Beauty in simplicity

Remember that trick that I mentioned hiding under mommy's pillow yesterday? Well, I'm sure she feels like an "April fool" today because she woke up with a little surprise next to her face, brought to her by me, from her very own waste basket in her bathing room. I chose carefully for a good object for her to find, one that she thought she put away in the basket, but to her surprise it was right next to her when she woke up! I amaze myself, what a great trick!

I selected the best shaped object, a round cardboard tube, the same kind that holds the roll of thin paper by her litter bowl. When mommy found it, she asked Daddy if he brought it there for some reason! Ha ha ha! I fooled mommy! Now she's the April fool!

Daddy denied bringing it in to the bed, which made mommy suspicious of me. She went to the tipped waste basket by her litter bowl and saw the mess I made while searching for the cardboard tube. "Cyan! Did you do this? Did you make this mess?! Bad girl!" Mommy didn't seem happy at all with my careful selection process. She pulled out the air spray bottle and sprayed me with that horrible roaring bottle of wind! I ran and hid from that thing right away while mommy went back and cleaned up my mess. Oh well, the trick was worth it.

While hiding under the bed from the roaring wind bottle, I saw the cardboard tube mommy dropped while cleaning up. I reached my paw out and pat the object and it rolled! I inched my way closer to it and pat it a little harder this time and it bounced and then rolled again! I can't believe I've never noticed how fun this little object is! I spent most of the evening chasing what is now my new toy. It was super easy to toss it in the air, I could flip and catch it before it fell, and push it all around the room with one swipe! Why would anyone throw such a wonderful toy into the waste basket?
