New Toy

Sometimes you just can't resist. You've got some money burning a hole in your pocket, and there's a new toy you just KNOW you can't live without.

So you succumb to your desires, and you place the order.

And then you sit.

And you wait.

And you sit and wait some more.

And you watch the online tracking.

And it finally arrives!

You bring the box inside off the front doorstep, making sure you don't rattle it around or shake it too much - you just don't know how fragile this new toy will be.

And you carefully open it up, making sure not to cut too deep when breaking the tape - you don't want to damage what's inside the box.

Then you remove all the packing materials - and there it is...your new toy!


You start to loosen it from the box, making sure you don't break anything before you've read the manual.


Check to make sure all the parts are there! Count every last little bit...


And then you take it out and play with it! You looooove your new toy! It's so much fun! But you're also careful not to break it. You know you paid a fortune for this new thing you couldn't live without, and you want to be very careful with it.

Heck, you even follow the instructions and put the protective cover back on it after you're done playing with it....just to be safe.


LOL Ok, I have to be honest... Tucker probably was only SORT of entertained by Brett putting this plastic bag over him. And these pictures were taken separately from me catching him napping in the box recently. You know kitties and their love of cardboard boxes!

But really - you have to admit - he IS cute in the bag! (WARNING! THIS IS A CHOKING HAZARD!!!!) ;-)

So, did anything fun come in that box originally or are you just teasing us with adorable cat photos?

I love the foot shot.

This is just a darling post! The first pic got me laughing so hard I had to clean coffee off the keyboard. Good times... ;-D

LOL Thanks guys! That was just a box that something else had come in...but you know cats and boxes. Tucker ESPECIALLY loves sleeping in boxes, even if there's stuff in them. I just don't think he'd found a box with such a PERFECT fit before. ;-)

Kitty feet are always fun!

And Kris - sorry about your keyboard! ;-)

What a cute cat! He seems very easy going too.

Ha! You haven't met him at 4am!! Unless he has his nightly dose of amitriptyline at bedtime, an anti-anxiety med to calm him down, he starts getting up VERY early and knocking things off shelves, counters, tables, etc, clawing at the side of the bed, etc. Thankfully we only have to drug him during the months with more daylight - so most of spring, summer and early fall.

Thanks for the great laugh. Your kitty is adorable.
