A Toy?

Our kitten {she is about seven months old now} was surprised to notice that my wife eats an orange ball toy as part of her breakfast

How cute!!
Thank you for your comment.
It was very cute - which is why she got away with it for awhile.
The orange started off on our dining room table next to my wife, and Annie is the one who moved it to the floor for awhile.

Can't see her face.
Thank you for commenting.
She is a 'tortie' - genetically apparently the same as a 'calico' but dark instead of light - and the upper part of her face is the darkest part of her. My experience in the three months she has lived with us so far is that she does not photograph "well" - but 'torties' are known for their "tortitude", and her antics are the most interesting part of her. In this case, you are right that her face shows poorly, but she was so interesting as she played with the orange even though her head was away from me and the light part of her body was toward me ..."

Maybe she will develop a taste for oranges. Our two little dogs will go in the yard and chew up the "peanuts in shell" I put out for the birds then spit out the shells and eat the peanuts.

We also have a "tortie" and photographing her is the opposite of the old "polar bear in a snow storm" photo problem. The other two cats have the manners to be a medium gray and a gray/black tabby. Much easier to photograph.

Thank you for your comments.
She is actually the second “tortie” living with us; the first one was only seven years old when she died, apparently of Lymphoma, but before she died I did learn the value of throwing light on my subject. The cat who died leaving the vacancy that this one filled was a gray and white cat who was a great photography subject. But “Velcro” died after 16-1/2 wonderful years with us; we did not expect to fill that vacancy so fast, but we could not resist the personality that is “Annie”. As I implied earlier, the front of “Annie” needs light more than her rear does, but it is her antics which are so endearing in any case.

Our Daughter's Tortie "Kyrie" got sick while Jasmine was home for winter break and when it was over she was blind. She has lived in the house 13 years and knows all the distances. She will follow her nose or the sound of your steps. My wife has all the food dishes and water bowls on little platforms so she can eat and drink easier. She decided that Mama makes an excellent heated bed when on the couch and does a lot of cuddling. and there is now an over sized padded, fuzzy dog bed on the floor for her to hop down on, or curl up for a nap. She is getting spoiled, even the other two cats have been seen to guide her or step aside for her to eat or drink out of "their" dishes.
