Mancat Monday: X Marks the Spot

We didn’t tell you… we got an X a few weeks ago.

Pierre: I don’t know about this. It’s displacing my trusty yellow submarine.

Newton: If you don’t want to be the boss of the X, get down from there. I want to take it over.

Head Peep: Boys!

Pierre: It wasn’t me!

After this, we proceeded to ignore the X completely. So the X has gone to live with Cousin Earl and Cousin Shep, who have already shown an interest in cardboard loungers and scratchers. She gave our X away! Can you believe it?

It was fun for five minutes, X!

    We used to have one of those and we loved scratching it and napping on it. Then we wore it out and mom pitched it. At least yours is being put to use by other kitties. Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    The X looks worthy to be fought over.

    Well that is too bad that you kitties didn’t like the X. Looks like you have lots of other toys too. Hope all of you have a great day.

    We can’t believe your Peep gave your X away! Just curious though, can that X actually hold a full grown cat’s weight?

    Oh, boys… We think it was very nice of you to give your X away to your cousins who sound like they really like that whole cardboard scratchy thing. Kisses to you and purrs….

    Mom has gotten us so many toys that we sniff at and walk away from, she wonders why none of us, except Annabelle now, likes to play with toys???!!!

    You missed the perfect opportunity to bite it to smithereens and spit all over it, too!

    Did you say cardboard? Oui would have been all over it! But there are so many things we’ve ignored too. The crinkle tunnel (except early in the am when the mom is asleep), the turbo track, kitty beds . . . How nice to give it to your cousins who are clearly cardboard connoisseurs!

    How could she give away your favorite scratcher? I don’t like cardboard. I’m a diva and should get wood and sisal scratchers.

    The “X” is an “ESS”, right? We LOVE our ESS! We are pretty sure we couldn’t live without it.

    *GAsP!* The head peep gave it away?!?!? Well, it DID go to cousin Earl…so maybe that’s okay then?
