My Toy Basket

Mom retrieved a basket from the depths of the closet and put quite a few of my toys in it so that it will be easier to vacuum.  I decided that was a good thing because I am  usually standing in it getting out many of my toys each day.

I got my allowance Sunday and now, I have 6 green papers in my piggy bank.  Mom gave me my allowance even though I wasn't a terribly good girl.  I was an O.K. girl.  An example: I played the mini blinds the night before last.  My performance was thus far unmatched by prior performances.  This last one was complete with an encore.  My brother bean is here as of last evening and stayed as he has an appointment to keep here in town--- and he caved and just left both window's blinds up.  The thing to do is get into his pj's elsewhere and then go into his bedroom so no one sees from outside.  I am a demanding girl cat.

Here is a picture of my toy basket.  XOXO  It's the very one Admiral used and is even the one she was in for her header photo on her blog.  Some of her furs are still in it.  She used to sleep in it but I made it my toy place.

Katie we know you love to play the blinds but maybe your Mom needs the odd nap during the night so she can earn your pocket money the next day.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Looks like you've got plenty of room fur more stuff in your basket, too. That's what we like about it. Well, that and it's an heirloom from the Admiral. Purrfect. xoxo

I have my human trained that as soon as I jump on the window sill in the morning, she opens the blinds for me. BTW, make sure your human cleans your toy basket regularly. TW didn't and my basket got overrun by moths, who feasted on my toys. The result being that TW had to throw everything in it out. I am now a kitty with few toys.

Either Gracie & Millie are very kind or they do not realize that they can play the mini-blinds. :-) Realistically, though, only one window ever provides good access to the mini-blinds. I'll bet that the Admiral gave your Mom the hint to use the basket for your toys.

So great that you gave your humans such a concert with the mini blinds. We like your toy basket and think it is great fun that you stand in it with your toys. We don't care for toys enough to do something like that, so you are clearly and extra special kitty (which we already knew!).

Laila and Angel Minchie said...

Oh, Katie, you are a little rascal, that is for sure!

Terri said...

We think Admiral is very happy you are using her basket :)

Easy on the concerts, Sweetie!

We love that you are using sweet Admiral's basket for your toys, Katie! That is so, so precious!

Beth said...

Good morning Miss Katie, that is a lovely idea your mom had, putting all of your toys in one basket, xx

My Mind's Eye said...

Ahhhhhh Katie how sweet that you are filling Admiral's basket up with your special toys and that you can get some of her sweet smells on your toys.
Hugs Madi and Mom

JC said...

Cat said...

We have the wide blinds and you would think they aren't as fragile as the minis but Casper has played with the blinds in the dining so much we need to buy new ones!!!!

Angel Ginger Jasper said...

You are a scamp but I know your mum wouldnt change you for anything.. Hugs GJ xx

The Furries of Whisppy said...

What a cheeky girl you are, Katie! Mommy used to put our toys in a basket too. But when we got the cat tree, she stuffed all the toys in the attached condo to encourage us to climb in.

It looks to me like that basket could use a few more toys in it!

Nellie said...

Do you think you need some extra toys? Our Shadow is too much of an "old man" to play anymore.:(

Brian's Home Blog said...

That is a very nice basket with a great history. Now you just need more toys to fill it up!

Hmmm, OUR toys are just dumped inna old shoe box an a bloo styrofoam thing. We want a NICER box! An we know JUST where a nice-lookin woven basket (like YOUR pretty one) is inna closet...

Alley Cats and Angels of North Carolina said...

Shhh...Katie Isabella, please don't let my kitties read that you get an allowance!

Katnip Lounge said...

We really want to see a video of you in action, Katie!

Willow said...

Hee an allowance even when you are only OK. Our Moms are the same even when on my not best behavior I still sometimes get treats just because I'm cute. That is a very treasured basket that you made into your toy basket.

Donna said...

LP said...

We think you may have been in a rock group in your before this adoption life Katie -you know , like the drummer in the band...
Which explains your need to play the blinds...
Maybe you should do your practicing during the day though when the hoomans are awake :)

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

That is a good idea to keep your toys in Admiral's basket. Our cat tree has a mancave in the bottom but we don't use it, so our toys live in there.

CATachresis said...

Agree with Trish. We need a video of the maestro in action !!!!

Mickey's Musings said...

Daisy said...

Katie, even O.K. girls deserve an allowance and I actually think you are an exceptional girl!

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Katie
you do have your humans very well trained. They must get a good report this year. And your bank is growing. That is great.

We bet your mini blind concert is beautiful to hear Katie! Admiral would be honored you're using her basket!

Mariodacat said...

Good job Katie girl - you let your brother bean sleep in peace even tho he couldn't dress with the lights on., he he Love your toy basket. I has one too, but it isn't as neat as yours.

The Island Cats said...

Katie, we would love to see your mini-blind concert! We bet it's quite a show!!

Sultan said...

My O loves to curl up in baskets that are too tiny for him.

Gigi said...

Your allowance is your Cod-given right, Katie. Your Mommy cant go around putting conditions on it, willy nilly. If she doesn't want you to play the blinds, then she should get curtains instead.

See how simple that is?

I am glad a little of the Admiral's furs linger in your basket. She chose well when she picked you for your Mom.

Old Kitty said...

Beautiful Katie Isabella!! You are a good girl queen kitty! Yay for getting your allowance! Awwww it's so sweet that you are sharing angel Admiral's basket and making it your own! Take care

Marg said...

Hi there Katie. That is a great toy basket. WE think you are doing a great job to keep on playing your music on the blinds. Sure glad though, that you still got your allowance.
Thanks so much for your nice comment about Grayson. He was a special kitty.

Cat and DOG Chat With Caren said...

I am sure The Admirable is beaming with pride that you are putting her basket to such good use!

BTW I think you are a PURRFECT girl!
