RES vs. cat toy

I had an amusing story to share. This happened this past weekend when I was doing a cleaning/decor change in Mr. Turtle's tank...

As I have done for the last 20 years, I took Mr. Turtle out of his tank and let him wander around the room while I clean his tank. He absolutely loves getting to do this, and likes to follow me around and walk back and forth over my feet while I am at the sink. While I was standing at the sink I heard my cat's toy jingling. It's one of those plastic balls with holes in it and a bell in the middle. I thought it was weird that my cat was playing with it, because he very rarely does and hasn't in months. When looked over to investigate it was actually Mr. Turtle that was playing with it! He was enjoying putting his front foot on it and pushing it away to make it make noise. Even my cat had to come over and watch in amazement. Who knew that a cat toy could also amuse a turtle...

I'm like you, I let my big girl Sadie, roam around while I clean her tank. She loves it! She likes sitting in my mother's lap, too.

Ahaha that's pretty kewl.

How did you get him used to being out of his tank? When you first started doing it he wouldn't run and hide into tight spots?
