My Blue Ball*
It's a doozy, my favorite plaything. It is kept in a special secret place (more about that one day soon) and it only comes out about twice a month. Now, under most circumstances, I'd complain about that (an outrage, right?) but somehow I understand the theory behind this system. If I had it every day, perhaps I would tire of it, or--quelle horreur--lose it. No, for once I can understand the role scarcity plays in my enjoyment, and even more surprising, I understand the Human is doing this for my benefit. And that's something you don't hear Spitty say very often. Or ever.
* And shame on you Kitties and Humans whose naughty minds went there. Besides, I don't even have those anymore. Not even one.

Me too have toy´s that I only get to play with now and then for the same reasons :)
Spitty is your attitude towards the human softening in line with the Christmas Season?

Yes, we hide toys from Angel and Chuck too, Spitty!
Mommy is laffing too hard at her Gutter Mind to properly comment...
Heh heh! TW does that with the Catnip Confection Truffles I got last Christmas. If I had them every day, I’d tire of them or wear them out.
Wow, only twice a month??
Methinks that you are growing up and becoming more mature and sophisticated in your thinking Spitty. (Some might be rude enough to say, 'About time!')

So absence really does make the heart grow fonder, Spitty??
Mom's laughing about the P.S. sentence - we're wondering WHAT she was thinking.
*holds paw to Spitty's forehead* are you quite sure you're feeling well? Approving of the human's behavior and all?
Must be Christmas - Spitty saying something good about the Human ?! Balls are very precious and easily get displaced here so t is wise to keep tabs on them.
My human hides my favorite sparkle balls because she worries that if left out, I would EAT them! Can you believe it?
AND you look so complete;y and utterly gorgeous there I can hardly draw the next breff!
Oh my mind didn't go there - no it didn't.....I'm innocent and you can't prove that I'm not! Anyway, looks like that sparkly blue thingie is truly your FAVE thing these days. There must be something to that old human saying of "absence makes the heart grow fonder" if it's hidden in a special place and only comes out a couple of times a month! Enjoy.
Hugs, Sammy
We love that blue ball! Those are our favorite types of toys! And we have a DaBird that our mom keeps locked up because we go so crazy for it... She brings it out every night for us to play and get our exercise! Purrs from Deb and the Zee/Zoey gang
I am glad you still like your ball. I noticed there is a photo of you with it in The Cats of the Blogosphere calendar :)
