\"\"What are some of your cats\u2019 favorite toys? Our Lily used to love, love, love small stuffed toys\u2014like the old Beany Babies. She had a basket full of them and she\u2019d carry these toys around and drop them here and there throughout the day\u2014decorating the house. She\u2019d also bring me her favorite ones each morning and drop one or more at my feet, always with a sweet \u201cPrrrt!\u201d Lily also enjoyed diving under newspaper tents and rolling up in newspaper pages.<\/p>\n

Max chewed the red pom-pom noses off the little mice \"\"we bought him to play with. He\u2019d reject the toy and play with the pom-pom.<\/p>\n

Sophie liked paper. She wanted to sleep on paper\u2014often shredding it and making herself a bed. She also \"\"retrieved the faxes that came through at our house, and she\u2019d sometimes shred it before I could read it.<\/p>\n

Olivia has a small empty water bottle she plays with a \"\"lot. She seems to like the crackle sounds it makes when she squeezes it and rolls around with it. She also likes empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls and wads of paper.<\/p>\n

Twister ties are a favorite toy of some cats, and pony tail scrunchies. Our cats like to bat around pens and small batteries. I also had a cat that was attracted to buttons and zippers on my clothes She\u2019d sit on my lap and play with the zipper pull for the longest time.<\/p>\n

What toys that aren\u2019t toys does your cat play with?<\/p>\n
