I haven't cleaned up the colored tissue in the living room because the cats are having way too much fun with it.
Frisky's been sitting in the pile and flicking around happily, Piper's sniffed and done some wiggle-butt dives, and even Nardo's having a ball with the stuff:
The tissues are so cool. The cats love to play with them, but I keep forgetting to just go ahead and buy them at the store for the heck of it.
They're also cheaper than real cat toys that they generally ignore. Go figure, isn't that always the way?
I'm going to use my other gift (that was packed in the tissues) to clean the grill. It's a really cool grill brush that works great in combination with the copper-bristle wand to finish the job.
I haven't yet used the cornholder, and I picked up a fish implement and some wood chips at Academy tonight.
I really need to hit Ikea to get the TV stand my wife wanted. I tried to call her earlier, but they all must be out on the boat or wandering around somewhere.

So, will tissues be added to Toy Takeaway Bingo?
Since they're so popular, they really oughta get the center square, since it's supposed to be free anyway.

Reminds me of Christmas when I was little. Mom always left the wrapping papers all over the living room floor for days just for the cats! Also any spare gift boxes of various sizes for them to sit in!

If you can get paper bags anywhere, that will make the cats' day complete.

You're lucky. Our cats would have peed on it the first hour it was down.
*sigh*

My cats have a thing for empty FedEx boxes (the color scheme, maybe? they ignore ordinary cardboard containers) and anything made of Polartec fleece. I'll have to try putting some colored tissue paper inside a FedEx box and see if that adds to their fun.
Love that picture of Nardo.

Nardo put a dead lizard on one sheet. Go figure.

Dead lizard on the tissue-toy? That must be the Nardo seal of approval.
