Recently in my inadvertent adventures as a cat dad–I grew up and had dogs most of my life; never a cat–I was doing something a lot of pet owners do while roaming a grocery store. I was coerced by a pet display to buy a new tow for Milla.

What was presented to me royally pissed me off. Why?

Because almost all of the toys presented for cats had copious amounts of unnecessary plastics in their construction. Why?

Well, since I was already spending money, the last thing I was going to do was spend money in even a more shitty way than I was already doing.

So I bought a dog toy made of fabric shreds for her. Yes, I probably could have made one myself from old t-shirts I no longer wear. But did I tell you that I was coerced by the display and I realize that I’m spending money in a shitty manner?

The result.

She drags that toy all around the apartment even though it is a bit big for her to carry in her mouth. However, I often come home to find it in an interesting, unsuspected (by me)  place.

So win for me, the environment (somewhat), and Milla.
