I used to always come home and wake up in the morning to find the rugs on the floor all out of place and twisted around. Because we have hardwood (Pergo) floors, the rugs would shift and slide around and sometimes get bunched and folded up when Flower would run around. She had always been a lively and playful cat. She would run around and chase things that weren't really there, and I was sorry that I didn't get more toys for her earlier. She never really seemed that interested in a lot of toys though. Certain things she liked; Ashley got her a laser pointer for Christmas which she would chase around and pounce on for quite awhile before tiring of the pointless game that she could not catch. Flower also liked to catch crickets which somehow got into the house often. She would typically play with them for a short time and them eat them; maybe she liked the crunch. One day she found a spot on the wall that she played at for what seemed like forever. She pawed at the wall and then ran away, and she did this repeatedly. I don't know what got into her that day in particular, but she was certainly in a playful mood. She always found something to pretend to chase after. It was typical that the rug in the hall would be folded over in the morning because she would run up and down the halls, and when she tried to stop on the rug, she would slide right into Ev's door. At night too, when I got home from class or work, the rugs in the front room and the hall would be in that state. So, I was always happy to know that she was an active, healthy kitty who enjoyed playtime.
