The house is a mess.
This evening I finally got sick of the disaster that is our house and I grabbed a garbage bag and started throwing things away. A lot of things the cats consider to be toys – like wrapping paper from Christmas. At first, Kitten Thunder was less than thrilled.
As I was cleaning off the coffee table in the living room, though, I found a ring of some sort for Obi. It was a vicious ring that required him to leap and run and pounce!
Then it escaped into the coat closet.
The Boy opened the door to the closet and liberated not only the ring but several other toys. Including a milk ring.
Milk rings, in case you don’t know, are Oliver’s absolute favorite toy. And this milk ring was feisty! He leaped. He ran. He threw it in the air and caught it as he rolled across the floor.
Obi looked on from the dining room, holding his toy and watching his older brother play. Who was this kitten, posing as Oliver? Then Obi tackled him.
Rings forgotten. Thunder on.

It’s Thunder Thursday! This week I was kitten sitting Goblin while Lori was away at training. There was a whole bunch of purring going on.
And some weirdness. I walked in to the house and found throw blankets. Everywhere. Apparently, when left to his own devices for too long, Goblin will redecorate. Or maybe he just wanted to lay on a blanket in the sunbeam. Can’t blame him there.
Kitten Thunder: Life lessons and cat tales 
Sweet… Daily when I am back home from work I have to clean up mess… sweet it is always… makes me immensely satisfied 🙂
I’m eyeing up the christmas tinsel which has been a “toy” for a while and I want to bin it lol
I’m also going to have to get rid of all the shipping boxes…
I think the very first Kitten Thunder post I ever read was about milk rings — they’d changed the packaging and eliminated the rings on the brand of milk you were buying at the time.
Yes! We still have that problem. All the more reason for Oliver to celebrate, in a ridiculously kitteny way, when we found one. Stupid Albertsons brand milk.
