Dennis Loves this Old Toy

Dennis likes this very old toy mouse that hangs on doorknobs and makes a noise.


Dennis says every cat plays with this mouse except for Eddy, who tries to break it occasionally, which is probably not the same thing as playing with it.

Dennis says no cat is too old to play with toys.

Dennis. You inspire me. Poor Mortimer, his toys are stationery. Definitely, they need some springiness to their steps. I think I've got some springy stuff around here somewhere...

My cats are all very lazy, only Rosie plays with mousies !

Zippy loves to play. Want to come over and play with her?

Toys keep you young, Dennis. But not when they're broken. Keep Eddy away from that mousie, whatever you do.

Sometimes the old toys are the very best toys.

Dear Dennis, I'm glad you play with your toy mouse.
I'm very glad that you're not like Charlie and Coco, who brought a dead mouse into the house recently. Usually I spot the mice and get rid of them long before they smell.
Unfortunately I missed this one and the weather has been quite warm over the last few days ...

God bless you, Dennis.

No cat is ever too old to play with his or her toys.

Elmo still cavorts like a kitten, especially after getting a nose-ful of cool spring or autumn air, or after stepping out into falling snow. It really brings the old guy to life.

He's sixteen but Elmo still loves to play, despite his rickety old arthritic bones.

Again, I say, god bless you, Dennis.
