Elf: We got this toy for Christmas this year.

See the tacky Tupperware lid taped to the top?

There is a reason for that.

Elf: See, I really wanted to get those balls out of there and bat them around on the floor.

So … I tried getting them out from outside

… then I decided I could get them out from inside.

I tried by paw for a while, then stuck my head in the hole to get a better view.

That did not end well, the toy got stuck on my head.

I FREAKED!

Luckily, Dad was nearby and was able to grab a hold of me and pull the toy off my head, whew!

Elf: Needless to say, I don’t play with that toy anymore.

Mom says that if cat toy manufacturers knew about my toy testing skills and how quickly I can find a flaw in a design, she could retire early.

Whatever, as long as my dinner is on time I’m good.

Cat Mom: They do make a better design than the one we bought, the little cat head on top is much cuter than a Tupperware lid!
