otis, my big man.

otis is doing fantastic. the other day i stopped by petco which is just behind my house... i needed new kitty litter for my little friend. and by the time i walked out of there, he had some new mousies, a new ball on a track toy, kitty litter, and a new kitty box. i might be feeling a tad guilty for suddenly being gone all day, almost every day after having been home for so long with him.

i set up this new track toy dealio that has like 5 different configurations and i figured out the figure 8 one... he LOVES LOVES LOVES this toy!


he can play while lying down...


he can chase it around the track...


he watches the ball go around and bats it with his big ole bear paw...


and here he is just about to pounce on it!


he likes it and plays with it so much i move it between rooms just for him so that he can be where i am since he wants to play but he also has a need to be close by. when i forget to bring it to the bedroom at bedtime, he asks me not so politely for me to go get it. and like the good cat mom i am, i oblige. i may need to go get another one once we move. best 25 bucks i've spent in awhile and it does assuage some of the guilt i have for leaving him alone so much these days!
