Some time ago, I cut my hair to quite short, but it had been long forever, so I had hair ties stashed everywhere. I was always grabbing them to put my hair back when doing something around the house. Well, my Pinot found some, and they've become a favorite. She has two games: either she brings them to us, we throw them in the air, and she catches them (she's quite a jumper), or she plays on her own by securing the hair tie on the floor with her paw and pulling at it with her teeth. She also puts them under doorways and rugs when she's playing on her own; it's very cute! You'll be in a room, the hair tie will be pushed under the door, and a minute later the paw will come under to search. She just loves to hide them from herself! It's a great cheap toy, so Santa put a bunch in her stocking (the no metal ones, of course). She also tries to hide them under the 'fridge and retrieve them - we think there must be a dozen under there!

Anyway - didn't mean to make that so long! Is she the only one that does this? Pinot's about a year and a half old.

my aunt's cat sassy loves playing with the rim of milk bottles \/.][-0 and they are always unda' the fridge!

I went under the 'fridge yesterday and pulled out five of them! Two were immediately re-inserted under the 'fridge!

You know better then to disturb their storage area.
Years ago, Bill Cosby did a routine about a cat herding toy solders.

My boyfriend's cat, Buddy, loves the milk container caps and, yes, we find them under the fridge all the time! He will also take old shoelaces and sashes off of any of my clothes (I choose to think that I donated them to him, not that he stole them) and do the thing where he holds them down and pulls on them, carries them through the house like prey, and throws them and jumps. Of course, when we catch him doing this, he immediately stops and looks at us as if to say, "You did not see me acting silly. I am FAR to dignified for that!" It's hilarious!
