Obsession

As I mentioned, I bought a few toys for the boys when I was at the cat show on Sunday.

A rabbit (presumably) fur ball (which has been ignored), a catnip sock (slobbered all over, repeatedly), and two wand toys (one which also has been ignored).

Oh, and a cat door stop for myself, which was cuter looking at the time. LOL.

As always, click to enlarge for better viewing.

The boys check everything out.

Derry got the catnip sock for only a moment. (Made by the "crafty ladies" at our local Humane Society.)

 Nicki quickly took over and refused to give it up.

 

 Note the crazy eyes.

 

 

 

 

The nip was so potent that Nicki went after the little plastic bag it was wrapped up in.

However, it isn't the sock that has Nicki so obsessed, it's this:

 

 

This caterpillar or worm toy absolutely makes him crazy! In his almost 10 years with me, and with all of the cat toys over the years, I never have seen him so obsessed with something. Poor Derry doesn't even get one second's chance to check it out; as soon as Nicki hears the little bell (I must remove that!) he's right there, wanting it. When I finally decide enough is enough and put it away, he keeps looking for it. I should have bought two of them!

As for my chubby (okay, obese) little Derry-Bear, he still prefers his older, favourite feathered stick. :-)

Peace.
