does your cat have a favorite toy?

Patches has this cute little pillow that i got as a freebie
a while back - she LOVES that thing,she drags it around
everywhere - she also likes to drag my daughters Barbie Dolls
by the hair so we have to make sure they are put away

Sammycat has a little orange racing bear that he likes to beat the crap out of. Oscar loves all of the nip mice that we have in the house his fave is the leopard spotted one

Socks has her Minnie Mouse... it was mine when I was little but she moved in and it's been her's ever since. It's a fair sized stuffed animal, probably about the size of a Kleenex box (lol, it's the only thing I could compare it to...). She drags it everywhere!

Yup Riley has my toes .

All my cats apart from Alfie love the little feather on the end of a string type toys.
Alfie, on the other hand thinks he's above the rest, and the only thing which will get him moving is jewllery!!! especialy a necklace dragged along the floor...oh and only silver or gold will do!!

They love all their toys

But I think they both like the feathers on a stick the best. Saki carries it around in his mouth and growles LMAO!! Zoey used to drag hers into the bedroom when I went to bed.

Saki also loves the mice too .. he carries those around in his mouth.. so cute!

when im on the computer she lays by my feet and plays
with the mouse string

mine also love that feather on a stick thing. A tortie I had long ago adopted a fluffy mouse toy and used to take it to be fed (dropped into bowl of wet food!) collected some time later and take to the litter box. It would stay there some time until she remember about it. Effie never had kittens of her own and never realy took to any new real life kittens but would drag this beaten up fluff scrap thing about until it more or less imploded. Once it was gone that was it-she never 'adopted' another.

Our older cats all seem to only like toys that are moving, though Tuxedo will play with those small furry mice that rattle inside by himself - those are his favorite. We toss them around for him and he just goes nuts. (He won't play with ones that don't rattle!)

Lazlo and Sheldon go INSANE for the feathers. On a pole, not on a pole, an ostrich feather, regular feathers, furry feathers - it doesn't matter. They growl to, and run around with them (dragging the pole if necessary, LOL!) And the weirdest thing - we found these bright red feathers on a yellow string at the end of a neon pink pole. I know cats don't see reds very well - but for some reason, this particular toy drives both of them more insane than any other feather toys we've come up with.

Flowerbelle plays with anything, although her favorite is the ping-pong balls - especially if they're contained in something, like the shower or a box.

Spooky loves elastic. I bought lots of elastic pacs (1/8 wide) at Walmart, braided them together into long strings, and tie up the ends. There doesn't need to be anything at the end of it - just the knot will do. We drag it around and she goes nuts for it! I like braiding them because then it's thick enough she can't chew threw them.

...although... listening to the pandemonium currently happening in my home, I'm beginning to think Tuxedo's favorite toy is Flowerbelle!!!!

(We have long tubes from Home Depot - they're called "Quickrete" Quick Tubes - they're made out of thick cardboard and we bought the ones that are 8" thick. They're used for forming concrete footers for stuff.)

Flowerbelle darts in one end of the tube (which we cut into 3 - 4 - 5 foot lengths) and Tuxedo runs down to the other end. She pops out, he jumps - she runs around him and bolts back in the tube. She hides in there. He runs down to the other end and pops his head in there. She comes racing out the other end again. He races after her - she runs around after him. We have two right next to each other on the floor of the bedroom - between the bed and the wall. They can either go through the tubes, over the bed, or up over the other stuff on top of the tubes. They'll chase each other in circles around there forever it seems.

Some of them we left bare - it makes balls roll through there really quickly. Two we purchased carpet remnants for, and cut them into thin strips ( about 3 inches wide) and taped into the tube, so they've got something they can grip on to. These we prop up so they can race up onto shelves or into cabinets we've cleared out for them. (Because we live in the RV, we can't leave them up, but they make good mobile playstations when we do put them up).



Tubes are great fun!!!!

spinning feathers on a rope. amber knows where I put it - in the laundry room - and all you have to do is open the door and she will come running! she will walk in and sit and stare at them! sometimes I cant play with her and I have to usher her out and she gives me the most pathetic little 'mew'.

My hair?

(Sad, but true!)

Simba likes the feathers on a stick, too. I got him some balls with bells inside and he just looks at me like I'm crazy when I try to get him to chase them. Same with the fabric fish stuffed with catnip.

The only other thing I've found that he likes to play with is the covers on the bed. When I'm making the bed up after washing the sheets - shaking the sheets and blankets out onto the bed - he will come flying into the room, leap onto the bed so fast he skids all the way across it, and start play-attacking the covers. Then if I run my hand around underneath them he really goes crazy.

Here too!

Mr Underfoot's second favorite toy after my hair is his giant fuzzy rat - I give it to him as a distraction to rabbit-kick when he starts trying to pick on the other cats.

All of my girls like the same toy. It's a bright toy at the end of a rope that also has feathers and a little bell.

My boys love the bite sized toy rats and string, LOL!

blackies fav. toy is a mouse that is filled with cat nip, and stripey likes those mice that has a rattle sound when he bats them, they end up under the fridge. most of the time they both like the wild streak, its a wand toy with a feather on the end

Ivo's two favorite toys are a tinsel ball (silver tinsel on a lavender ball) and cheap Bic ballpoint pens. I toss the ball in the middle of the living room before I go to bed, and when I wake up in the morning it's under the futon, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, in the kitchen...As for the pens, I'll drag them on the futon, on the floor-and she goes nuts trying to grab the end and give it the killing bite

My Dad's cat Pumpkin's favorite toy is a little stuffed dog, named Mr. Doggie. I got it when I was a child, and it's a bit smaller than a regular beanie babie. Pumpkin latched onto it when Dad first got her as a 10 week old kitten, although Mr. Doggie was larger than she was. Even so, she'd still drag it all over the house. Nowadays (10 years later), Mr. Doggie has lost his ears, tongue, eyes, stuffing and fur but Pumpkin still drags him all around the house.
