CASEY AND RUSTY - BIRD WATCHING - RUSTY DECIDED TO LEAVE AS I SNAPPED THE PHOTO

The cats have many toys they love to play with, but the most fun seems to be derived from everyday things like dangling carpet strings or the opening strips torn from a brand new bag of cat food. One thing they all love is a cardboard box. Yesterday I gave them a big box to play in and they reacted as if I'd given them something made of catnip. They took turns jumping in and out of the box, sometimes landing on the cats who hadn't yet exited. There was no squabbling, just pure fun for them and entertainment for me. I took a few photos but wasn't able to catch all of them at play. They don't like the little sound my camera makes when I open the lens and they often run in the other direction when they hear it, but it's enough to know they had a good time with their big box. It warms my heart to know the cats are adjusting so well to their new environment and I'm actually making some progress with the feral kitties, especially Timmy. He now jumps onto one of the tables, lies in a kitty bed, and allows me to pet him for extended periods of time. That's new to him and to me, and I love it. He lets me know when he's had enough and I always honor his decision to jump down and move onto other things. All is good in Cat Land.
