Their Own Room

Recently, Butterscotch and Truffle have been waking Mom and Dad up at around three a.m. Then a few days ago, Mom and Dad decided they'd had enough. The kitties were to sleep in the laundry room. The cats have been taking turns yowling to be let out. It's Butterscotch's turn tonight.

A Cat Career

Most cats don't have a career. But Truffle has managed to find one! Who knows? Maybe your cat will want to have this job too!

This is about 4 mins long
It does not have sound

Toy Recommendations

Here are some toys you might want to try with your cats.
The toys are called...


  • Jingly toy
  • String
  • Balls with tinsel on the outside,
  • Catnip mice (they are not real mice)
  • magic carpet (you attach a string to a towel and than pull it around. The cat will attack the towel!)
  • catnip spray (you spray a toy with it, and if the cat likes catnip they will LOVE it!)
  • catnip squares
  • catnip squares inside of a ball that has holes all over it
  • Little tiny catnip mice that are different colors
  • They like bags, baskets, boxes, and blanket caves (all for sleeping)
  • feathers on a stick
  • and of course, another cat is the perfect toy!

Hope this gives you some ideas of what to play with your cat!
