It\u2019s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n

Ziggy here. Zorro and I love to play. He’s\u00a0three and I\u2019m four. According to the Purina Cat Chow chart, that\u2019s 28 and 32 in people years. We\u2019re still young enough to enjoy toys. A lot. And when the toys we have get pushed under the furniture and we can\u2019t reach them anymore, we look for other things to play with.<\/p>\n

\"\"Zorro is pretty weird. I don’t understand some of the things he likes to play with. Like the paper coming out of the printer. It doesn’t matter where he is in the house. When he hears it start up, I’d better get out of the way, because he’ll just about run me over getting to it.\"Cat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The other day, Zorro walked out of the bathroom carrying Mommy\u2019s toothbrush. I just looked at him like he was crazy. I have more discerning tastes than that. Like a piece of paper crumpled into a ball. When Mommy throws that down the hall, I can\u2019t resist. Mommy\u2019s hair is fun, too. It\u2019s long and sometimes falls into my face when she picks me up. For some reason, Mommy scolds me when I swat at it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But one of my favorite toys is this. When I hit the ball, it goes \u2018round and \u2018round. What\u2019s even cooler, though, is the cardboard stuff in the middle. It feels so good on my feet. I sharpen my claws on it, and Mommy doesn\u2019t yell at me like she does when I tear up the furniture or the woodwork.<\/p>\n

\"catsBut what really makes this toy the bomb is when Mommy or Daddy sprinkle catnip into the cardboard stuff. Aaaah, maaannn! Cats are supposed to act proud and independent. Cool and collected. Disinterested. But something about that stuff just makes us lose all dignity. I can\u2019t resist it. Zorro can\u2019t, either.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since our humans added it, so the smell is pretty much gone. We can walk over to the toy, bat the ball around a few times or sharpen our claws on the cardboard and walk away, still keeping our pride and dignity. As it should be.<\/p>\n

\"\"Wait. Daddy just got a plastic bag out of the drawer. Is it\u2026I think it\u2019s\u2026yes! It is! Outa my way, Zorro!<\/p>\n

I-love-it-I-love-it-I-love-it!<\/p>\n
