Froggie Came Out to Play!

Way back in December when I received the lovely shawl Susan knit for me, she included kitty toys and politely hoped for pictures of them in use. In an earlier post I showed the sheep toy. I've finally managed to get a picture of the other toy in use. Hooboo is the most playful of my boys. He plays with anything that looks remotely interesting, so, being easiest to capture photographically, he's in all the pictures of Susan's gifts. Here's a picture of Hooboo playing with the frog toy. If you look at his paws he is hugging it to his chest.

Wednesday, I wore the shawl to school and one of the teachers noticed and asked about it. She thought it was lovely, and commented on how soft it looked.

Here's another picture of Hooboo after he has caught the creature and subdued it. One of his favorite perches seems to be the chair seats at my dining table.

Hyram on the other hand has found the one toy that Hooboo isn't interested in. It's a koozie that I was given at a school district. When he plays with it the string and bead pulls attached to it rattle nicely. He's a very split second player which means he gets tired of playing pretty quickly. When I'm finally able to get a picture of him playing with it I promise to post it.

What a handsome cat! I'm glad he's enjoying the frog, and I'm glad you're enjoying the shawl!

Thank you, Susan! I'm glad too. :) I think Hooboo is becoming more and more photogenic as he gets used to the camera. Hooboo says to tell you, "You've got a good eye for cat quality."

Peace!

We'll have to start keeping tabs (or tabbies!!) on that cat, Lee!!

Lee said...

LOL Yep, David, we sure will! The next shot I'm aiming for is one of the two of them having a spat. They don't last long. Hyram often backs into a tight area so that he's protected because Hooboo still has claws. But if I turn the camera on when Hyram starts growling I might just get the shot I want of Hooboo flying into Hyram's face. This is really gutsy of Hooboo because he is about half the size of Hyram. So, please keep your fingers crossed.

Peace!

Lee said...

Hi Sandi! Hooboo does look like a ham doesn't he. When I read your comment to him he confided that when he gets older he wants to take acting lessons. :)

Joy!

The cat and the frog, that evaded the dog.

Where are you, Dr Seuss?

Lee said...

LOL The dog who chat with the cat in the hat.

Last I heard the good Doctor was living happily in school libraries. :)

Joy!

Hi Monique! Thanks ever so much for dropping by. Sounds like you have an excellently run household what with your top cat in charge. :)
