That's what I read in an article that mentioned the 10 things not to do if you want people to read your blog.
"What do you do if you don't have a life then?" I asked no one. "What am I supposed to do? Stop writing all together?" The words rang in my empty head. You see I didn't really say them, I just thought them, otherwise they would have rang in my empty room.... empty except for 2 cats that is.
So I figure I can stop writing all together until I actually get a life, or just write for/about my cats. In other words, write for no one. So that's what I'm doing, I'm writing for no one. Sometimes I go out and eat and drink with no one also. It's actually fun. At least for me it is.
"Wait, let me check my analytics account to see how many hits I have. Be right back." (see, now I'm talking to myself!)
Ok, I'm back. On July 8th, there were 9 visitors. On the 10th and 11th there were 2 apiece. Then the 12th there was, yep, no one.
I'm pretty sure all of the visitors were me. Sometimes when I'm bored i read my own blog and laugh and laugh.
Anyway, back to my cats. Dr. Harry Smith has become possessive of a new toy. I first noticed he might be possessive about food. That was when we first got him and I let their food bowl go dry. In the morning I filled it and he took one side and Tanji (2nd) Alexander Hamilton took the other side. Once Tanji2 tried to get in, Harry moved his big head over to Tanji2's side of the bowl and proceeded to splay out on top of the whole bowl leaving only a section big enough for him to eat out of. So Tanji2 waited patiently as Harry did his best to eat the whole bowl. Finally, Harry waddled away and Tanji2 got in.
So the toy. They have those plastic wire balls with bells in them, they have a wire thing the partner made. (Partner is my partner... I'm not allowed to use real names anymore. That's just in case someone actually starts reading this thing.) They have a scratching post that Friend1 gave them. They both share them without any problem.
Then came the 'toy of all toys' apparently. The coop d grace. Both of them were fascinated by it. Harry found it first and was batting it around. Then Tanji2 came over and batted it around. They were both enthralled. They'd hit it on one end the other end would move. Harry would step on it and the end would stick straight up and he could get it in his mouth for some chewing. Tanji2 would grab the other end. Then it happened. Harry decided, this toy was his and the growling started. Tanji2 walked away and Harry took it to the other side of the room.
Tanji2 tried again and got another growl. He tried from another angle and still got the growl. He tried running at him from the other side of the room and got the raised hair, arched back, sideways stare, growl. And that was it. Harry had thrown down the gauntlet and won. Tanji2 would just have to satisfy himself with the ball with the bell in it. Or the ball with a bell in it on a stretchy string hanging from the door. Or the ball with a bell on a stretchy string hanging from the scratching post. The new toy was Dr. Harry Smith's and he would just have to live with that.
Now I know you're wondering just what this supertoy was. What amazing cat toy could cause two normally caring and sharing creatures to come to blows. Certainly this toy must be amazing for them to come to blows over it.
Well I can show you better than tell you, so here it is:
The toy to beat all toys!
