did i forget to mention the best part? YES! i did. imagine a run for the biffy at 1-2AM and you hear this high pitched screaming...
you realize it's is one of the sound chips in a birdie toy and it's is stuck. of course none of the 7 kitties could dig it out of the toy box for you, so you end up dumping it on the floor and sorting
through all of the toys to try and find the offending toy.
you think you hear some of the other sound toys calling out to it...
or are they covering for it?!? GRRRRR, finally you find it and slam it into the floor and the sounds stop... all 7 kitties look relieved, but nervous. ("don't mess with mama the middle of the night! too scary"
) back to bed... ahhh!!! 3 hours later you wake up to greet the day, having forgotten all about the encounter with the possessed birdie toy.
you open your bedroom door and hear the same noise!!!
only now the stupid thing is completely buried under ALL of the toys. after you dump ALL the toys AGAIN one kitty, (your new Hero) walks up and puts his paw right on the offender!!! YAY!!
now, how do you put it out of your misery once and for all?
"these things must be done delicately..." pliers? nope... maybe a nice slow squish in a vice... meanwhile, it is still screaming at you... awwww, time to send it's "made in china" hiney on to a new world... one hammer, one stone hearth and a few well placed blows and 3 more for good measure and now sweet silence... bliss...
