Each year around Christmas my girlfriend buys a few knit mice for her cat 'Wink'which are hand-made(knit) by one of the ladies who frequent the church Linda attends. Wink goes truly bonkers over these mice in no small part because they are stuffed with Canada's finest. He spends many afternoons with a rodent inspired buzz....

So, on behalf of Wink, we sent a stuffed mouse(Christmas present) to his girlfriend 'Suzie' who lives with my aunt in Washington state...not sure if this long distance relationship thing works with cats or not but...I got a call from my aunt and she said Suzie was all excited and tearing around, pulling at and playing with the bow on her wrapped present anxiously waiting to see what was inside. When my aunt opened it, Suzie grabbed the mouse and spent most of the rest of the day in glassy daze gnawing and playing with her knit rodent friend...."What's in it?" my aunt asked, "Does it have Catnip in it? she normally hates Catnip"....

Crazy cats!!
