It seems like Marlow has been just moping around since we confined him to indoors. Nothing much could get him going. I was afraid that indoor living might not be in his best psychological interest. He still wants to go out. He plays some but not alot and not vigorously. Until today! I got the boys a "da bird" at a cat store in Nashville, TN on Wednesday. I knew about the toy from this web site but had never been able to find one locally. I played with the rescued kittens in the store with a "da bird". They were ok with it but they liked everything. I got it out this morning and Marlow and Sasha went nuts. I never saw Marlow move and jump like that. Sasha was even more animated. I had to shut it down before they both got sore and needed massages.
Thing is, I almost didn't buy it. The one I played with in the store had one feather missing. It was slow and lifeless. When I first waved a new one in front of my boys I knew it was special. The fluttering drove them to excitement not seen before. I'm getting every cat I know one for Christmas.
Also, I have been allowed to pet Marlow a little more. He still goes through periods during the day when I cannot even approach him. But I saw hope this morning. Hoping to brush him by February.
