Tortie's Toy for Tuesday
At nearly 16 years of age, I pride myself on being a dignified lady cat. I've semi-retired from hunting, though I could not resist that hapless vole the other day. While I do like catnip very much, I am not prone to spontaneous bouts of silliness without it. Thus, it was very out of character for me to be caught by the camera playing by myself. I just could not resist those dangly strings hanging from my kitchen chair.
Mom was very quick with the camera, but I had to walk away once she started to gush over my playful kitten ways. At least Jake didn't witness this; I never lower my guard by playing when he is around.
Note the Drinkwell on the floor under the chair in the corner. That was a gift from Santa Claus last Christmas. Mom set it up for me, but I was NOT interested in drinking from it. She eventually put it back in the box because I would not use it. I prefer drinking straight from the bathroom sink where Mom has to give me individual attention by turning on the water. That Drinkwell may continue to sit there because Mom is notorious for procrastinating and letting things pile up. If there's a cat out there who might enjoy a Drinkwell, send us an email at jakeandbathsheba AT yahoo DOT com.
Oh, and BTW, both Jake and I like to drink out of those wide "birdbaths" outside. Sure, birds do get them dirty by splashing around in them, but Dad is scrupulous about keeping them cleaned out. I prefer to drink out of the birdbath that is several feet off the ground where I have to balance on the edge, but Mom has not had her camera ready when I've done that lately.
We're honored that DaisyMae and Tara tagged us for the latest meme, but we have to think a bit about our responses to those questions.

Uh, uh - caught on film! That can be embarrassing! I edit all pictures of myself before they can be put on the computer permanently!
I am sorry you couldn´t take this dare because of some neglectent human staff who doesn´t provide you with photoshop BUT: the next dare can be done without such things, you only need a camera and as we know, your Mom has one! I will let you know!

Gee Bathsheba, I hope I'm still playing when I'm 16!~Zippy
Look at you go Bathsheba! You look playful as a kitten. I like seeing you playing.
We have a Drinkwell fountain, too. Pixie loves it, and I use it sometimes, but I am like you and prefer drinking from the bathroom faucet. Or my little Dixie cup next to the sink for when the faucet is off.
We like to see you playing!
We like drinking form the sink and little cuppies around the house... Prinnie likes to knock them over sometimes

I do not know what a drinkwell is, but I think that I will have to look it up to see. I think it is funny that you like to drink out of birdBATHS, BATHsheba. Hehe.
