What is your cats favorite toy? email this discussion to a friend?

It amazes me that my cats have an abundance of toys and things to sleep on, stuff to keep them busy, however its the cheapest thing that keeps them occupied for hours.

When my cats were small they loved playing with a pink ball that lit up and rolled around a plastic ring. A $2 toy kept them happy for a couple years.

As they got older they moved on to other things, like a fuzzy mouse that holds catnip in it. All four of them went through their cycle of loving on "mousie".

Now the latest craze for my cats are these bright colored fuzzy mice, about an inch long with little rattles in them. I bought a package of 60 and learned just how fast 60 mice disappear with 4 cats.. so I bought another pack. Now we're down to our last few mice, and I need to find the grand hiding place so we can recycle them instead of buying more. We've shared our great buy with several friends who own cats as well, and the toy was an instant success.

So what is your cats favorite toy? Do you have a story behind it that you'd like to share?

My girl's favourite toy is an old rubber lizard, missing it's back legs, on a piece of string. She goes absolutely crazy when she sees it. She also drags it into our bedroom and meows frantically until someone plays with her.

Sammy hates noisy toys. We bought those colorful crinkly balls once and she ran away from them! She loves string, especially when hanging nonchalantly off of someone's blanket, and my husband's elbows. Her absolute favorite are little mice or socks stuffed with catnip. I love it when a cat plays with one of those, rolling around on their back like a little kitten. -Tink

I LOVE it when my 4 year old cat thinks she is a kitten! That has to be the best part of being a cat mom. Watching them remember what its like to be young and ornery again!

Boxes. Any box that gets brought into the house, even before it is opened, gets inspected and approved of by all 3 of my cats. Then, it is carefully watched as the contents are removed. Once the contents are removed, the box is then given a thorough inspection on the inside. Now, these inspections can happen many times over the next few days if we don't throw the box away. The boxes sometimes take some pretty heavy pawed inspections too. They don't hold any punches. In fact, I have considered seeing if luggage companies would like to hire my cats to do their inspections. They do good work.

Next are the little colorful mice that your cats like too. They throw them up into the air, across the room and then loose them under the couches or other furniture. Unless, of course, my dog gets a hold of it first and eats it. LOL!

Oh! I forgot about one more toy. It is like a little green koosh ball with a face and it has an elasticy string attached to it. It ends up all over the house. On the counters, on the couch, upstairs, in the bathroom so, the hubby and I named it Passport as it is so well traveled.


myLot reputation of 94/100. enchantedleppard (1341)   ranked 36 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

That makes me laugh. I have 2 cats that love boxes and bags, and two don't want anything to do with them. We make little "castles" out of our boxes as well. Thanks for your reponse. I loved this post!


myLot reputation of 97/100. cortjo73 (2186)   ranked 49 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

LOL! My pleasure!

Isn't it funny how you can buy them something that costs $3 but, they are really more interested in the bag it came in of the box something of yours came in? How so much character can fit into such a small body is beyond me! LOL!


myLot reputation of 94/100. enchantedleppard (1341)   ranked 36 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

I know, its so amazing. I just want to squeeze em and cuddle with them all the time and they don't like that too much.

Aw. My cats favorite toy is really anything. She loves boxes,trash, wash cloths, pony tails, ect. She enjoys the mice things you're talking about too.;) Her newest favorite toy is a ball that lights up when she touches it.

I got one of those balls because you were talking about it and not one of my boring cats had an interest in it! I was soo mad! It was such a cool toy. They are just too enthralled with the mousies.

Both my lil luvs like those fake but REAL looking mousies in white or brown...feel like rabbit or something, they also have catnip in them...they tear them up and worry them to pieces. The also love tinfoil balls...talk about cheap.
We went through a phase of wearing ear plugs to bed living in a busy apartment complex, at the time, and our Bijoux, a long haired Maine Coone kitten took to stealing them from the night table and hiding them. When we moved, we found them under everything! LOL...she is a funny girl.


myLot reputation of 94/100. enchantedleppard (1341)   ranked 36 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

We have a maine coone too! He loves milk tabs, the plastic rings outside of the container when you first open it.

Your post made me smile because we have a "mousie" too. Funny thing is that the only time our cat will touch it is when we're all away and then she brings it to the door as a present for us to come back. Breaks my heart actually.:-(

She likes to play with her cheese chase and lights of all kinds. Besides that, her favorite would have to be string of any kind. It could be yard or her gold glitter string... or a piece of ribbon. Anything that looks like a string becomes a toy.:-)


myLot reputation of 94/100. enchantedleppard (1341)   ranked 36 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

Aww she is giving you a present! That is so sweet. My Dory loves to drag string through the house and let the other cats chase it.

O.K. this is gonna sound pretty stupid, but it's true. My cat Lollipop is now like 6 1/2 years old. He has never really gotten into toys that we buy from the store but he loves this stupid toy we made for him. We call it his "sockbaby" and for over 6 years he plays with it no matter what other toy we give him. I just took an old black sock and tied a knot in the middle of it and then we took a shoelace, put it through the knot and pulled the sock around and he loved it! It reminded me of when my daughter was really little. She would get all sorts of neat stuff at Christmas and other holidays but she liked to lay with the boxes they came in instead. There have been time Lollipop has had to stay t the vet for things overnight and I always take his little "sockbaby" into the vet so he could have it overnight and I've always hoped it helped him not be homesick, haha!~D


myLot reputation of 94/100. enchantedleppard (1341)   ranked 36 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

I think that is really sweet. I used to have a toy similar to that when I was little. It was like my comfort blanket.

oddly enough my cat really doesn't like playing with toys that much, she likes to play with yarn, but thats about it...i guess the previous owner (i got her when she was 9) didnt play much with her (although she loves toys stuffed w/ catnip!!)


myLot reputation of 94/100. enchantedleppard (1341)   ranked 36 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

Did you know that some cats have a gene that decides whether they respond to catnip? The ones that don't respond to it don't have that gene!

My cats have cat toys. One is a material type stick thing with rope and a bell on the end (it looks like a stick of dynamite). It's scented with catnip and they don't really play with it much-only if i'm playing with it with them. They also have a little plastic rolly toy with a bell in it. That doesn't interest them much either. What my four month old likes to play with most is a bright pink elastic hair band of mine. He plays with it, flips and flings it everywhere for ages! It keeps him occupied for longer than what it probably should. Isabella, my 10 month old has started to bring in cockroaches and lizards for me. She thinks I like it. I don't.


myLot reputation of 94/100. enchantedleppard (1341)   ranked 36 out of 6,192 in cats  8 months ago

She is bringing you presents, thats so funny. Your response made me laugh. Thank you for that. My Nemo likes to play with hair ties and rubber bands. He brings me one, yeowling loudly as he walks in the door.
