Aaaw poor Linley, no doubt he thinks that Cameo has some special powers to make that ball move so fast and far....Im sure hes thinking, why oh why wasnt I afforded those same special powers...sigh...

we just got a Turbo track for Sophers and its got a slight defect to it, the parts dont clip together very well without creating a ridge so when the ball hits that ridge, it just stops.  Sophers was real excited about the toy until the ball kept getting stuck and now she walks by and glares at it...I can just see her saying...way to go mom, buy me a dud toy... hmmmph   ::)

Poor Sophers-cant play with this new toy. Ask meowmie to contact the company and ask for replacement parts or a new one for you.....Cameo, Linley and Kalahari shouldn't have all the fun now!  ;)
May your troubles be less,
Your blessings be more,
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door

We took the ball out of the track and she loves the ball....Sophers said she doesnt need no stinkin track to push the ball around with....."I'll do it myself" she says, LOL    ;D

And to think Sophers that we all thought ping pong balls were for table tennis only!  ;D

Linley finally figured out how to work this toy!  Only took him 2 weeks, as opposed to Cameo's 2 seconds. ::)  He still isn't as good at it as Cameo, though, and hasn't completely grasped the idea that you have to bat the balls through the holes, not by batting the blue plastic.

DH, no doubt in male solidarity, says it's just because Linley's paws are bigger that he has more trouble.   :P

LOL.  Good boy Linley!  Of course, we're going to need more pictures of Linley in action.   :P :P
Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Aaaw too cute catbird!  Dear boy Linley, he just had to take his time and ponder the whole toy situation....he must be one of those analytical thinkers, you know think about it all very carefully before he commits.... ;D    :-* :-* :-* to our Linley!

 ;D We must give Linley credit for seeing that there was fun to be had, persisting and sticking with it until he did finally get it. Hope he has lots of fun. ;D

OK, you asked for it!

Yes, the "thinker" (?!? LOL Sandi!) has finally figured it out.


"I've studied and practiced hard...visualized the perfect serve..."


"I'm at the peak of my game...


"It will never get by me now!"



"Ahh, Linley, the ball is in your court..."

"Shut up, Cameo, I have to pose for my fans!  (Is this my better side?)"

To the casual observer, it may appear that Linley is laying down on the job, but in reality, he has trained like a true athlete.  Note the sturdy legs firmly braced against the wall, ready to spring into action.   :P :P

But Cameo doesn't buy that for a minute.    ;D ;D

Linley is a dashing figure of a catboy, even though he's not exactly aceing this game...

I bet he's a hoot to watch going at it.  Who needs television with Linley around? ;D

I have to say that while Linley is adorable,Cameo's look says it all ! She obviously thinks he is totally brainless! ;D
