What is your cats favorite thing to play with that is not a toy?

My emotions

ME😎👍🏻

My cat Conan loves to cuddle with my dog Sarge, if that counts

Me. I seem to be voice controlled. I dance for him on command. I’ve been taught to do tricks.

The plastic ring from a gallon milk jug . Until they end up underneath my refrigerator !

One cat loves my hair ties, I had to start hiding them when I take them off. Another cat loves playing with crumpled up receipts. They make a wonderful sound and get great airtime when bapped.

Toilet paper roll and q tips

Anything he thinks I don’t need, but he should have.

The microfiber cover for the scrubbie side of my squeegee. Bubble wrap. My purse (pretty sure he thinks it’s his girlfriend). Any crinkly package of parts that come with things to be assembled. And Christmas bows.

He kept stealing this until I gave up and put it in the toy box. I’m allowed to use it if I wash and return. 😐

Mr Fuzzy Bottom likes bags 😂

Shoe laces.

A flat box. Can't put it together. He just wants it flat, on the rug by the table in the dining room.

The other one is always trying to eat plastic. I also have to hide hairties ... I don't want her to eat them. She also loves water bottle tops. And my hair.

Aluminum foil ball. Small enough to play fetch with (a couple of our cats would do that) but not so small as to be a swallowing or choking risk.

Celery

I had a cat that was crazy for the orange foam earplugs I wore at night. She would steal them and play fetch with them. I went so far as to buy a box of 100 for her because they got lost so easily, and then she didn’t want to play with them anymore. I got rid of the snorer in my bed and don’t need the earplugs anymore too. 🤪

Used q-tips. Not clean ones - those don't have any flavor, the have to be used.

Also, escaped crickets from my terrariums. He plays with them in the living room - alive - then picks them up in his mouth - still alive - and takes them to the kitchen where he will spit them out - still alive - and plays with them there. He repeats this for most of the rooms of the house until he gets bored and eats them. Then he stares at the last place they were for a few minutes like he can't believe his friend abandoned him. He's orange.

My emotions 😔💔 (One day he's mad at me and the other he's not like-- BROSKI PLS EXPLAIN WHAT AM I DOING WRONG????)

The dog. Sigh.

My cats love when I make the bed in the morning. Afterward, I stand at the end and put my hands under the comforter and wiggle my fingers, so they can play "hunter." They lose their minds and act like fools for this silly game.

My toes.

My Apple Pencil. The first time it went missing for a long time. I was sure I left it stuck to the edge of my iPad.. I finally found it under the fridge magnifying itself to the coil under there. I keep it in a drawer now. Lol

My wife's hair

I just picked up the plastic ring from the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream that they have all been playing with for three days.

Mine loves dental floss. In fact one day I saw two inches of floss sticking straight out of his butthole. Now I am paranoid to leave any floss or string anywhere for him to eat.

The twist ties from a loaf of bread or electronics. I keep some in a drawer and they’ll take them out if I forget to close it all the way.

I installed this grip protector on my motorcycle. During the installation I cut a small part of it to make it fit my grip.

My beautiful SIC stole this little piece of trash and it has been her obsession since then. I couldn't throw it away because she would find a way of digging it out of the trash and she would be visibly depressed if it was absent. So I decided to thoroughly clean it of any residue and leave it to her.

Some months ago it disappeared. I don't know how, but it was gone. She became less friendly and more grumpy without it. But this month the handlebar grip wore away and I installed a new one. I cut as much as I could from the older grips and now she has her toy back. She is super grateful and cuddly, I don't know why she became so attached to it.

Bugs 🤢, spaghetti(raw) and cable ties...

right now she's getting a lot of playtime mileage out of the emerging spotted lanternfly nymphs. their little hops excite her.

The door. Makes a whoooooosshhh sound when opening/closing and it rubs on the carpet - she seems unable to fathom that it is the door making this noise, not a mysterious animal hiding behind the door; she must catch the whooshy animal!

Hair ties, there’s at least 2 under every rug in the house.

My patience at 3am

Any piece of trash they can find? 2 of them fought over a piece of lettuce I dropped making salad. Eventually, one of them ate it.

Beauty blenders she finds every time I've lost about 15 of them.. after that I decided to stop using them... Also anything in the form of stick so straws, toothpicks, them ear thingies that u clean ur ears with....

My Hobbes likes the plastic rings on Milk jugs.

The window! He likes to look outside and whenever a bird or a little insect is getting closer, he starts jumping on the window and meowing

A single foam earplug

Paperbag

My leg

My feelings

My emotions.

One LOVES socks, loves flipping them, watching socks being put away, anytime we touch his socks he gets upset and takes them away from us

The plastic straps that come around packages. Those are the ultimate toy. Then I get tired of them and quietly pick one up to put it in the recycling bin, but she somehow always ears me and comes running.

