Play

I was sitting at my computer feeling so "in touch" because I have visited web sites this morning and communicated, instead of just holing up at the house...and I was thinking about how my kitten, Lyle, had been sitting on the monitor grabbing at letters and how cute it was. Then it occurred to me that he was doing that because he wants attention and to play.

So it was fun to realize I could do something to summon him from another room without even actually moving very much...I wadded it up a piece of paper, threw it on the floor, knowing he would hear the "shhh" sound of it hitting the tile, and that he would find that sound provocative and come running...which he did...and then he grabbed the paper triumphantly and scampered off and has been shredding it...and then with extra energy came spizzing around in the room for a minute. He has since decided that jumping up on the wall to grab at a broom I have nailed up next to a painting would also be fun.
