running rings
skillet has a brand new toy. it's round and green and comes free with the purchase of a half-gallon of lowfat milk.
he will chase the milk ring for hours, carrying it proudly in his mouth, dropping it on purpose just to scoop it up again with eager, grasping paws. he is happiest when we're throwing it for him — unsatisfying for us, since it's too light to throw very far. it requires only a short trot on skillet's part before we're throwing it again. and again. ad infinitum.
he brings it to us while we sleep at night, and romps with it among the bedclothes until we eject him from the room. this morning i woke up accompanied by the rollicking cat, the milk ring, and the giant rubber band that is his second-favorite toy, just in case i hadn't gotten the message.

I hate to break it to you - but skillet is not a cat. definitely canine behavior. my own guys will forgo every other toy for anything ring-shaped. can't quite explain it,

I think that George and Skillet need to play together...that would be just too cute for words!
