I am TERRIBLY cruel to my cat. I tease him with a vine tendril

it is that I don't do it nearly as much as he wants me to.

This reminds me of the cat I had when my husband and I married. Her name
was Baby; she loved to go into paper sacks. My husband would twirl her
around his head for two or three rotations, then let her out. (The first
time I was horrified and asked him to not do it anymore!!!) She would
stagger around for a while, go up to him, rub his leg, then get back in
the sack and look at him until he did it again.

So I gather you changed your mind after you saw how much Baby liked
it. Did your husband tell you how baby trained him to twirl her?

One time I used this sig file:

Sometimes when I play with my cat I make him to go around in a
circle really fast until he gets so dizzy that he can't stand up
anymore. Then I make him to go around in the opposite direction.
I call it winding the cat. I think I wind him too much because the
clock in his stomach runs fast.

Someone accused me of abusing my cat. I had to explain that he
LOVES it.

Cats, catnip. This fall, I located two large bird cages to put around
catnip plants so they can be planted in the ground.

My cat has loved catnip ever since I adopted him when he was three
months old. I have been thinking of growing some cat marijuana for
him but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks for your sig line.

You are very welcome.

around the house or me who trained him to take laundry basket
rides.
