Katy S to Katy's feed, Cat Lovers, Blue Cats

Plum's about to lose this toy. It has become the grungiest, nastiest catnip mouse ever - and she keeps bringing it to me for playtime. She has six others just like it, but this is the one she keeps bringing to me. How do I know it's this one? The tail is completely shredded. Into the trash it goes!

Then she should stop waterboarding it. It wears down the fibers. - Katy S

lol, does she dump it in the water bowl? - Sir Shuping is just sir

She does. Sometimes she just dunks it, but other times she leaves it in there to soak. - Katy S

I am in love with pic 2 :D - ωαřмaiden ☆TeamOtto☆

That reminds me...I have to restuff a certain catnip mouse tonight... - Hedgehog

terror does that too...of course he has a habit of taking like the tinfoily type balls and dumping them in there so the water has to be dumped out - Sir Shuping is just sir

That's so funny because Layla had one like that when I first got her. I went out and bought three more of them but once the first one died (as in she licked it so much the seams opened), she wanted nothing to do with the others. - Lis

Plum plays with the others, as does Sophie, but this one has been her favorite lately. They come in a 2-pack (the other mouse is round) for 88 cents, so I don't mind buying new ones or having a lot of them. This isn't the first catnip mouse to meet the trash can. - Katy S

And I do have to dump out the water whenever she does this b/c Sophie won't drink it once the dirty mouse has been dumped in it. - Katy S

I love how finicky they are. At the advanced age (ha) of 7, my cats aren't that in to their little toys anymore. So now I have loads of mice and balls around the house which are OCCASIONALLY batted around half-heartedly. - Lis

They really are finicky. Out of those 2-packs, Plum will only play fetch with the long ones like this one. Thankfully, Sophie likes to bat the round ones around. - Katy S

OMG - she just brought it to me. She must have found it in the trash last night. - Katy S

So it seems. I might have to wait until I take the trash out to dispose of it. - Katy S

A little over a week ago I evacuated the lake cottage so that out of town relatives could have it during their visit. Along with the food they left were two cans of tuna. I'm not a fan, but I think this would be a good night to give the kittehs a little treat.

My advice? Hire for customer service skills, patience, friendliness and an interest in learning more about tech rather than hiring tech gurus. - marthalib

Martha is wise. Definitely look for customer service and communication (esp. oral but written is important too) skills. Put them through a role-play in the interview process where you play a clueless n00b and they have to help you. - Catherine Pellegrino

Agreed re: customer service skills. One question I received when I interviewed for a student lib asst position that stuck with me was, essentially, "If you're here by yourself and don't know exactly how to solve a student's problem, what will be your approach?" - Rachel Walden

Ask them to describe a how-to task in detail. It can be really simple but it can show if they are aware of taking steps and adjusting to their audience's understanding. - Hedgehog
