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.
