Jewel's Journey

Jewel crouched down on the couch.
When I was renting a room from Jewel's former owner, I discovered something new about Jewel.  I don't remember exactly how it came about, but I suspect I had gotten the toy out to play with Carmine or Milita, and then went into Jewel's former owner's room to visit with him and Jewel.  The toy was a pole with cloth-like strings hanging off the end.  I started moving the toy around by Jewel, and to my shock, she starting batting at it!  It turns out she really liked the toy, so I started getting it out more often to play with her.

It always made me happy to see Jewel enjoy a nice play session.

Do your cats enjoy fishing pole toys?

  2. Chuck likes when a use a wand toy like I'm casting for fish, while Angel will sit up like a meerkat if I dangle the wand toy over her head.

  3. Our tribe of 5 enjoy varied toys, the older cats do like fishing poles, one of the kittens likes milk carton plastic rings, our 3-yr old rescue loves anything she can dig out of the junk drawer and Alberto likes to sit in the toy box with an expression that says, "None of these items are worthy."

  13. Mousie is highly competitive with the stick toy. Competitive to the point of mania! Even if I don't have it out yet, if she here's the bell in my bag, she starts to pace!

  16. We think Jewel had EXCELLENT taste in toys. Faraday's fave is the strip of long fabric attached to a pole - his "snakey"!
