so having a kitten in the house is quite the adventure. true to his name, pounce does pounce. on moving and non-moving objects. and quite often on himself. but the funniest thing that has happened is that our older crabby fat cat--a cat that has been too cool to play with anything or anyone since the day she was born-- has suddenly taken a huge interest in strings, paper clips and golf balls. don't get me wrong, she's not playing WITH pounce. she hates him. but she watches him constantly, and as soon as he gives up on a toy, she nonchalantly walks over to try it out. she's playing for the first time in her life, at age 10. it's great. kinda like seeing your grandma waterski for the first time. which isn't a bad idea. grandma, when are you coming to visit?????
