What toys do your cats play with that were not intended as toys?
My cat likes:
- Taco Bell wrappers
- Milk Jug rings, tabs
- Twist ties
- Beer tops
- Toilet paper/paper towel rolls(he gets in trouble for those, he tends to shed em up)
- Cardboard boxes
What about yours? feel free to mention items I have listed…
My best answer will be chosen by quantity of unique items.
-bobby pins
-towels
-their shadows
-pens
-the bathroom sink faucet
-blinds
-the tub faucet after we shower and it is dripping
-hair
-the television (they love watching tennis, and trying to catch the ball)
-really anything that is not interesting, becomes interesting to them

Her favorite toys are pens! You cannot have a pen in my house. They all belong to her. The moment you leave on unattended…it goes under the stove (her "secret" stash). About once a month, I empty the stash and normally find about 10 toys, 10 pens and a few really old pieces of food. Sometimes I even find missing earings in there!
Heloise: keeper of my heart…and pens.

Well two that you mentioned they love… The milk carton rings and the twist ties. Also, just newspaper crumpled up, they’ll play with for hours. Their absolute favorite, though, …. at least one of my cats…. is aluminum foil. I can’t even open that drawer without her going crazy!! I crumple that up in a ball and she’ll play ‘fetch’ with it for hours just like a dog!! I’ll throw it and she’ll run after it and bring it right back and drop it at my feet for me to throw again!! It’s her all time favorite toy!!

Mine love boxes. Q-tips make a great toy too. And I have this exfoliating glove that they steal and play with for some reason. And paper, one of my cats LOVES to chew on paper so I have to hide all of my bills and receipts.

My kitty plays with her shadow on the wall. I think she thinks it might be another cat. She attacks it like a ninja….

Funniest and most embarassing is Tampons!!
My cat steals my Tampax from my bag or the bathroom and chases them around the house! Then he leaves them lying around in the hall. LOL
