Hugemus Maximus, the pillow-hero!

So, a few weeks ago my friend gave me two boxes full of (barely used) stuff she doesn't use anymore to go through; clothes and all sorts of stuff. So I picked a lot of clothes, among other things, and a pillow. The clothes were washed the first day we got them because my friend has a cat and I'm pretty allergic... but there was still one pillow in the laundry basket waiting for appropriate treatment.

Well, today, Hugo was roaming around the flat (well, the usual corner near his cage that he fancies, that is) once again with H trying to teach him how to play with his toys--


--like this, yeah, but apparently toys are for babies... Huge's never really shown any interest if there's no mealworms or other food involved, but today we saw some interest!

Only, not because of the toys, but because of the pillow (but it can be thought of as a toy, right? :D)!



"What's this amazing smell? From where is it coming?"



"AHA, IT'S COMING FROM HEREEEE! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME!"
At this point, I told H to give Huge something from the basket ("No, honey, seriously, NOT MY PANTIES! PUT THEM BACK! Try the pillow, it might smell of cat...") and so H did as requested and put the pillow on the floor... and Huge went just crazy!!



*self-anointing*



*and again*



"Just. Can't. Get. Enough!"

Wasn't the first time, but he's seriously NEVER done it four, five times in a row -- and he's always been so quick we haven't managed to take a picture but AHA, this time it was soooo easy!

The sad thing is that of course, just when he was having fun with the pillow; biting it, pushing it around and so on, H's pager (volunteer fireman) went off and the sound is so loud that it (plus H's rushing exit) scared both of us and Huge ran straight to his cage... but I put the pillow into his cage. Usually he won't come out from hiding if I'm typing in the same room but whatever, he might come this time... And I might leave the thing into his cage for the night... I don't see why I couldn't. Do you? :/

So, yeah, it was cute! I honestly think that Huge's been feeling a bit bored lately so flat-roaming should, from now on, occur more often... I also really should come up with new activities for him, hmmmmm.
