Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004Odd cat toys
Forget buying those expensive cat toys, give your cats some cotton balls. My cats love playing with them. My big fat cat also loves to play with the shadows on the wall, and laser pointers. Q-tips are also a hit at my house. Does anybody have anything as odd as cotton balls???? I've dropped q-tips before and my cats take off with them. I always take them away and put them in the trash (not the cats). Mine like to eat the cotton so I don't use these as toys. > Forget buying those expensive cat toys, give your cats some cotton > balls. My cats love playing with them.

Ditto here on the Q-tips. I will let them play with them as long as I am around to keep an eye on them or / and until the ends start coming off then I remove them or give them a new one. Needless to say I go through a lot of Q-tips but I get a large bag for $1 at the local dollar store. http://hometown.aol.com/larrystark/my-babies.htm >I've dropped q-tips before and my cats take off with them.

The larger the cat, the smaller the box they try to get into. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. Really? Cotton balls? I would be worried they would choke on that and tear it apart...your cats don't do that? I've never tried the q-tips, either....now the laser light they LOVE!! They jump up onto the sofa and walls...wherever I point it they attack it LOL! I also have a fishing pole with a fake mouse w/catnip that I kinda like to swing back and forth and they love to jump at that! I tend to let them playing with the fishing pole before I go to bed to let them burn some energy and it has really worked! Christina My guys go crazy over the little plastic rings that come off a milk jug when you open it. We have hundreds of them in a bag, and God only knows how many under furniture, behind the fridge, etc. And yes, the empty cardboard box! >My guys go crazy over the little plastic rings that come off a milk jug >when you open it.

You might want to check Pet Smart if you have one for rings similar to the milk jug rings only they are wavy which makes them about 1/2 high. The thicknessof the ring is the same as milk jug ring but the waves make it about 1/2 overall. My furbabies love them as much as the milk jug rings but the do not go under EVERYTHING (Somethings yes). http://hometown.aol.com/larrystark/my-babies.htm Go get Furball. Bill I've had a couple of cats who liked playing with plastic wire ties. One used to hold it with one paw and bat around the other end with the little bit on the end. It was also carried around a lot like a prey item. Bill > Forget buying those expensive cat toys, give your cats some cotton > balls. My cats love playing with them.

SignatureIn Memory of Biggles www.1cooperfamily.com Yup...foil balls!! Anytime my cat hears tin foil...she goes crazy! She loves throwing them in the air and chasing them around the room. I've bought toys for her...but no...she prefers the best kind of toys...free ones!! Works for me. :) My only concern with cotton balls is that my cat would likely end up choking on them. She loves biting her toys too. > Forget buying those expensive cat toys, give your cats some cotton > balls. My cats love playing with them.

Q-tips are > > also a hit at my house. > > Does anybody have anything as odd as cotton balls???? pony tail holders are a definite favorite with most of my cats. pens are another, until they send them off the desk to the floor where the dog can eat them. glitter balls are great and inexpensive. And I found a "cat fishing rod" in Petco - its a miniature fishing rod w/a mouse tied on at the end, you can "cast" out the mouse and reel him back in. Laser pointers - great invention, hours of fascination. > my cat has a favorite pencil. > > Forget buying those expensive cat toys, give your cats some cotton > > balls.

This gives me a good idea: I'll attach a furry mouse (cat doesn't like them because they don't move) to an automatic meter band, that should do the trick :-) Carola > Forget buying those expensive cat toys, give your cats some cotton > balls. My cats love playing with them. My big fat cat also loves to > play with the shadows on the wall, and laser pointers. Q-tips are > also a hit at my house. > Does anybody have anything as odd as cotton balls???? well, the other day, i *finally* got my christmas presents from my parents. skittles played in the paper until she passed out. then she woke up and played in the bags. but as far as real cat-toys, she LOVES the one she has.... it's a stick with a long elastic string and on the end of the string is a little bell and sparkly tassles. does anyone remember "cat dancers"?? we had one for our cat oh......15 years ago. ---julia skittles also likes to hide my earrings. i find her batting them around the floor ALL the time. > Does anybody have anything as odd as cotton balls???? One of my kitties LOVES twisty ties that come with a loaf of bread. If he sees me hold one he will start to beg me for it. Besides the laser pointer, the tie is his favorite toy. Another cat of mine loves to roll the toilet paper roll until it becomes empty. He thinks its funny. He also can't resist a cardboard box. He can be occupied with it for days and then he likes to sleep in them. If I get a package, he thinks that the box is for him and it is very hard to open a package when you have a cat jumping around you with joy! I have a cat that goes crazy over olive wood. She also love runing after gifts warps bow knots. She regularly cary her blue tedy bear around, but supremly dislike us seeing her doing it... Ocasionaly, she will play with a champage cork. Many years ago, i had a cat that just LOVED decorating herself with cristmas tree brilliants, and never even tryed to eat them. She roamed under the tree her tail raised as high as possible to catch them, then walked around the house with pride...

Is olive wood what you call olive pit where you are? I'll have to remember that if so... > I have a cat that goes crazy over olive wood.
