I got a new kitty last year and he is quite the character. Finnian is the first cat I’ve ever had who plays catch. He likes to bat at rolled up paper thrown to him as if he were playing baseball. I play hide-n-seek with him…really!
One day I was sitting in my red chair reading when he comes running by with this red thing in his mouth. Hum…what was that? I go check and find that he has nabbed the Beanie Baby red dog that was in our grandsons crib. I take it away from him, tell him naughty kitty and then put it back. 5 minutes later…..flash of red comes running by….I put it back….5 minutes later….well, you get the picture.
Hunting Red Dog has now become a regular activity for Finnian. And we have turned this hunting into a game. We hide Red Dog all over the house.

When Finn walks by and sees Red Dog he immediately stops what he’s doing to attack.
Some times its just to throw the dog to the floor and then he saunters off with his tail held high in victory…other times he plays with it just as if it were a mouse. And when we leave Finnian alone for too long I find other Beanie Baby “kills” all over the place! But Red Dog is the only one he hunts on a daily basis. Silly cat.

That is SO funny! I wonder why the red dog!?!
Your cat should get together with Stella, Rebecca's cat. She's another "character"; playing fetch, getting into things (including Bec's dinner), *chewing on things* (to the point where she has a cut in her mouth from something - who knows what) - I swear she thinks she is a dog. I think she would be highly impressed with Finnian's stealth and determination in hunting the infernal Red Dog.
On second though, maybe they shouldn't. I think they would be a bad influence on each other. :)
Thanks so much for the great story, Cindy! I'm going to send a link to this post to Rebecca. She'll definitely get a kick out of it.
This story makes me miss Oscar...we told the story of his starving himself to death to my relatives tonight....poor Oscar! Love you miss you!!!!!!!!!
