FurBabies by Nancy Beiman for May 15, 2024

Maybe because the goalie doesn’t have a stick.

Because the four-footed family members can’t reach under the refrigerator and it is more food watching Katie trying to retrieve the toys.

GOALLLL!!! Cue overexcited commentator!

Because it’s fun! There are toy graveyards all over the house.

That’s the way it was with my former dog who loved to play with his tennis ball. It was always under the sofa, chair or under the ottoman. I miss him so much.

It’s simple: the toys are under the fridge because there’s no room for any more of them under the couch.

At least once a week I gather all the cat toys I can find, and there are a lot of them

Vacuum and sweep the floors and then it’s fun time

After the trauma of the vacuum, a rousing round of flying toys perks them up

Our living room looks like a playhouse for cats, because it is

Innocent little darlings!

Ask the cat.

It’s a frequent exercise looking under everything for the cat’s favorite toy; a mostly hairless blob with only half a tail. ;-)

When my girls see me take the broom handle from the closet they get very excited because they know I’m going to sweep for toys under the fridge, stove and tv stand! Soooo many toys!

sqwee…..eee. Too funny! And I noticed the (rabbit? mouse?) head in panel one and thought, “why does that look like a (rabbit? Mouse?).” Duuuhhh…Keep ’em coming, Nancy!

A yardstick works wonders for retrieving toys out from under large furniture and appliances.

Just keep up that look of innocence. :)

Floof had some OOMPH behind that slap shot!

Love Floof’s innocent “Who me?” look in the last panel.

You’re trending, Floof. But then, you’re always trending with me.

Hey how about the Fur Babies playing soccer. Our mixed breed LAB loves to play soccer with one of his doggie toys. He is not bad at it!

That is so true!

My dog Reuben LOVES playing ball. But whenever we go to play, we can never find one. I was vacuuming and found about 15 balls deep under our couch. Reuben was a top scorer and I didn’t even know it!

I’m the one who digs the stuff out from under furniture for my daughter’s cat. I don’t even live there. LOL

Every night just before bedtime I play ‘mouse’ with my kitties. Mice, rattling balls and a kick snake are chased / batted everywhere. Their favorite ones are the 1st to get slap shot and lost under a piece of furniture.

The third panel is SOOOO accurate.

My son uses the fireplace utensils to dig under the stove and furniture almost daily and finds many of the favorites toys … plus some bonus accompanying dust.

I used to have a female black and white cat who looked like an adult version of Floof, and her favorite toy to play with was milk jug rings. You can guess where the rings ended up going. :-D

Once a toy disappears, or stops moving, to cats it ceases to exist.

A true mystery Kate.