She’s a fetcher and likes to bring random toys for me to throw for her. Then she brings a strap, thinking it will be the Best. Thing. Ever. Her favourite toy in a game of fetch? This will be epic, she thinks. She’s always disappointed to see how it doesn’t go far when I try to throw it for her.

A bath mat, he thinks he’s being stealthy when he hides under it. He also went through a wire bathroom trash can phase, he thought he was invisible when he was inside of it.

I bought round, bobber type fishing floats for toys.

He also prefers the dog's toy over his own. Have you ever seen a cat 'rabbit kick'/try to disembowel a tennis ball?

Seconding the hair ties… she finds them and destroys them no matter where I put them….

[Image] 

My patience

Cicadas, though I couldn't readily tell if she was playing or taking vengeance trying to make the noise stop. Kept destroying their heads and leaving their headless bodies on my porch.

My heart.

One minute she loves me. The next minute I only exist to serve her.

String

Ours absolutely LOVES nerf gun bullets, the long Styrofoam type. She brings them to us as gift offerings

Crumpled receipts, pens, plastic clamshell containers, paper bags.

My ankles. But yes also hair ties. I moved house this week and found them under every conceivable surface…

My cat loves wine corks, soon as I go to pop a bottle she is instantly at my side rubbing my leg and begging for me to throw it.

Pens, hair ties and plastic takeaway straws.

Dead mice :/

Pants - my cats will 90% of times try to play with my leg when I'm wearing bell bottoms . I even have a special pair of worn out bell bottoms just for them to ruin .

My cats love to play with my ceocheted stuffies, and my daughters blankets!!! Annoying!!!!!

Yes you, Tip and Spot!! (They are looking at me wierd)

Wadded up scraps of paper, the ring from plastic milk jugs, Tampax tampons in their wrappers, toilet paper rolls, and my shoes. She turns her nose up at store bought cat toys.

hair ties again, and those little ribbons you get around lindt bunnies with the bell on them. My youngest cat has protected it with her life since Easter.

Long hair, pillow case, toilet paper, banana, plant, shoelace, bag straps, bugs, shower curtains, crystals, oh an ofcourse chickpea that fell on the floor

My beeb passed away a month ago today but she liked the red DQ spoons. Lol.

Be careful about the hair ties- mine also loved them. In college I lived with 3 girls so we had a million of them. We noticed them disappearing but honestly that happens all the time with hair ties so we didn’t think much of it. But I noticed that my cat lost weight rapidly despite being constantly hungry. He went from 12 pounds to 8 in just a couple of months. He also developed diarrhea which was unusual for him. I took him into the vet who felt his stomach and said it didn’t feel right. He did an x ray and said that he could tell his stomach was filled with something and he thought it might be causing the issues. He had to have emergency surgery and the vet found that his stomach was filled with hair ties- he’d been eating them instead of just playing with them! He had probably 30 in his stomach, it was an astonishing amount. The vet said he had no clue how he was still alive. From then on I have kept hair ties, rubber bands, etc. basically under lock and key!

My eyelids 😑

I inherited my current cat from my grandmother after she passed, she was around 3 at the time. She came with a basket of toys she liked (apparently) but I've never seen her play with any of it. What she /does/ love to play with are push pins. Specifically these short one with round tips. If I let her she'd play with one for hours, but because I'm such a cruel owner I don't let Chloe play with the dangerous sharp tacks.

Balloons, tiny Lego pieces, paper, cable ties, charging cords. That’s my girl cat. My boy cat manly likes to eat bugs.

Emery board!

Our old cat was obsessed with a magnet of a pair of lips. She would go mental with it and would be very aggressive if you tried to take it off her. If she saw you hide it, she’d go mad trying to get it.

My youngest two bring in feathers, leaves, leaves attached to small branches and random wrappers from outside. One once took in a (clean) sock which I can only assume she stole from someone's laundry basket that they left unattended.

One of my old cats (that I lost to old age) used to bring in massive earthworms and once she came home with someone's bathroom sponge. I always knew she was bringing in an earthworm because she used to do that loud yowling that mother cats do to call their kittens, but I got a surprise when I saw a sponge in her mouth that was 3x the size of her head instead of an earthworm.

Any new box that I bring into the house is immediately the favourite thing to play with

My blind kitty loves crumpled up post-it notes. She demands them from my every morning from my home office. The other cats will skitter them across the floor as well.

One of mine loves to murder any clothing left on the ground. She kic ks the hell out of it until it's "dead" sometimes does an adorable meow to let us know and waits for a good girl.

She also likes to kill clothes pins.

Straws and nerf bullets

My hair extensions 🤦‍♀️

The little plastic ring from around the top of milk bottles. They'll chase those things around all day.

