Cheapest toy ever!! A tin foil ball is making my girls act like Kittens!!!

They played with it for off and on for about 2 hours which for them is a super long time. Neither of them chewed on it, they seemed to love the sound of it skidding across the floor the most! I've heard mixed comments on the flashlight game play, I know they love it but I read on one of the Vet sites that it can actually make the animal psycho since they see it but can never catch or touch it. Not sure if that's true or not but after we read that, no more flashlight games! Thanks for sharing! Be well!

One of my dogs caught on that it was the flash light that made the light so when he got bored or tired he would come and rub our hands to stop. Since he caught on the others quickly learnt and I think understood it was a game, we did it a little less later as whenever they saw a flash light they thought it was playtime.

Wow! That is one bright dog you have! I wonder how he figured it out, it amazes me that our animal companians have complex thought patterns and we have no idea how they think but they figure us out fairly fast! Thanks for sharing! Be Well!

Hmmm...I don't do much sewing so they don't have access to thread spools. But I never thought to give them a paper towel roll, not sure if they'd like that or not. Might be worth a try! I do rotate their toys else I'd be tripping over them constantly. They each have 2 toys at a time and then after a few weeks I switch em out. Sometimes it's so amazing that they like the toy better the 2nd time round! I try to wash them somewhat if possible. So maybe they like the more natural smell of Ivory soap vs new toy smell...lol. thanks for sharing ! Be Well!

i can almost guarantee they'll love it. toilet paper rolls work too.my two boys have hours of fun with those,batting it back and forth like soccer.

I'll bet that was alot of fun to watch and for the little kitty too! Tho I wonder what the reaction would have been if the balloon had popped! That happened once to our Dog and she was so surprised that she peed the carpet. She'd been house trained for months and months but the unexpected loud bang scared the pee right out of her! Sometimes the simplest toys are the best. I know one of my favorite toys from childhood was Lego's, I could play with them for hours..likely still could..LOL. Thanks for sharing! Be Well!

I had wadded it up pretty good and I checked to make sure no one has been chewing on it - Happy to say not. My girls only chew on food and Delilah loves to chew on my fingers before bed if I let her. Think it's left over from her nursing days since she was so very small when I got her from the shelter. Her Mom was feral and I don't think she got enough nursing time as she likely was the runt. Thanks for the warning and I'll keep an eye out for it! Wow, you are using the classic lance to test your blood sugar? Your fingers must be awfully sore. I have seen on Tv that they have the ones that test on your arms so you might want to consider that as another option. The only thing I have to guard from the cats is the standard cardboard nail files since one of my cats loves them and steals any left unattended! Thanks for sharing! Be Well!

Aww....it's a very sweet name for a very sweet girl! I agree some of their favorite toys are not the ones we've bought them. When I was working on a cable section for the front pocket of a sweater, it just wouldn't work right so in frustration I pulled it off and put it down. I had planned to set up the stiches again when I came back from grabbing a water. BUT when I came back Cleo had it in her mouth and seemed to love it so I took it away adn bound off the stitches. It's one of her favorite toys and she hides it from the others. It reappears now and then but I have no idea where she keeps it stashed! And Delilah loves the big paper bags and can play with one for quite awhile very happily if somewhat noisily! Thanks for sharing!! Be Well!
