It doesn’t resemble prey like a mouse or snake, so why do they like this cheap slice of plastic?

    They do like bottlecaps. My cat also likes pencils, chopsticks, and straws.

      Yeah, mine LOVES stick-like things more than anything else. But they have to be just right.

      Chopsticks and skewers. Those fishing line/feather toys, but only the handle part, not really the toy part. I gather and replenish a whole collection of sticks when I go walking, but they have to be skinny little twig branches. Too thick to withstand her attack, and she isn’t even interested.

      She also loves pens/pencils, but only when I’m using them and only the one I’m using. So I suspect that one’s a bonding thing.

      Bottlecaps are big for mine too. They like to bat them down the hall and chase them, like it’s hockey.

      But they are Canadian so I give them a pass.
