My brother noticed a potato with scratches on it on my kitchen floor. He assumed it was trash and went to throw it away. I stopped him and exclaimed, "Don’t throw that away, it’s the cats potato!" He laughed and put it back on the floor.
My cats adored that potato. They would bat it around like a soccer ball, wrestle with it, or simply cuddle it like a teddy bear. Seeing the joy it brought them, I couldn't bring myself to throw it away. I realized that even a silly potato could symbolize profound joy and understanding. From that day on, we refer to small, kind gestures as “The Cats Potato”.
