Well, it's winter and we are upping our vitamin C intake and fighting colds. Cue a big bag of oranges - too big for a home in a cupboard or the fridge. So they were plonked on the kitchen bench...only to have me turning in puzzlement at a strange ripping noise, and cats on the bench! Both Kato and Ava were fascinated with the tough, mesh orange-bag. So I cut off a piece for them and threw it on the floor. POUNCE!
They also liked jumping for it if I held it high in the air, and batting it around the floor. And of course holding it and ripping at it with their teeth - it's very tough! (As my cats enjoy ripping and spitting, I'm not worried about them eating any shredded chunks, but I do pick them up and bin them when they finally succeed in tearing off a piece.) And of course the next metamorphosis of this toy was to attach it to the 'Da Bird' wand and turn it into a whizzing wand toy. Lots of successful sommersaults with this toy! Just look at the glee on Ava's face when she caught it in her little paws!
