Does your cat play with crayons?

My kitten will play with anything on the floor. And,even though I try to keep all the really bad stuff off the floor, it's almost impossible to keep things like magnetic letters and crayons up. Especially, with a little kid that is constantly spreading those things around the house. Earlier tonight, I was sure that the outdoor cats were scratching to get in. Just turned out to be the kitten behind a chair playing with a crayon. I left him alone to have his fun. What's the harm? It's not as if he eats the crayons. Do your cats play with weird things like crayons?

Hello beauty queen. I think that cats love to play with something as their toys. I love to see cats and dogs play with some toys that they feel amused with. So I guess that your clever cat might be trying to learn how to paint a beautiful picture for you some day. A cue cat. Thanks for your discussion, friend.

I agree that cats are very human as well. Thank you for the best response, dear friend.

I have carpet in my room, and it's not one color, it has flowers on it etc (drawed), and kitten sometimes plays with those flowers xD Looks really fun... Kittens are energetic and want to play a lot, try buying fake mouse, maybe it will attrack kitten more

Well, my cat actually used to get into my sister's purse or bookbag and steal her pens. She'd get so mad with him when he did it too. Funny though to watch him bat it around and try and throw it into the air.

My cats play with anything they can get thir paws on. LOL If the kids leave the crayons laying out you can be sure the cats will find them and bat them around the house. Then I have to dig under the furniture to get them back out.

yes my cat loves to play with stuff like crayons, marker tops, and really whatever he gets his paws on but it's like a new toy for him.he won't eat them though, but it will keep him occupied for some time.

My cat loves to play with rubber bands and hair ties. Sometimes she'll carry them to her food dish and drop them in there. Which I know is really bad since she could be hurt if she swallowed one of them...but she seems to be able to eat around them, and she gets so upset if she sees me take them out of her dish. And since I've seen her take rubber bands off the newspaper I don't think there's any way to keep her away from them. Does your kitten try to take the magnets off the fridge?
