Silly toys your cats love

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

Simba loves corks. Monty loves plastic jacks (see pic below).

1. My kitties love

Plastic rings off of the milk jugs, shoestrings, my ponytail holders, you name it!

[Aiptasia]

2. Twist ties, the laser pointer dot, string...

I think the laser pointer gets the most use and instant attention. Jesco has been known to climb walls to get the red dot.

11. You realise that's patented, don't you?

3. Plastic bottle tops

[Beaverhausen]

4. balls of foil

last night I made peanut blossoms and had to unwrap all those hershey kisses. I balled some up and off they went.

kitties!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bertha Venation]

5. cable ties -- those are Toby's favorite

also the plastic ring from the milk lid

[Dora]

16. Oh, the milk ring thingy!

I once had a cat that would play with that lid until she lost it under the stove or was frothing with excitement.

[Bertha Venation]

20. It's the damnedest thing... no telling what they'll play with.

Cats. Love 'em.

[radfringe]

26. our cats love that too

I had one cat (years ago) that would play with it for hours, when it got "dirty" he would drop it in his water bowl, paw at it for a few minutes, then scoop it out and continue to play

of our current brood -- the 3 year old (Pookha) drags the bathroom sink plug around the house -- we've tried "anchoring" it and attaching it to sink but she manages to get it loose

the big boy (20lb+ Gato) goes bonkers over the laser light toy -- and no he's not fat -- really -- he's just one humoungus cat -- all muscle and an avid catnip eater

[SoCalDem]

6. Paper clips.. bread wrappers, water bottle lids

straws..paper sacks..

Real dumpster-type toys..We have "low-class" cats

[the Princess]

7. Della found an old pricetag

And has the most fun with it!! LOL

[eternalburn]

8. Plastic milk rings and......

...wax paper balls.

Latest discovery : Sometimes when you get a package there is a flat plastic tie type thingie that is wrapped around the outside of the carton to make sure the cardboard holds together. My cats love this thing so when we came across a particularly long one I tied it to the banister knob so the two ends dangle. They are still in absolute bliss over this thing.

They haven't paid that much attention to any cat toy I have ever paid for :)

[canadianbeaver]

28. My cat Shade loves the milk container rings too...

He fetches them and brings them back for me to throw again...he is such a good cat....brings back paper balls too....

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. All of the above, plus strands from my cheerleader's poms

10. Twist ties, chapstick tubes, change, basically

anything they can get their paws on that makes noise on a hardwood floor ata 3:00 in the morning :)

[no name no slogan]

12. plastic wrap, plastic shopping bags

seriously, I think my cats are addicted to a chemical in them. They can smell them through ANYTHING.

Once they find them, they start chewing and licking them, until they're shreds. If you try to wrestle them away, they get mad.

I guess I got two junkies living with me-- both cats. :crazy:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

15. Simba loves plastic bags, too

He especially loves them when he's hungry and is waiting for Mom to put food in his bowl; he just goes to town licking them. Silly kitty.

[barb162]

40. here's another. Cardboard boxes they can jump in and then you

move the cardboard boxes around while they are in them. Or you move a pencil over the top of the box and the cat tries to grab it while he's inside the box. Or one cat jumps in the box and the cat outside the box attacks. There's all kinds of things for cats with cardboard boxes

[grasswire]

46. My dearly beloved Chester....

...would go berserk if we put a piece of string or yarn under the box, got him to jump in, and then pulled on one end of the string so he could hear it passing beneath the cardboard. Oy! Frantic digging at the bottom of the box to get the "thing."

[barb162]

49. oh yes, I know that one...drives them crazy to do that

[SOteric]

13. StirFry is currently having a love-affair

with an old shoestring.

[benburch]

14. Any small plasic bit...

To play "cat hockey" on the hardwood floors.

[WMliberal]

17. milk tabs. Neon socks. Orchids

the rest is pretty understandable

[PatriotGames]

18. My cats love practice golf balls. Gorgeous cat by the way!

[politicat]

19. The hood cord from Mr. Pcat's Desert storm Desert Parka.

Angel has had this as HER STRING since she was a kitten. She's now 13. She brings it to you when she wants to play and is insistent about being obeyed.

Fuzz will play with anything, though he's a laser boy.

21. My little dog is obsessed with my mom's mouthguards

My mom wears a mouthguard at night so that she doesn't grind her teeth. For some reason, our dog Stanzy became obsessed with them. She tries to take it out of mom's mouth when mom is asleep, she prowls through the bedroom hunting for them, and has managed to open the bedside drawers to snatch them. So far, she has chewed up and destroyed four mouthguards, which comes to almost $75 worth of damage. She's not normally a destructive animal at all, so this is just bizarre.

I hope you won't punish me for citing the proclivities of a dog. I don't have a cat.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

22. Of course not! We love all animals here!

And that's hilarious about the mouthguard!

[arwalden]

23. Woody And Soon-Yi Love To Play In Ordinary Paper Grocery Bags!!

They can't resist! They must think it's magic!

