Feather fascination

Namiko really does love her sparkling feather toy. There are times when she gets really worked up and ends up pulling the wand out of my hand, carrying it away to her desired location.

Here she is guarding her treasure, frog-like legs retracted.


Motionless forward propulsion!


It's a good day to be a feline with her feather toy.


A very good day...


Go Go-CAT!!!

Sparkling feather

One way to get Namiko running into a room is to shake a sparkling feather toy. The combined noise of the mylar crackling and feathers swishing makes Namiko go nuts!

Enticing her with the toy


Getting ready...


And attack!


Her favorite brand is the GO-CAT Sparkling Tickler:

It's made in the U.S., so Namiko is doing her part in stimulating the economy!

White fuzzy ball

After another visit to the Vet, Namiko received her newest fuzzy ball toy. She was really scared and stressed out like previous hospital visits. I felt horrible during the whole trip and tried to comfort her as best I can. Namiko is such a scaredy cat..

Her new ball is white this time.


Namiko was reluctant to play with it at first, giving it barely a glance and a sniff.


But after settling down, she gave the new ball all of her attention. (It kindda blends in with her white fur ^^;;;)


Out came the nose push...


The mouth grab!


And some face rubs.


Ah, how quickly the Vet trip has faded into the past.


..until the next visit in two months for her vaccinations!
