Caturday with the Notorious BKL and Friends: Who Needs Toys edition

Welcome back to Caturday with the Notorious BKL and Friends: Who Needs Toys edition. I know the above is a bit blurry, but you get the idea: I saw a 2-pack of cat toys at ALDI this week, and at just $2.49 I thought I’d pick them up for the three bad kitties.

To be clear, two out of the three cats definitely appreciated the gesture. (Jeremy doesn’t often play, so just sniffed them and walked away…) But, with both of these toys in shreds a mere two hours later, I’m not sure that these were really the best investment.

Nor am I sure why I even bother to buy cat toys to begin with. I mean… These three clearly receive just as much enjoyment from common household items.

We could really learn a lot from the three bad kitties about the simple pleasures in life, about making the most of what we already have, and about making every moment count.

I mean: Does this laundry hamper spark joy? Heck yeah it does. (Plus, it’s also super handy for hauling laundry around when the cats aren’t using it…)

And you can’t beat an old couch that now sports a permanent divot in the shape of a lazy cat…

How’s your Caturday going?
