cat enrichment.

gypsy has been acting a lil' restless recently.  she has also been acting like she is starving all the time.  which she certainly is not.  she is starting to do things like eat a quarter-sized patch out of the top of every muffin in a batch when i leave them unattended on the table (for example, this morning....).

so as a solution, i bought these cat toys today that are little balls with a hole in them.  you can put a treat inside and they play with it til they get it out (kind of the idea behind kongs for dogs).  so i'm really excited, like oh gypsy has so much energy and is really food oriented this is going to keep her occupied for hours.

she totally hasn't figured it out yet!!!!

BUT out of the three catminos, guess who DID figure it out.  AMANDA.  amanda.  the 20 year old geriatric cat in kidney failure who can barely walk.  in the meantime beeb and gypsy are just looking from the vaguely treat-scented toy to me wondering where that greenie is.

what amanda lacks in agility she makes up for in wisdom.  thats my girl.

by the way, i still ate the muffins.
