Loving It to Bits

Kenggy has a favourite toy. It's an old battered cheap two-dollar hedgehog soft toy from Ikea.

She doesn't play like a normal cat does. Without both front paws, Kenggy cannot claw any make-believe 'prey' or chase after it.

She plays in her own unique way. Standing up kangaroo-style, Kenggy would toss the toy in the air and tries to catch it with her stubs. It is such a cute sight when she uses her best weapon, her teeth, to attack the 'prey' standing up looking like a giant obese squirrel.

Lying down, she does side rolls while holding on to the 'prey' biting and using her powerful hind legs to kick much like a crocodile thrashing in the water. 

The very battered hedgehog. It's loved to bits, literally.

    Kenggy must be so pleased! No front paws and still she has been able to kill a hedgehog -- and a Swedish Ikea hedgehog, no less!

    Much as we love them, we must acknowledge that our cats are ruthless killers. Do you think Kenggy would like a squeaky plush mouse? It would talk back to her as she attacked it with her kangaroo hind legs. :-) Let me know when we next meet for lunch, ya?

    Kenggy is a wonderful example of accepting her handicap and not letting it stop her from having a great life. I know I say this everytime I see her, but again I think she is so beautiful!!

    Awww, so sweet! I love watching Angel-Kitty play; aren't they just so cute? I tell you, there is nothing like a cat....

    Hurricane has a toy similar to that and it kinda looks as bad as him; my husband calls him 'Road-Kill' I think it is appropriately named!

    We are delighted to see that Kengy's handicap does not stop playtime. The hedgehog is obviously a good toy to practice fighting skills on.
