It all started a few years ago in a Boston toy store. I was shopping for Christmas presents for friends and family back in Colorado, since I was looking forward to my first vacation since arriving at MIT. That's when I saw the fateful equipment. Those puffy antlers with the little bell dangling from them were irresistible, and when I imagined them on Gonad, The Cat Who Can Put Up With Anything, I couldn't put them down.
They were a hit back home. Many pictures were taken of the Rein-Cat in everybody's arms, one of which may be available for your viewing pleasure in the near future. He quickly learned to fear the tinkling of the little dangling bell and ran under the stereo once he heard it. It always makes Fluffy laugh, in that quiet way he has.
I don't think any Christmas present could compare to the Rein-Cat.
