Sometimes I sneak over to the garden and stalk the green beans. Those long, skinny things are quite fun to play with when they’re dangling from their mother, but even more delightful to play with once I’ve caught one!
I grab the green bean prey with my teeth and carry it back to the deck. I like to flip it into the air and try to catch it with my paws. Whee! Every good huntress knows the rule – you must play with your prey before going in for the kill!
Sometimes I will give it a bitey, but truth be told, it’s not that tasty. I can play with it for hours, though, before I get bored.
What usually happens is that the other nosy inmates see me having so much fun with my prey that they try to run off with it. But I guard my kill! No one is going to make off with my green bean.
The Warden laughs and calls me her little cat burglar. Say what? Lucky for her, she’s a pretty good gardener and there are lots of green beans to stalk and kill.
There’s plenty to share with her favorite fur child. Besides, she says that green beans are a really cheap cat toy!
They sure are a super inexpensive cat toy! Nothing like Nature's Bounty!!!

Well we likes to eat green beans, but we have never played with them.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun and I will have to see why we don't have any of those!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun game Annabelle. We might have to try a bean or two. Two Two loves to throw food around. Have a terrific week end.

ReplyDeleteGreen beans, you'll have plenty of them too, never run out of toys!
Your other inmates can have their own, my cats eat green beans out of the can cold with me. I know it sounds weird,but Oh Well.
They are a cheap toy and lotsa fun......I've done the bitey too and while they aren't DELICIOUS, they sorta taste like nice green grass AND make a delightful crunchy noise! Happy Weekend....

That's a unique toy! Found toys are always the best, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteNot to mention they are very tasty too!!!

What a fun toy! Too bad it doesn't taste good.
ReplyDeleteI expect there are plenty more where that came from !! :)))
ReplyDeleteThis really made Mom smile. YEARS ago (30?) the humans had an Abyssinian cat who would play fetch with a fresh green bean. They would toss it for her and she would run and get it and bring it back. Just like playing fetch with a dog with a stick. The only other thing that sort of worked was a bunch of grapes minus the grapes. But really, it was a bean game mostly.
ReplyDeleteMy hoomin likes to nom green beans.
