Goodbye old, hello new

Side-by-side comparison of a kittified toy and a brand new toy

Y'know that PetSmart TV ad with the dachshund and Bobo? Well, this is kitty's Bobo. She takes the orange mitt with her everywhere, on every escapade, even into her transmogrifier (the bread machine box). Sometimes she stuffs it in my purse. She goes to sleep with it. Her favorite random activity is clutching it in her mouth, sprinting down the hallway and leaping spread-eagle into a pile of bags in the kitchen.

And like Bobo, there comes a time when enough is enough. Christmas isn't soon enough to replace it, at the rate she's going. So today, we ceremoniously tossed it into the trashbin, when she wasn't looking. We'll wait a few days before bringing out the new one - she'll be so excited she won't know the difference.
