Boots, got crazy yesterday after I bought him a new toy. It was a white featherly bird or mouse, never figured out for sure what it was, but he had fun.
He was laying on the bed when I threw it to him. He looked at and acted bored. Finally, he got up to sniff it and started pawing at it. All of a sudden he started batting it all over the bed, up in the air and hitting the headboard, first the toy, then the cat as he leaped after it.
The toy slid off the bed, and he followed batting it under the bed and all around the room. When it was time for bed we had to hide it from him because he would not quit playing.
Both mom and I, had tears running down our faces from laughing so hard. It was the best gift I could give that cat and also lift mother's spirits for a little bit.
