Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2007The Ultimate Low Budget Interactive Cat Toy :)
I have these yoga pants with a thin elastic drawstring that worked itself out in the dryer. Flung on either side of the tall scratching post, it is not only a string, but a stretchy string that, when released, goes ZING and snaps the one holding the other end. (It's a soft snap, not a stinging one.) :) I will never forget the first time I let go on Gracie. The look on her face was priceless MU hahaha! However, even funnier was the moment she figured out what would happen when SHE let go first. I swear, I could see her thinking. Now, almost every time, she lets go first, even if she has to bite the string to unhook it from a claw. She never tires of this, and is standing there waitng for me to play right now. She leaps in the air and comes down upside down on the scratching post, sticking like velcro. :) > I have these yoga pants with a thin elastic drawstring that worked itself > out in the dryer.

A cat can swallow one (even a large one) and choke.

So I went to the crafts store and bought these jumbo fuzzy wire thingies and made bracelets out of them -- large enough he cannot swallow them but EXACTLY what he seems to love. Other than that, all empty diaper boxes "are belong to him."  Signature-Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding.

The best is when his head gets caught - the image of this square box head on a cat body sends me into hysterics every time. Don't worry, he quickly figures out how to get it off every time. > >>I have these yoga pants with a thin elastic drawstring that worked itself > >>out in the dryer.

My now deceased cat Randy loved sticking his head in empty ice cream containers and then of course he'd get his head stuck in it. I wish I had the video camera back then because it was comical as all hell. > TuTu also has a cheap favorite toy: A Kleenex box with a few small items > in it -- a couple of large bobby pins, a brush type hair curler. a bottle > cap. She loves to fish them out and toss them. MLB That's really cute. And what a cute name. They are such creative little creatures! With such distinctly different personalities. Both of the other cats I have had did/do not play much. Her first night here from the shelter, she chased her tail on the foot of the bed, it was hilarious. > Both of the other cats I have had did/do not play much. > Her first night here from the shelter, she chased her tail on > the foot of the bed, it was hilarious. Scarlett did that for the longest time! She still sometimes chases her tail, and she's now just over 3 years old. So funny to watch! I have to wonder, what is going on in her mind. It doesn't seem obsessive or uncomfortable, just that it needs to be chased. SignatureCheryl > Scarlett did that for the longest time!

In her case, it almost seemed like pure joy that she was out of that cramped shelter. When I first reached out and she leaned into my hand and rubbed her face on me, she was in a donut bed with a pained look on her pointy little face, because there was a bit Tom trying to share the bed with her. lol I know we sometimes attribute human emotions to cats that are not really there, but honestly, she seemed to be so grateful to have a home. So polite and eager to please, my little puppycat, following me around, just being an angel. It's very touching. I think she must have had a person before. Suddenly, without warning, Cheryl exclaimed (11/17/2007 2:53 PM): >> Both of the other cats I have had did/do not play much. >> Her first night here from the shelter, she chased her tail on [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > have to wonder, what is going on in her mind.

She'll start by staring at the twitching end like it's prey, and try to sneak up on it. Too Funny. jmc
