A Car-E short film

June 8, 2021Car-E, cats, funsusanmanzke

I found a turkey feather on the lane and brought it home.

Car-E found it and claimed it for himself. When he tired playing with it on the floor, I attached it to his homemade hanging toy.

This short cat video shows how much Car-E appreciated his ‘new’ toy.

All 19 seconds of cat fun.

Furry entertainment Car-E style

Car-E is always interested when I’m running water. This time he checked the water out as it filled the new fish tank.

I’m so happy he lives with me. Car-E entertains me daily.

This could be the invention of a new cat bubbler.

Car-E is very interested in my new Beta, but I don’t think the fondness is shared by Blue Fish.

Caught another very short video of Car-E getting a closer look at Blue Fish. Enjoy.

Car-E makes me laugh.

Low-cost family fun

This column from May 1988 tells how the Manzkes had fun with bubbles–big bubbles and little bubbles.

If you want to make a big bubble take an old T-shirt, cut a circle from around the lower half of shirt about an inch wide. Tie two dowels to material with 1/3 of the material between dowels and the rest hanging down. Dip material into soap mixture, pick up and slowly pull dowels apart. This should give you a big bubble.

Bubble recipe: 6 to 1 — 6 cups of water to 1 cup of Dove dish soap. I never added corn syrup or glycerin. Do not mix vigorously because you’ll foam the mixture which isn’t good for making bubbles.
