One of Mittens's favorite toys is a chunk of ice. Now that he's feeling more himself, he chases and plays with it very energetically.

A fluffy white cat sits in a window sill with purplish brown plum tree foliage in the background. Sunlight shines through a gap in the leaves like a golden spotlight. The cat looks up to the right, the better to display her array of curved whiskers and voluminous coat.

A quotation from Agnes Repplier

She has frolicsome moods, in which a thimble, a shoe-buttoner, a scrap of paper, or a piece of string will drive her wild with delight; she has moods of inflexible gravity, in which she stares solemnly at her favorite ball rolling over the carpet, without stirring one lazy limb to reach it. “Have I seen this foolish toy before?” she seems to be asking herself with musing austerity; “and can it be possible that there are cats who run after such frivolous trifles? Vanity of vanities, and all is vanity, save only to lie upon the hearth-rug, and be warm, and think grave thoughts to feed a serious soul.”

Agnes Repplier (1855-1950) American writer
“Agrippina,” Essays in Idleness (1893)

A quotation from Bill Watterson

   CALVIN: It offends the human ego that nature is indifferent to us. Nature doesn’t care if people live or die. It refuses to be tamed. It does whatever it wants and acts like people don’t matter. It won’t confirm our right to be here. That drives people crazy. We can’t stand being ignored. It’s insulting and … hey!
   HOBBES: YAWWNN. [wanders off]
   CALVIN: I think that’s also why some people don’t like cats.

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1994-03-04)

Calvin and Hobbes (1994-03-04)

A quotation from Charles Bukowski

Having many cats is good. If you feel bad, you look at the cats and you feel better, because they know that everything is just the way it is. You don’t have to be nervous about anything. And they know it. They are saviors. The more cats you have, the longer you will live. If you have a hundred cats, you will live ten times longer than if you have ten. One day, this will be known and people will have thousands of cats. It’s truly ridiculous.

Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) German-American author, poet
Interview (1987-09) by Sean Penn, “Tough Guys Write Poetry,” Interview Magazine, Vol. 17, No. 19

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat in a cardboard scratcher box. She's belly up, with her spine twisted so all four paws are pointing toward me in a way that looks impossible. Her mouth is open mid-meow and she looks aggressively chipper. Like a presenter on a TV show for small children.

Stardust the dilute tortoiseshell cat flops upside down on the carpet. She's doing "jazz hands" with her front feet, her back feet are at an angle that should be impossible, and she's opening her mouth for a yawn. Her tongue is pressing against her bottom jaw such that it makes a W shape.
