This is cute….right?
Well, yes and no. Yes, it’s adorable any time during daylight hours…..not so cute when you go to sleep.
I thought I was being so smart teaching Loki to fetch. I thought I could keep him doing it if I showered him with love every time he brought me a toy and then retrieved it. But what ends up happening is that he doesn’t always go get the toy I threw. Instead, he often goes and roots around int he basket where we toss them all and brings me one after another. Within an hour or so there are usually a half a dozen or more toys littering the hallway. OK, so that’s not really a crime either.
But what our not-such-a-genius cat has decided is that if he brings me something…that equals lots of attention….regardless of when.
We often wake up and find a toy of two on the bed. I always thought it quite cute that someone brought their toys to bed. Then last night, after I turned off the laptop and was trying to get to sleep, Loki arrived and deposited a toy on my chest and started thumping his head against me waiting for the attention that always accompanies the toy. I gave him a few strokes and threw the toy….it came back…along with more wet nose kisses and loose cat hair up my nose. So I put the toy aside on the bed and rolled over. He left…and returned with a new toy.
This went on for almost an hour.
When I woke up this morning (only because a cold wet nose was stuck in my eye) I found quite the load of toys on the bed.
No wonder I haven’t had a decent nights sleep in a week!
But dammit he’s cute!

Great shot, and Loki is such a beauty. I’ve noticed before that certain breeds of cats seem to enjoy playing fetch.
