Stanley HATES Toys!

Funny Stanley. Bought him a cat toy, to hang from a doorknob, bought the wrong one, of course, as it will NOT hang from a knob. But it is possible that I am indeed the knob.
anywho, it's a stretchy string with a mouse on the end (and other stuff that doesn't work.) (I should have gotten a feather-type one, now that I think of it..) ANYway, I tried to get ol' Stanley to play a bit, and he did WIDEN his pupils, and THINK of pouncing, and then he suddenly looked absolutely appalled, and left in a huge horrified huff. Jeesh, what did I do wrong?? Funny old cat.
He did bonk his nose last week, when I threw a piece of balled up paper for him to chase, and he forgot that the glass table legs were there. Felt SO bad, cause I laughed. Why DO we laugh, at that kind of thing?
It was involuntary. I felt badly for Stanley, cause it must have hurt. So why did I laugh?
See what I mean? MegaPhilosophical...
I am deeeep.
Well, not really;)
Dad Update, Stanley STILL hadn't reappeared, three hours later.
September 18, 2011. Is that a hand patting that cat??

My old Rowdy cat was not one for toys either, but he was great at beating up on old curlers! Deisel, will occaisionally swat a toy , then wanders off like it is beneath her

It took him four hours to reappear after that huff, and he was still a bit miffed with me today. It's like I insulted his intelligence, and he felt I was committing felony stuffed mouse abuse, all at the same time. He LOVES Dad's shoelaces...
Much to Dad's annoyance.
They seemed to have a reached a detente..