[arcane1]

24. dried Japanese Maple leaves

[Kahuna]

25. Plastic bottle tabs, boxes, bags, q-tips and just about..

any foreign object she spies.

[Placebo]

27. My cat loves, and I mean LOVES...

the power cord for my laptop.

She attacks it's glowing green light ALL THE TIME like it's a big or something, she just darts at it and tries to eat it and grab it, and it's just sitting there. I don't get it. lol

[CornField]

29. Laundry baskets, computer mouse, the boxes soda comes in

the tree ornaments. LOL!

[Der Blaue Engel]

30. A bag of bows

My calico, Urd, loves to chew on bows. Last xmas I had gathered up all the bows from presents, plus a huge bag I'd bought for like a buck and hadn't used, and put them all in a shopping bag. Urd immediately began taking bows out of the bag (with her mouth). When I cleaned them up again and tried to put the bag in the closet, she was distraught and kept meowing at the closet door. I had to bring them back out and let her have them. That bag has been in the corner of the room all year...Urd pokes around in the bag almost every morning (with her head in the bows) and chooses her bow for the day; sometimes puts one back and gets another. It's the cutest thing. :)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

31. That is cute!

:hi:

[warrens]

32. A stuffed, purple duck billed platypus

Goes by the name of Bill. He drags that thing from room to room; it's as big as he is, so I find it endlessly amusing.

[nini]

33. caps to hair spray cans

he loves them and I find them all over the place.

[City Lights]

34. Ice cubes, foil balls, fuzzy balls, furry mice, stuffed animals, snakes,

Da Bird, and anything on a string. Each cat seems to like something different. Monet comes running whenever she hears the ice dispenser. Alex meows while carrying an old stuffed animal (Tigger or Eyeore - we can always tell by his meow that he's carrying one of the two). Watson likes the furry mice that make noise when you shake them. He'll even fetch these if we throw them. He also loves Da Bird - so much that he killed it. Cairo likes snakes. I was in another room when one of my kids called for me to come quickly to the kitchen because Cairo had a snake dangling from his mouth. It was a baby Kingsnake, about 3 inches long (it survived :-)). Almost all love to chase/bat fuzzy or foil balls, and anything associated with a string.

I never thought about plastic jacks. I bet some of mine would play with those.

[Boswells_Johnson]

35. My sister's cat loves those newish, rubber wine bottle corks

I do my bit to entertain the cat by emptying the bottles:)

[barb162]

36. milk carton tops and goose feathers. when the geese molt, I pick

up their feathers and the cats go crazy when I wave those feathers in their faces. They also like cloth cords which they chase around when we play. You never really have to spend money separately for cat toys. I have found when I buy store-bought toys they like them a lot less than the free ones like the goose feathers and milk jug covers.

[barb162]

37. where do you get plastic jacks; I will try that. Was it a kid toy

dept or pet store.

PS PRETTY KITTY

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

38. It's a kid toy

I played with the metal jacks when I was a kid; supposedly those were "too dangerous," so they don't sell them anymore. You can find the plastic ones everywhere, even at the grocery store.

[Cuban_Liberal]

39. A silly litte yellow, felt bird.

It was originally Grover's toy, when he was a lil'guy, but now Sid has 'adopted' it.

[barb162]

41. I like that cat throw too.

[borlis]

42. Your Monty looks just like my now deceased cat Dusty!!!

I have two cats now, Midnight and Olivia. Midnight doesn't really play with anything. 16 lbs. Lazy. Stays in the same place for hours on end sleeping. Olivia loves to play with wrapped drinking straws and used q-tips.

[andino]

43. I have a fishing poll with a bell in a ball on it

They LOVE it! Plus it helps with casting ;)

[Skittles]

44. Clancy is obsessed with my glasses

I have to hide them from him

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

45. my mom's dogs are obsessed with empty 20 oz. soda bottles

can't get them interested in a bone or a chew toy, but they will gnaw on and fetch those plastic bottles until they're so ragged my mom has to throw them out to keep little plastic shreds from ending up everywhere. :)

[grasswire]

47. on Thanksgiving...

...we had a lot of fun with a stray raw cranberry on the floor and one frisky black cat. It rattled as it rolled on the hardwood floor and there was a lot of hilarity. Then it rolled under the piano, though. I hate to think what all is under that piano.

My Chessie used to love the stretchy glittery gold or silver cord that is used on holiday packages. I think he thought it was alive, because it sort of slithered when he had it in his mouth.

Our house is not nearly as much fun with Chester gone.

[Midnight Rambler]

48. My friend's cat is mesmerised by the laser pointer

No matter what he's doing, that little red dot always captures his attention.

Also, we often have to put him in the bedroom because he always tries to eat our stash.

[Bertha Venation]

50. a friend at work has cats who love her hair scrunchies

LOL I can picture it...

[MissMillie]

51. My cat thinks kitty kibble is a toy

He bats around his food until he's too tired to play anymore, then he eats it.

He's such a crackhead.
