Strings and things

Gigi, like many cats, has always been fascinated with batting any strings, bathrobe ties, and ribbons that we dangle in front of her. She is usually easy to lure into 'play' mode. Lately, though, late at night, some time about 1 a.m. I hear her walking down the stairs and then standing in the hallway meowing loudly. In the morning I find a pile of scattered pieces of clothing -- all with strings of some kind (sweat pants, bikini tops, bras) -- that Gigi has dragged downstairs from my daughter's room to use as her playthings. She carries them down in her mouth and then meows for us to come play with her. Oh yes, 1 a.m. is a great time for me to jump out of bed to play with Gigi and the bras.
