Thread: What does your cat play with for fun?

My Buddy Boy LOVES wrapped candy!!! Or anything with a wrapper on it like fortune cookies, but he mostly loves the candy. He is always raiding my candy dish and taking what he wants moving whatever is in his way to get to the ONE he wants!!! I now have to put the candy dish up as I was tired of finding candy all over the place. He also loves bags of any kind!!

My other kitty (not a maine coon) LOVES the twit ties off of the bread bag!!! She can keep herself occupied for hours!!!

Those light ping-pong type balls are popular with Mufasa. He also loves his fluffy squirrel we brought back from the US this year and I like it because it has velcro to enable you to replace the catnip. His all time favourite though is his first ever toy and he still plays with it and uses it as his security blanket:

Kenny loves the laser pointer - as soon as I get it out of the drawer he's up and ready for the red dot. He also likes to play with anything in a plastic wrapper and large flat bottle tops.

Just got up to find an empty vegeburger box outside the bedroom door - guess that was last night's toy!

When our girls were little it was not hard to find a toy for them. As they grew up, it is challenging to find "novelty" and make them interested. They get bored if you use the same toy every day, so we rotate different birds on strings attached to fishing rod.
The hot items for them are : scrunched foil balls, large scrunched sheets of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes.
One of our rooms is filled with multiple boxes and papers (playroom)
Every evening at 9:30 they meow to announce the playtime and invite us to participate. We take turns (both of us must participate, otherwise we'll hear more meows) They expect us to bring the fishing rods to the playroom. I have to be inventive and find different ways of play to keep them motivated.
At other times they do chasing, batting stalking each other or engage in self-play with foil balls.

Its nice to know how similar MCs are. I love hearing about all their fun stuff.
