Turning Lemons Into Lemonade

Due to the somewhat turbulant economy and Mommy spending her paychecks on bills instead of shiny new cat toys, the kittens are finding new and creative ways to get the most use out of the play things they already have. Submitted for your approval: Elvis and his Speed Ball 5000 Race Track and Scratcher.

To the untrained eye this looks like a simple scratch pad and toy chaser.
Elvis says, "Au contraire ma frere."

Not only does it provide endless hours of ball chasing play time..

Elvis also uses it as an outlet for his aggression replacement therapy...

And a relaxing place to soak up some rays...

A place for naps...

And last, but certainly not least, his favorite kitty past time, tail eating.

So here's to Elvis, adorable kitten, friend and now, economy crisis solution finder. Salut!
