Rufi's 'new' favorite toy

This is what he is supposed to be playing with: But lately he'd rather play with the basket his toys are kept in than with the toys themselves.

He takes out all toys, get's a good grip with his teeth and jumps on the couch with it. Once on the couch he keeps chewing on it.
This is his answer to: "Rufus what are you doing?"

"I'm holding the basket with my paw because it keeps jumping off of the couch"
