Today, Care-E really was playing with a potato, a tiny one.
I think he likes it because, like the avocado pit, it wabbles and goes different directions.
I included two videos because they are so short.
Car-E is too fast for me.
But he sure was having fun.

My kitten will play with anything and I do mean anything.
There are a few purchased cat toys around but Car-E looses interest in them quickly. This new toy he found had him very active for at least 30 minutes.
He was playing with a potato. I had washed my harvested small spuds and I was sure he had one of them.
He scooted after it all over the kitchen, down the basement stairs, and into the laundry room.
I was afraid he’d leave it forgotten in a corner or under a piece of furniture. Just what I needed a lost potato, rotting away and stinking up the place.
Even after I picked it up, I was sure it was a potato, and then I looked closer.
His toy is an avocado pit! Found by him on the counter where I placed it before trying to sprout it.
Car-E had a lot of fun chasing this pit. I never saw him so excited about the toy.
I’ll let him play as long as he likes with this pit. At least if it gets lost, it won’t be rotting away like a potato.
And since I eat avocados, other pit-toys will follow.

Blue Fish, my beta, has caught the eye of Car-E.
Good thing that the fish knows to go to the bottom of the bowl whenever the kitten comes to play.
It’s also a good thing that when Car-E puts his paw in the water he reacts, quickly pulling back.
I’m pretty sure Blue Fish is safe, but I will keep an eye on Car-E when he gets close.

Sometimes I have to be Car-E-free. If I’m going in and out the door, I don’t want him slipping past me.
He’s so fast! He would be out in the yard before I could stop him. To keep him safe I have to think ahead of my growing kitten.
Sometimes I lock Car-E in a room he can not escape while I’m busy. That’s usually the bathroom.
For a short time without Car-E under my feet I give him a treat in his toy.
Food is very important to this kitten. He’ll do anything for a kitty treat.
When I put a few pieces in his toy, he works hard to get at the kibble.
Car-E is an adventerous cat.
He’s is often underfoot. This is one way to distract him from getting in the way. Too bad my groceries didn’t get put away because I was too busy watching Car-E.
The clown of the house makes me laugh.

Car-E the kitten is interested in the fish in the fish tank.
He came close when I had the hood back to feed them today so I let him have a good look.
I thought he might take a dive in. You know the old phrase. Curiosity killed the cat.
Well, Car-E was curious, but he only touched the water. It still was interesting watching him investigate the tank.
