Sometimes Yoda looks like this:

I have tried in vain to get a picture of his Evil Twin, who puts his ears back and bites and scratches and races around the house attacking things. But here is a "results" picture:

This looked a lot worse on Saturday, so I went out and bought him $44 worth of toys. Actually, about $38 worth of toys plus some clippers to trim those razor-sharp claws just a little. One of the toys, four fuzzy little balls of different colors, was a big hit but turned his paws and chin bright pink. Unfotunately, I didn't think to take a picture, and, anyway, I'm not sure I'd want to humiliate him publicly like that. But pink was very popular with him.

This is essentially a feather boa attached to a wand. The moment I walked in the house and opened the bag Yoda was in my lap trying to get to the feathers. He chases it, he leaps for it, he bites it, he claws it ... and it is getting smaller by the moment.

When this is completely gone, I will go to the craft store and buy a long feather boa for him. It makes a mess, but it's easy to clean, and at this stage of his development, that's the best I can hope for.

Spoil a cat? Moi? Don't be silly!
