I tossed my girlfriend's Snuggie over the back of her chair. Apparently Oreo saw the sleeves hanging to the floor as a personal challenge, and she's been wrestling with the dangly bits for 15 minutes now. We've only had her for a couple of weeks, and this is the first time she's really seemed comfortable and playful; most of time she's loose in the apartment, she picks a corner to flop down in and doesn't really do a whole lot.
On a side note, I took her to the vet last week for a general health exam and a look at that lump on her shoulder, as well as to ask about getting her spayed. The vet aspirated the lump and took a sample, and she thinks it's a tumor. She ruled out an abscess since there were no bacteria in the sample she looked at, and she has an appointment to get it surgically removed this Thursday. After she recovers from that, we're going to get her spayed (the vet didn't want to put her through both surgeries at once).
On the upside, she's definitely gotten more accustomed to her new home. She's figured out her water bottle and has been eating veggies from our hands now...unfortunately, she's also gotten comfortable enough to poop on the carpet, within inches of the litterbox.

so far we've got her a dangly thing made of wood blocks hanging in her cage, a woven hay ball, and a little wood ball inside a wood cylinder that makes noise as it rolls. So far she seems to like the hay ball and the dangly thing. But I've never seen her have as much fun as she did with this snuggie.
