Belle is particularly taken to one of her fur mice. She has several that are exactly the same brand, design, etc than this one, but her blue one is by far her favourite. She's never really been all that picky about her toys before, but for the last couple weeks, this blue mouse has been the only mouse she'll play fetch with. If you throw another mouse, she'll just sniff it and walk away.
Well, blue mouse has been dropped in the water fountain a few too many times. In the past, their heads have popped off, but this one is fighting for his life. All his insides have come out and he's basically just a hollow hide. He really should be thrown away, but I know Belle would be looking everywhere for him. I may try to put a couple of stiches in him to see if he can hang on for another week or two....maybe Belle will be over her little crush by then and have moved on to some other poor, unsuspecting mouse (inevitably, they go for a swim, which usually results in eventual decapitation).
It's funny how they choose the toy in the worst possible condition to love the most. Delilah's favourite toy is a little blue foam ball that used to have tinsel pieces sticking out from it. We have a pink one that still has the tinsel on it, but she's not interested in it.
Silly kitties....I should just destroy new toys before I give them to them...they'll probably be more interested.
