Tip for Kitty Owners

Just a simple tip for those of you who have kittens or cats that require constant fun.  After watching my kitten play with some 'debris' in the tub (dry) on her own, I thought I should put one of her toys in there so the poor thing doesn't have to resort to trash to play with.  So on my route to her toy basket.... my attention was diverted to a bowl of shiny marbles I have on display in my dining room. (I am an addict to color... what is more awesome than a colorful marble!)

This was the thought sequence....1) Tub 2) Curvature 3) Marble 4) Curvature 5) Paw 6) Swirl 7) Automatic Kitten Toy!

So instead of going for her pink puff ball... I grabbed a blue marble from the pile of gorgeous marbles and made my way back to the bathroom.  She was still in the tub trying to find something to play with in this new white play pen and looked up at me when I came in with my toy offering.  After showing her what I was about to introduce to her (can't scare the kitties!) I placed the marble against the inside edge of the tub and let it roll.

She was instantly hooked!  Pat with the paw and ZOOOM it rolls all over the tub left and right and round in circles at the drain. Forty minutes later she finally decides that the fun is over (for now) and came to find out what 'Mamma' is up to (that's me).  Mamma is typing this up on the blog to share with her buddies...

Marble + Tub + Kitten = One of the greatest discoveries of 2012 (aside from when we all discover the world won't come to an end because the Mayans aren't gods)

NOTE: If you don't have one of those tubs with a cover on the drain, get one or don't attempt!
