Sunday with Snafu - The Daily Oak Leaf

Nearly every day that Snafu goes outside, weather permitting, he returns with an oak leaf.




He plays with it on the bed if no one is napping,



or in the kitchen where the floor is slick and toys slide easily.




We let Snafu play with the oak leaf until it’s pretty mangled and toss it out the next morning, knowing he’ll just bring in a fresh one.



One day he brought in the mother of all oak leaves.





He was so protective of it, leaping from floor to counter tops, he never felt safe enough to play with it.


Funny boy.


Cat of Nine Tales is going on a Thanksgiving vacation from blogging. We’ll try to get in some visiting, but we won’t have any new posts until after Turkey Day. We highly recommend you take this opportunity to check out our first blog post here, or maybe wander through our archive or check out the introductory post of your favorite Cat of Nine Tales kitty by clicking on their picture over on the right. Comments on old posts are still welcome.

We are so very thankful for all the new friends and furends we have made in the short time we’ve been part of the Cat Blogosphere.
Happy Thanksgiving all!

  3. That Snafu is a funny boy, indeed! He just can't "leaf" it alone, can he? It's amazing how focussed he is on the leaf. Actually, Dante brings in leaves, too, and bats them around. They're not in as good shape as the ones that Snafu picks up. Usually, their mostly dried up.

    I wonder how long Snafu takes to select just the right one every day. That certainly was a beautiful big one you call the "mother of all leaves".

    Maybe Snafu thinks leaves are his prey or something.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all of you furry ones, and not-so-furry ones! See you later.

  6. Snafu is a funny boy! We love the photos almost as much as he loves his oak leaves. This must be his favorite time of year!

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

  7. Snafu has a great idea. He has endless toys outside waiting to be brought inside. The toy does not cost the mom anything.
    Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!

  10. So, he is very much the fall type. Smart too, never forgetting to bring some of the outside fun inside.
    Have lots of fun on Thanksgiving vacation.

  12. Snafu, you ARE a funny fellow with your oak leaf! We have plenty more here if you run out. Unfortunately, if I pay any attention to a dry oak leaf, it is to crunch some of it and eat it. And then up again it comes!

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

  25. That is awesome! My previous kitty, Q, never killed a bird or a mouse, but scared me to death once by running out and across the street to get a leaf. He proudly brought it back and gave it to me. That was my boy, the leaf killer!

    Thank you for visiting our blog, have a great Thanksgiving!

  26. I love it... "the mother of all leaves!!!"
    Very funny post. Katie has a love-fear thing with leaves. Loves watching and chasing them while they are blowing...as long as there is glass between her and the leaves. But if a leaf blows inside with the opening of a door, she scrams!

    Happy Thanksgiving Lisa. Happiness to you, your family and your nine tails.

    mew,
    Glogirly (and Katie)

  33. We love leaves too, but mewmie says we make them into mulch--since we munch on them then throw them up...

  34. Hope you're back soon. Paddy really missed the friday night fight.
    She wanted to organize one herself, but Dushi was not in the mood.
    Ended up in Paddy attack on laplying Dushi. Dushi drop and climbing back. Followed again by Paddy attack and another Dushi drop. And on and on.
