It’s such a simple thing. But it brings joy to their hearts. My brother Marcus just sits there and tells me I’m making a fool of myself; cats should behave in a decorous fashion. Piffle! Father and Mother do tend to go on about how clever I am.
My battery-powered rolling ball is almost strong enough to pull my box across the room. It makes my dog brother, Max, run like the dogcatcher was coming after him. My cat brother, Marcus, is afraid of it too. He gets paralyzed with fear when it rolls towards him.
Now I just need Father to buy me a few more. I’ll have Mother tie them to my box. It’ll be my own personal chariot! Off to the fray! Chase my brothers into the dining room!
It’s just a simple little thing, but it is soooooo enjoyable.

Oooh, I know of a Tribble-cat who would also love this. I’ve just forwarded this post to David, the current Tribble-cat minder, to see if it can be manifested in Scotland.
They are battery powered, and have a chip in them that makes them run around in seemingly random patterns. She loves hers, but Max and Marcus are less keen on it. It cost about $15 or so US dollars.
Yes, I’ve seen those, and just on their own I’ve thought “Tribble!” but attaching it to a box? LoL, that’s SOOOO Tribble. But yes, when the humans think “perfect cat toy!” the cats tend to yawn and lick their paws in disdain. 🙂
They are hard to please. Marcus and Sabrina like very different toys to play with. They also had a fish that flapped it’s tail Sabrian also was a big fan of that, but it didn’t survive long.
