Cats playing with strange objects

[hissy]

I am curious how many of you have cats who periodically play with objects or items you would never think a cat would play with? One of my rescues, Charlie, seems fascinated by metal objects; small screwdrivers, metal bookmarks, refrigerator magnets. He seems to have an attraction to metal and he ignores the common cat toys.

They're GUYS, they like mechanical things :-)! Whenever anyone's doing some kind of fixit work around here, the males invariably want to help, and figure out what's happening. The females couldn't care less.

Although my cats have fun with cat toys, they spend more time playing with paper, cardboard, metal things, brooms, rugs, emery boards, bottles, bra straps , grocery bags ....

My boys love milk rings & tops, twisty ties from bread bags & q-tips (all played with under supervision of course )

Forrest will play with anything that has "Velcro". He's obsessed with it. Also, anything that is on a table top must be batted to the floor. This has happened with far too many cell phones recently.

We have japanese type hand fans, and Shelly is obsessed with them. He doesn't otherwise tear paper or chew plastic or wood - but he goes nuts trying to bite the fans - whether they're made with wood or plastic - and even if they're just lying there.

Straws, plastic utinsels, the plastic/paper containers that roll of quarters come in, dice, socks and everything else but their cat toys lmao.
