So I have this (fake) chicken foot...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I keep it handy for first-response tech support when my computer acts up. How it works is, when I have a PC problem, I put on a Dr. John CD, wave the chicken foot over my CPU, and then do a system restore. You haters can scoff at the Unseen World, but it WORKS.

Anyway, I also have these (real) four-month-old orange kittens named Cheeto and Dorito. Cheeto has made the chicken foot his frenemy. He carries it around, growls at it while he bites it and kicks at it with his back claws, etc.

This morning, Cheeto and I have been playing what can only be called a game of fetch with the chicken foot. He brings it up on my desk and drops it, I toss it across the room. Lather, rinse, repeat. It’s HILARIOUS. :smiley:

I just said to him, “You’re acting like a DOG or something. Don’t you have any self-respect?”

Thank you for sharing this story. I used to have a collection of rubber chickens. Didn’t have any adorably-named orange cats to play fetch with though. :frowning:

Oh, I forgot the SDMB rule about pics being required in posts about cats. Here you go:

(Cheeto is in the blue collar and Dorito is in the purple one.)

Yay for new kittehs! :slight_smile: I think the “fetch” game is really cute and so are the names. I would think a whole rubber chicken would be an additional help to you. You could smack the CPU while it’s reloading.

That reminds me: I need a new set of chicken bones for the next time someone asks me for a time estimate on a hopelessly vague, probably pointless task.

I (don’t really) keep a set of goat entrails handy for when I have to book an airline flight. Honestly, guessing prices on that is ridiculous.
