Why do my cats like this toy?
(lemmy.world)
It doesn't resemble prey like a mouse or snake, so why do they like this cheap slice of plastic?
They do like bottlecaps. My cat also likes pencils, chopsticks, and straws.
Yeah, mine LOVES stick-like things more than anything else. But they have to be just right.
Chopsticks and skewers. Those fishing line/feather toys, but only the handle part, not really the toy part. I gather and replenish a whole collection of sticks when I go walking, but they have to be skinny little twig branches. Too thick to withstand her attack, and she isn't even interested.
She also loves pens/pencils, but only when I'm using them and only the one I'm using. So I suspect that one's a bonding thing.
Our cats like to toss around hazelnuts, small rolls of tape and less surprisingly bouncing balls
Bottlecaps are big for mine too. They like to bat them down the hall and chase them, like it's hockey.
But they are Canadian so I give them a pass.
