Short version: Shags has not stopped purring since I got home and opened the package with all his goodies. Not sure who's happier with them - him or me.

Long version: Got home and noticed a big envelope sitting on the table. I knew it was from this exchange so I made sure to open it with Shaggy. Before I could even get in there, he was sniffing at the envelope and nuzzling it, which could only mean one thing: cat nip. Uh oh.

So anyway I manage to get the parcel open and pull out the first tissue-wrapped gift. Shaggy tried to help. Let me just say he's not normally that gung ho about helping me open my mail, so he must have known this was for him.

He was extremely interested in the tissue paper. Wouldn't even pay attention to his new toys at first... until I got to the blue knitted ball. Jackpot! Instantly he starts chewing on it and trying to shred it. Pretty good chance it will be his new favorite toy, along with the little balls.

Which, by the way, are a huge step up from the ping pong balls we keep buying him. The wool balls have some serious bounce to them too! Definitely my favorite thing gifted to us.

I just have to remember to hide everything when my landlord's cat comes over to play. She will destroy everything, plus these are his special toys.

Thank you so, so much Willowgalactica!
