Ok - who has this cat........


I could spend thousands of dollars on cat toys and my cat will want to play with the bag I brought them all home in.

1. My house is simply a repository for cat toys.
They are everywhere. The cats play with milk bottle tops.

2. I'm glad to see other people use paper box lids at cat beds. Much like the toy situation
I bought my guy a brand new cat bed, one that looked pretty nice in our living room. He prefers either a paper box lid or a box flat from Costco, never sleeps in his bed.

I never buy him toys any more for that exact reason. Twist ties are his favorite thing, and I have a drawer full of those.

The only toy he consistently loves to thrash is a stuff Donald Rumsfeld doll that my friend (who is a Republican) bought for him. LOL!

6. I guess I got lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it)
My cat seems to think that anything not bolted to the floor is one of her toys. She woke me up this morning flinging one of her old collars around the bedroom--she likes to pick up pens in her mouth and run off with them, too. :crazy:

8. That sounds like my cat.
Mine also will do things she knows she's not supposed to do, and when I tell her, "Bouda, no!" she just looks at me calmly, with that innocent, wide-eyed look. She won't move though, or stop. She used to. I think she finally figured out I'm not going to actually do anything besides eventually come over and move her. So frustrating!

9. OMG!
I had a cat named 'Bouda' that lived to be 21. And my Bouda had major 'tude problems. :rofl:

This morning I caught the 'outside cat', 'Nubbs' carrying bolts off from where I am working on one of my motorcycles under the carport. He was literally carrying it off around the edge of the house in his mouth....a 2 inch bolt! :o Needless to say they are are in my toolbox now and not left in reach of those curious orange paws. :crazy:

15. My parents' older cat used to play with rocks
She'd go searching through the indoor flower pots and gingerly slide any small rocks laying on top of the soil to the lip of the pot and then onto the floor. Then she'd bat them around and chase them all over the house. Rocks--can't get much cheaper than that for a cat toy!
