In an attempt to help Amy (the mop dog) and Hazel (the new kitten) figure out how to play together, I tied together two cat toys, a dog toy, and a shoelace. They both love the toy, but are basically bewildered by each other.
The shoelace really swoops and snakes quite beautifully when I wave the wand that the whole thing is attached to. It worked out so well that even Theresa (the 16-year-old cat) was playing with it.
Amy just doesn’t understand why Hazel has to get so sharp and pointy when playing, and Hazel doesn’t understand why Amy is a dog.
