I gave Boo the Cat Dancer last week!! He loves it and we played for quite some time with it

I'm going to see my Dad tomorrow, so I'll try to clip his nails then. I think that would help a lot at the very least in preventing bad scratches. And when my Mom comes back, I think I'll work on her to get another playmate for Boo.
