I think I finally figured out why the kitcats keep hiding whiffle balls under the furniture.

They think it's funny to watch me crawling around on the floor, flashlight in hand, and stretching flat out on the floor in an attempt to retrieve them.

I guess I should feel fortunate that, at my age, my knees still allow me to do that.

Bamboo pole or a yardstick, that way, when it comes shooting out from under the whatever, they can resume playing.

Knocking his bizzy balls under the fridge
He gets a three fer doing this
He gets to watch me struggle pulling the fridge out than he gets to see me wedge myself behind it to gather the balls.
Then I toss all the balls I find all over the place 1 by 1 and he gets to chase them all over the place.
