Cat people - this is a great toy for cats
We have one, and Sunny and Morrissey love to dig toys out of it and bat them around. Monty is only mildly interested, but he's getting older and doesn't play as much as he used to. In fact, he's never been that playful - very quiet and gentle.

9. LOL. Under the living room sofa (without even looking):
Pens, lighters (possibly even a wayward, forgotten pack of Camel Lights), ChapStick, and those fake mice most definitely with their tails missing.

10. my cat Riff Raff likes to deposit those mice into my purse

24. LOL!! Isn't that always the way??
I've spent so much money on cat toys, only to have them turn
their nose up at them and go off to bat a piece of foil.

Frustrating little critters sometimes!!

15. piece of string + that piece of plastic you pull off milk bottle caps to open them
greatest cat toy ever.

bonus: every other one of those plastic pull thingees you ever aquire will entertain your cat for ages, without you needing to do anything to them other than toss them in the cat's direction.

22. Morrissey loves any kind of paper or plastic
If we can't find him we just say, "Paper!" and he comes running with wide, hopeful eyes. He also loves those tear strips.
