Bear, my male doesn’t like toys. But he watches every thing I do. Recently he’s tried to figure out how the kitchen sink makes the lovely stream of water come out. He is just fascinated by it. I’m sure a kichen flood is in my future.

I just asked the owner of the cat for whom I bought it. He says the cat still finds it endlessly fascinating. He has had it for about a year.

I read this aloud to my cat (severely paraphrased) as she was perched nearby, and as she was looking at me, she surreptitiously glanced at the desktop fan spinning away next to us, swung her eyes back to my level gaze and said “MEOW”.

And yes, my cat is paraphrased. She’s quite small. Seriously. She’s a runt. 4lbs of adult squirrel.
