Tea or Toy

It's amazing how items can be used in different ways. Take for example a framed window screen. We use them all summer for keeping bugs out and letting the fresh air into our homes. But a window screen and it's frame can be used as a magnetic bulletin board. How cool is that?

A few weeks ago, a woman came and told me that her rambunctious kitten loved to play with the tag and string on her tea pyramid. She said that at one point she left cup and pyramid for a just moment. When she returned, her pyramid was missing. As she looked around, she spotted a trail of tea on the floor, which led her right to her kitten and to the tea pyramid. The woman's kitten had been playing with the string and the tag. Come to think about it, the pyramid with the string and tag do have a mouse like appearance to them. Isn't is amazing how a tea pyramid became reused into a completely different way?...cat toy.

After having heard this story, I wondered whether tea was on the list of foods that was okay for cats. The results from research says to NOT give your cat tea. It is the caffeine which is not good for your furry feline friend. However, that being said, I wouldn't allow a cat to touch any tea (even decaf), just to be on the safe side.
 
All in all, I have to admit that when I heard this story I was chuckling. I mean, how often does it happen that your tea pyramid disappears from your cup? Your answer is mostly likely, never.
