If cat toys could talk, what would they sound like? I sometimes imagine them sounding a little bit like Joe Pesci from the movie Goodfellas. You can almost hear the Italian accent of a small, disgruntled man as you see a ragged old toy flying through the air.

I mean if the sole purpose of your existence was to be punched, kicked, bitten and thrown, you’d be a little on edge too, right? Hopefully the toy of this particular story doesn’t decide to seek out revenge. It could mean bad things for the cats …
