Contestant #5





Sasha

Hi all. Sasha here. I would say this was my most taxing moment recently. Mommy took us out to potty, and she had already gone down the steps with Charlie when I smelled something very yummy coming from the trash bin on the deck. Of course, you knows, I had to investigate anything with that good of a smell. I went sniffing over and found the best box licking ever. Grandpa had left a doughnut box out there just for me to lick the leftover frosting or so I thought. I went to town licking and licking every inch of the box. I was in my own little doggy world of yummy sugary sweetness. I didn't hear Mommy calling me. I didn't hear Mommy come up the steps. I didn't hear the camera chime. I didn't hear anything inside that yummy doughnut box. Then, you can imaging the shock I got when I came out and mommy was there. I quickly tried to cover up the box and hide the evidence, but it was too late. Mommy got the whole incriminating box licking on video.

Teddy & Snowball play with their new toy from Gail Clements on Vimeo.




Snowball and Teddy play ball - again! from Gail Clements on Vimeo.

Teddy & Snowball

This is a video of two of my cats, Teddy (the grey cat) teaching Snowball (the black one) to play with a new toy about a year ago. Snowball (she has a white round spot on her chest and stomach) was a feral.

She showed up in our garden and we fed her for 3-4 months before catching her in a trap to get her neutered.

Shortly after she was neutered, on a nasty rainy day, I put her bowl of food inside the door of our sunroom so that she had to come inside to get it.

After a few days I started to shut the door behind her which at first freaked her out. After a while she got used to it until another rainy day, I just kept her inside and the rest is history - she has been in ever since and is now the happy cat.

It is funny, Teddy has never played with it since and our other two cats don't play with it, but it has become Snowball's favorite toy.
