Sometimes they are acceptable substitutes.
More often than not, we reject the imitations.
We yearn for something better.
We just want "the real thing".
I discovered today that this is true of the animal kingdom as well.
This is a cat toy that can be seen on the floor of our house.
I always wondered how people come up with ideas for cat toys.
Do they just stick a bunch of feathers on something to make it alluring to felines?
This morning, as I was headed to the basement to change a load of laundry, I discovered another cat toy on the landing.
It was smaller than the one above. I didn't remember buying it.
I picked it up and came to the realization this was no "fake".
It was, indeed, the real thing.
I haven't found any evidence of a slaughter inside my house,
so I assume this toy was "made" outside and brought inside
as a toy.
Sorry Maddie.
Please keep these playthings outside.
