Play Ball!


The baseball season in the U.S. has begun! This promises to be another exciting season. With the addition of instant replay, maybe the umps’ poor calls won’t change the outcome of games.  My Yankees open up in Houston this Tuesday. We will be celebrating Derek Jeter in this, his final season.  Meanwhile … WE INNERUPT THIS POST TO BRING YOU BREAKING NEWS!!!

My funky green ball has been located. After weeks and months of allegedly scouring every inch of our condo, the ball turned up under TW’s bed. TW claims to have looked under her bed many times without success. It was jammed between two of the under bed boxes.

We don’t know how I came in possession of the green ball. TW thinks it was part of a package I got quite a while ago from Mariodacat. I love this ball so much that I was no where around when TW tried last month to photograph the ball. By the time, the shutter clicked, this is what the pic looked like.


Early yesterday morning, I was heard running through the condo playing with my green ball. I batted it! I threw it in the air! I gleefully chased it all over to give it the what-for. Life is good again.


I’m thinking my green ball must be magnetic cos TW can’t walk close to it without stepping on it. Her foot is magnetically drawn to that ball. Even when she sees it and tries to step around it, she still lands right on it.


Yes, there were replacement balls. The first was from Petland Discounts. While I played with it, it never quite fit the bill. Then she bought a package of animal-print balls, knowing full well that her and Pop would never see them on the carpeting in the hall. The zebra-print ball was not on the rug for a half hour before it ended up crushed under TW’s big foot. Now it’s out of shape and slow much like she is. Do you have a favorite toy you couldn’t live without?

  1. Balls are the bestest toys ever!!! When I arrived here it's the only type of toy that Mommy hadn't bought for me. My beloved blue ball arrived in my Secret Paws package last Christmas and life has been purr-fect ever since!!! - Truffles

  3. I am very glad you have your favorite ball back.The Farm cats just got all of their sparkle balls back - I swept under the couch. I think they procreated under there. I don't remember them having that many

  4. Around here it's the red spotted mousie with the sleek silky tail. It disappeared for a while and when Mommy found it in the closet there was much rejoicing!

  14. Good news about your favorite toy!
    We like our Yeoww nip fish and especially like rubber bands, although we are not left alone with them because Mickey Mouser likes them too much... he thinks they are delicious.

  17. haha - that ball looks like it's been well used. i don't think I gave it to you tho as we don't remember seeing it before (But, maybe we did cuz M's memory lasts about 2 seconds) M does wish I'd play with toys like you do. I'm basically lazy and only play when the humans initiate something and hopefully they do all the work. he he

  18. Glad you found your ball. I was scared of balls because I got hit on the nose by one when I was a baby kitty and it left me with a whistley nose. I got a very soft rubber one in a Secret Paw 2 years ago and I love that one. My very favourite toy is my ferret.

  19. Glad you found your ball, CK! We love the foil crinkly balls here in our house. They get lost all the time though. There are probably HUNDREDS that are "lost" around here. Thankfully they are super cheap, so mom keeps buying more. Then when a couch or other piece of furniture gets moved, we find MORE! That is the best.

  20. Too bad TW smushed your ball, CK. We like those balls too...but they usually end up under the china cabinet and the mom hasn't fished them out for us.

    BTW, our Tigers opened today....with a victory! Though JV didn't get the win.

  21. A smushed ball? That's just not right! We like the foam balls because they spring back when smushed. And there are a lot less HBO words when someone steps on them, too....

  22. CK I like playing with crinkle balls, but my favorite thing is the neko fly Momma bought me! OH boy OH BOY oh BOY do I love playing with that!!! Glad you found your favorite toy!!

  24. Saku lubs his squeaky wand toy. It squeaks when he bites it, or when he carries it around.

    Sasha had a rubber toy he lubbed, but it has gone missing too. :(

    Sami's favorite toy is her brofur Sasha. He doesn't think so, MOL

  31. Woo hoo, so glad your favorite green ball turned up!

  32. You look stunning in your Yankees hat. If the Yankees ever needs a spokescat they should call you. It's great to find a favorite toy that snuck away. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)

  33. C.K., Unless we have batted them under the fridge, we can always find our own toys. We are surprised you did not find your green ball under the bed. Hope you can hold on to it for a while. Daddy follows the Giants. Thanks for lettings know how they did in your comment, Spitty. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  34. well, I do have my peacock feathers of course, but when I want some alone play time...I have two fave fuzzy toys...one is my very first toy ever, my fuzzy schmousie with his insides now outside and I have a fuzzy sort of knot my vet gave me...I toss them up, jump to get them and fling them around and run after them and I also like to sit on them and pretend I didn't know they were there and then jump with surprise and bunny kick them...heh...heh
