i mentioned earlier that one of my favorite things that percy does is sit by the window to wait for me to get home from work. one of my other favorite percy-isms is a newer habit that he's gotten into. it started about a month ago, and we are stumped as to why...but for some reason he has become obsessed with this cat toy that sat virtually untouched for the past six months. it's this plastic stick with an elastic string attached to it. at the end of the elastic there were three pom poms (i say "were" because two of the pom poms have proven they are unable to withstand the jaws of percy).
we don't know where it started, but one day we realized that he was carrying one of the balls in his mouth and dragging the whole thing all over the house. we would be sitting on the couch watching tv, and he would jump into one of our laps and drop the ball, meow, then beg with his eyes for us to play with him. we usually complied.
about two weeks ago, i was sleeping and i heard a clanking noise. shortly after that, percy jumped up onto the bed and meowed. i sat up in bed and realized that he had dragged the toy all the way up to the bedroom. i went back to sleep, only to be awakened a few minutes later by percy jumping on my legs and meowing, begging me to play with him. i had to pick him up and carry him to the basement (hey, i have to get sleep somehow). it kind of became his routine to carry the stick up to our bedroom, so eventually we started putting the stick in a drawer for the night, and that has seemed to help.
it is pretty cute to hear the stick clanking on the stairs as he runs up with that toy dragging behind him.
here are a few pictures of the little guy posing with his new favorite toy:
