What the heck is it with Erin?
Erin, my 3-month old tabby,



loves playing with wads of tinfoil, picking them up, "burying" them in my shoes, and then knocking around the shoes, meowing.

Is Erin simply crazy?
Or just being a goofy kitten?

1. Gosh, the kittens I have known have provided me
and their owners with HOURS of amusement, they are so strange, and unpredictable, and totally nuts! I wish I had one now. :-)

2. Cute Cat
I'd go with Door Number Two - goofy kitten.

4. Tinfoil was always my old cat's favoite toy
She could bat a small ball of it around forever and ever.

5. Teach her to play fetch
I had a roommate a few years ago with a cat who would play fetch with tinfoil balls. I'm not really sure how you train a cat though.

6. She's a Cat
An tin foil balls fly through the air nicely when they get batted around.

7. How Adorable!
Aww, she is so cute. I have a tabby, now about 6 and a half, who looks quite a bit like Erin - - and used to (and sometimes still does) the same stuff as far as hiding things in shoes. Milk rings, little cat bouncyballs, foil, whatever. Just totally normal kitten behavior. I see that Erin won the cute cats pool too, tied with "they're all beautiful." :) Have fun with her. I'm hoping to get 20 years out of Wrigley.

8. er, Folks,
Erin is a "HE"

But he is so darn cute and adorable -- regardless of his sex.

10. Whoops!

"He" and "him," that is - - sorry! Fooled by the name, and just when I thought I was getting really good at recognizing cats by gender, too. Doh! My bad. :)