My HAIR! :’) Our girl cat goes crazy for those toys with multiple tinsel or ribbon strands and unfortunately, she reacts the same with my hair as it’s long and straight. It was cute at first when she was a kitten but she has jumped me multiple times to play with my hair and it scares the life out of me when she does.

Caps. From milk jugs..soda bottles.. etc. Obsessed

Straws.

Straws! And crumpled up receipts for the toys I bought him that he has no interest in.

One of my cats is obsessed with rubber bands. He waits for the to open the drawer and then goes for the rubber bands.

My foot in a dark room after I just saw her downstairs

Fast food hamburger wrappers. She smells the burger and just flips the paper around looking for it.

He likes to play with my patience.

Your hand

Hair ties and wine corks

Tarps, the larger the better.....

My hand 🥲

My bookmarks!!!

Shoelaces and earplugs 🐱🐾

Shoestring...

My Chap stick. Whenever I can't find it, I just look under the couch.

My ankles. She loves to attack them.

Plaster (bandaid) wrapper paper

My cat loves plastic bags and wadded up "clean" tissues.

Tissue paper.

My hair ties

My hands. He scratches my hand in my sleep.

What...? Did you say something? I was too distracted by that blep!

Anything circular. Hair ties for sure...but also LOVES the rings off of 2L/3L milk cartons. Cut the centre out of a Pringles lid recently as an experiment lately and she had a good old time with that too...though she tosses in air, catches, wrestles the lids and ties the most

My JJ enjoys playing with my sewing clips! I had to start hiding them from him!😩

Sticks dragged in from outside, the longer the better. They also love dried leaves and insects they can torment.

My emotions

Empty dental floss container. The little plastic/metal twist ties on packages of bread loaves

A plastic spoon, the metal/plastic thingies that are used to close the bread bag, nail files.

Pipe cleaners.

My patience

Cough drops and hard candies. They are littered over our house.

A wadded up piece of w

Hair ties

A wadded up piece of paper

My boots. Or laces on my boots. She makes so much noise with my boots...

My hair, whether it long or pulled back. He will pull out the hair tie, headband, etc.

The little circular plastic piece that you have after opening up a jug of milk.

plastic bottle caps and straws. our baby loves mcdonalds straws especially

A string or a ribbon is her favourite toy she doesn't care about actual toys so we just use that to play with her. She also likes small objects that she can push around on the floor like a hair tie

Garbage, literal garbage. Specifically used facial tissues and q-tips (more wax better the flavour apparently).

Rubber bands!

Mine likes to chew on plastic bags. Not grocery store bags but harder, thicker plastic like the zips on ziplock bags. Just the zips, not so much the actual bag.

Christmas bows every year (she’s had two christmases so she has a bow from each Christmas she plays with in addition to her many many toys).

Our girl loves hair ties too! But she often tries to eat her toys. Our friend who is a vet said that hair ties get swallowed by cats regularly and can close blockages so I would proceed with caution with those! We bought her these skinny springs as an alternative but I know she wants the hair tie.

My hair..

q tips

EVERYTHING

Those toothpick flossers 😭

Tea bag paper and My feet when I sleep

The other cats in our home... 😊

• A walnut
• A (human) candy
• A foam thing that was in a package
• A mini marker
• A hair tie
• My hand

plastic bottle caps, rolled up bits of paper, sports bottle caps, cotton buds, my yarn, anything crinkly lol

So adorable 🥰

Ice. My sister's cat comes running anytime he hears someone at the ice maker.

My DIL has pool noodles cut up for a project and our cat brings them up from the basement to play with. He absolutely shreds them. Luckily doesn’t eat them. Another cat loves to lick plastic grocery bags. It’s really annoying.

Pens and pencils...

My head.

Human feet under the bed covers.

McDonalds cheeseburger wrappers lol we ball them up and she plays fetch with it

Feet with socks on 🙄 can’t wear socks in my house if I don’t want a few bites

Our previous cats loved hair ties too, I miss them. One of our cats doesn't play that often, but sometimes everything just has to go from the table to the ground. A cat of a friend of mine absolutely loves reciepts, they always keep them to give to the cat.

Hair bands, if you chuck one, he'll retrieve it and drop it at your feet like a little dog.

Plastic

The wooden pole holding up the shelter in the backyard. No idea why, but he suddenly discovered it's his favourite place to be outside, scratching at it like it's a first-class scratchpost.

Tags you cut off of clothes after buying them, Popsicle sticks, and zip ties. My Sage likes to scoot things around on the floor

My housecoat belt. Loves the catch it.

A racquetball

My toes!

Strings, paper and anything that makes noise

Straw wrappers

The tabs that come off of cartons or milk/cream. My cat loves to chase them around the house and pick them up with her teeth and throw them. We probably have 20 of them lying around (of course I wash them before I give them to her).
