Before I get to the pictures, I want to say something about the stringie. It's not a 'string' exactly. I know some people worry about cats with string, and you should! Cat Chat had a thing on their facebook today about it in fact. But Leo's stringie and the stringies included in the Winnie's Wish Toy set are not string. They are thick braided cord. Leo chews on his constantly and has yet to make any dent in it. He could not swallow it if he tried.
His old blue stringie, a cord from a hoodie, is a different story, it has been bitten in half a few times and tied back together. He still can't swallow it whole, but I watch it carefully for any bits that might fall off. I think I'm going to get rid of it before long because it's in such bad shape.
Back to Leo's love of his stringie! Last night he was sitting on the bed, contemplating the stringies. I thought he might attack them. But instead, he reached out and put a paw on the one. Then, he fell asleep. While holding it! What a silly boy!
Oh hello my old pal, blue stringie. I haven't seen you in a while.
Nice to see you..zzzzzzzzzzz
In case you don't think he's really sleeping in the second one, I have three other pictures of this, but they are identical to this one, except maybe more blurry. Bad cell phone camera... So honestly, he is sleeping like that, nose down, paw on stringie!
Blue stringie had been missing for a while. We found him under some blankets by the closet. No idea how it got there.

Leo looks so cute sleeping with his paw all stretched out just to hold on to his stringie!
We suddenly need a "stringy". Hey TBT we want something>>>
Looks like a nice string, want to share? Thanks for the visit. skipper
Awww, a boy and his stringy. Sounds like a love story to us!
You are right...those stringies are ok!! The photo I posted meant like thinner yarn, dental floss and thinner string that cats love and can swallow. The strings you are showing are thicker and if they are being supervised it is totally different! xoxoxo
How cute! No one is going to take away his stringie, even when he sleeps!

glad leo loves his non-stringie stringie.
No-one is going to be able to "borrow" Leon's stringie while he keeps his paw there!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
How cute is he !!!
Leo, your stringie is the love of your life! :p

That's a good warning about string. My cats play with string, but I am always in attendance, and it goes into a drawer they can't get to when it's not in use. There's plenty of grabbing and biting of the string, but it I keep them from chewing it. So many things to watch out for with these little animals.
So cute!

We often sleep with a favorite toy just to keep the other kitties away from it. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at www.thecatonmyhead.com, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Lisbeth, Astrid and Calista Josette
awwwwww - we sent one stringie home with Bourbon since he LOVED it. We have another one at the house and it makes its way around all the time. No idea who moves it, but it gets lots of action!!
Those things are so terrific, but Dad hides ours! Have fun Leo!!!
It must be that stringies have magical sandman powers, he was out like a light!

Nice to have a company with!!
We were a teeny bit concerned about the stringie until we got ours--it is a fat red cord with sizable knots at each end. No chance of a kitty swallowing--though a dog might be able to.
Yes, Mommy, Best not to let Star see today's photo. Besides, it was just an innocent little cuddle for the weary nurse XOXOXO
Awwww.... a stringy-snuggler.
