Toys or Trash?!

Both. I buy him toys that I can play use to play with him and if I'm not playing with him, he'll bring be bottle caps, milk rings, and anything else he can make magically appear (I swear he makes them magically appear).

Cats definitely believe in "reduce, reuse and recycle"! They're good citizens.
Mine prefer the free stuff too. Their favourite is the tail I got from a frozen rabbit on a ski trail (must've been a real ski-bunny ). They just went nuts over it.
Best bought toy was a giant fluffy spider. You could make it jump by puffing air down the attatched tube. Cats jumped a mile first time! Didn't take long for Wiggies to literally tear it to pieces.

Definately trash. plastic bags (which I now have to keep away as he is getting too big and they might hurt him), string, straws that are hidden everywhere in our house , tissues, etc. Most of the non-interactive toys we've bought have been greeted with much disdain!

Today I caught Mitts pulling the bath mat away in frantic motions. He then hit just the right pull, and out popped a small piece of plastic (how did that get there????) He jumped a mile high and prceeded to attack the mat again. Very cute.

Then mean mommy had to steal the plastic away...... He wasn't happy.

chloe LOVES straws! she steals them out of drinks constantly. she also likes the noise plastic bags make. she has 1 she jumps on and inflates it.
q tips are also a fave along with paper towels and tp rollers, lint rollers, cups...

My Ozzie loves playing with Ear plugs-- she plays with them and then puts them in a secret hiding spot--where she stores all her other favorites---plastic rings from the water bottles, milk caps, and sometimes to my dismay---jewelry! Mu husband was missing a ring and I was missing an earing for months--- we found her stash buried deep in the corner of the sofa along with earplugs and bits of string...
I always warn my visitors to not put their jewelry out in plain view of the cat

LOL!! Yes, our babies also prefer the box the toy came in to the toy itself. It's funny the things that they are so utterly amused by!! I find them playing with the strangest things!!

Both. YY likes Panic Mouse but she much prefers those ties one finds at the grocery store - for tying bags or bread. She will play and play with them. And really dig is she looses one under the fridge.

The Spynx Girls also like some pedestrain "toys". It seems in spite of a roomful of toys, they love paper - the better if I am writing on it, lol

Let's see- milk rings, definitely- Rocky's fav. Zakk used to take my razer out of the bathroom. I still to this day don't know why he liked it- maybe cause it was easy to bat around. Right now the kittens are playing with the strings that are hanging use to tie the chair pad on the chair. Jumping into my newspaper while I'm reading it is great one. So is any kind of paper bag or box.

Mine don't prefer one or the other, they'll play with anything that moves. Well, Bella will play with anything, and Rowan generally joins in.

Bella's favorite thing is the ID thing on her collar. It's a tube with paper inside, and it screws together. She likes to unscrew it and hide the paper and bottom from Mommy. It's actually missing right now, which means that I need to go sweep.

My cats love playing with the long diet coke boxes or just any box, really. I have bought them alot of toys and they only play with maybe half of them.

my cat will sometimes knock over the trash can just to play with my dirty tissues or wads of paper. Eww!

my two girls like my hair elastics, and the youngest one likes the DOG's toys! she'll wrap her front legs around one and kick with her back legs. better it than my arm!

i've never let them get away with playing with paper just because they make too much of a mess with it and try to interfere when i'm working on something (flashbacks to college! ahh!).

My cats are such weirdos. I bought some cheap fleece gloves and cut off the tips so I could write and type better in class with them while keeping my hands warm, and they're playing with the cut tips. They're pouncing on them/each other and running all around. Gotta love the ones who are easily entertained!

Just tonight, my older cat, Bonnie, (she is about 8) was playing with the ring off a jar of planters dry roast nuts. She would bring it to me to throw for her to chase. The kittens on the otherhand play with anything and everything, be it my toes or glitter balls (thanks Emb).

My Charlie (5 months) will play with ANYTHING. His favorites are the "plug" from the bathtub , Q-tips, any kind of balled up Kleenex or paper, and toilet paper rolls (with or without toilet paper attached).

He does like his store bought toys too... but I think he prefers whatever he can find on his own!
