Thankful Thursday
Guess what?! Daddy found my favorite toy tucked away in the garage.
I thought it was lost forever, but now it's like we've never been apart. I'm very busy and VERY thankful today!

It was really the sweetest thing ever. Fin was napping on my lap when Daddy, er, my husband came in saying he had found her old toy in the garage. When she turned to look - it was like she turned back into a kitten right in front of our eyes. Her whole face lit up and she jumped off my lap and raced across the room to get at it.
I bought the toy when she first came to live with us because it matched the one that we played with at the shelter together. I wanted to give her something that would remind her of her feline family, and make her feel like this was her new home. She loved it and would leap in the air in grand arcs and flips.
I guess at some point it got put outside and forgotten - by us.
Now each time I swing it around, it's like I have baby Fin back. I'm careful not to get her too worked up - she's a senior kitizen now. She even naps on the stick - I guess she worries it will leave again which makes me a little sad. I'm so sorry Fin for losing your toy, and not realizing how much it meant to you. I promise to keep it safe and swing it for you often.

Awwwwwww! That is so sweet. I did the same thing to my mom a few months ago when she pulled out the "fev-ver on a stick" that I've had since a kitten. It was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that you still like to play like a kitten.
That's awesome, Fin! I love it when they clean under the sofa and find old toys!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your playtime!
That is such good news. We're glad your Mom has baby Fin back when you play with your toy,it looks like fun.
ReplyDeletePace yourself Fin!
ReplyDeleteAll's forgiven once a favorite toy reappears! :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! We're so glad you were reunited with your long lost toy.
ReplyDeleteOur wand toys are kept in the closet and we get to play but they get put back inside. If we wrestle with it on the floor it wraps around us. Pretty scarey cuz some kitties get choked with the string.
ReplyDeleteBe safe with string toys.
Have fun with the toy!
I know how you feel Fin. When my favourite oldest mouse got lost, I was devastated. Ages later when it got found again, I was so happy!
