, absolutely went bonkers. He was grabbing it by the tail and dragging it around a little bit. Then he would run away in quite the frolic, then make a speedy run back at it.
Mine both have that yellow banana toy as well. They’ve kind of lost interest in it for now. They have so many choice. They really do. But they do really love the box from a shipment, especially Moses.
I can certainly see your little pumpkins really loving to play with the plastic divider for the coke bottles. That looks like it would be fun for them. They could flip it all around the place. I love the idea of the brown paper bag with a tennis ball or ping-pong ball or something like that in it. That would be fun for them. I’ll have to give that one a try. Thanks for the idea!
I will keep that in mind as to maybe do some type of review thread on toys.

Hugs and sandpaper kisses your way to you and your furry/furless crew!

I tried including a picture of Moses and Gracie, but I keep getting a message saying the file size is too large.

@sphynx4me , awh thanks for the sandpaper kisses from adorables Gracie and Moses! so glad you were able to upload pics! (there is a resizer link thread several of us have used when we get files too large).
you babies are precious! keep us updated. I do "recharge" the yellow banana. I keep a jar of catnip in the freezer in a ziplock bag.

oh, several of our babies like the "dabird" pole toy. I like the one piece pole version best, (there is a 2 piece pole that comes up alot on online searches.) I can get refills for or even use the "go cat" little attachment mice, the squirmles wiggley worm attachment, dragon fly etc on the dabird pole. mine like when I put a large hole in the bottom of the grocery brown bag and wiggle the dabird inside the the brown bag or on their blankies.

hugs n head smooches precious Gracie and Moses

Good afternoon! It sure is a cold one out today, the high of only I think 17°. Right now, Moses is snuggling up in his blanket with me. I thought I would try doing a video and seeing how this works. That seems like it’s working better than taking a photo. That’s odd! I will have to check out that reside thread. Seems like most of the time I try to add a photo, I keep saying that it’s too big of a file.
Yes, I have the da bird wand as well with a bunch of different attachments. Moses likes things that seem to fly in the air whereas Gracie likes things that are more ground prey. That must be the American classic short hair, silver tabby in her. Her breed was brought over on ships as well as the Mayflower as a mouser cat. When she was just a little thing, I had a little mouse toy that went in circles that was motorized. I thought she would love it. But it almost became torturous for her because she could never finally actually kill the mouse, so to speak, so I had to turn it off. She would wear herself out and start panting to try to get it and keep coming back to it…like an obsession. So I stopped getting those kind of toys for her for quite a while. I certainly didn’t want her to be stressed out about it. I wanted her to have fun. She has always loved a sparkly wand, kind of how Persians live then too. These days she likes watching things move around like something of prey at the end of a da bird, slowly dragging it around on the ground, then grabbing it and holding it close to her body. She is a very sweet girl. She is very independent and very choosy when and where she gets her snuggles. Moses is more of like a little loving silly monkey boy who is walking around playfully chortling and wanting snuggles all the time.
I found a Squishmallow bed on sale on Amazon for $27.00, (40% off), so I ordered it. I am curious to see how they like it. More than likely, it will be a Moses bed. I would love it if Gracie loves it too, but she just doesn’t go for an actual circular bed hardly ever. She likes to lay on the carpeting. And her favorite spot underneath the dining room table, I thought I would put one of the beds under there. I thought she might like it. It’s been such a cold winter, I figured it would be kind of cold on the floor and of course, being a harder surface. Nope. She looked at it walked away and layed down somewhere else. Once I moved the bed away from there and left the carpeting alone there as it was before, she went back down there and layed down.
