Most of my cats would agree that Qtips are evil however...

My cat Bear thinks Qtips are the greatest toy on the planet and if he sees one he will follow me around the house, often walking on his hind legs only and meowing constantly. He used to raid the bathroom wastebasket to fish them out until we went with a stainless steel can with a peddle and lid. Well being he's 17 pounds he learned to sit on the peddle so the lid would open to fish out Qtips. Now we've resigned ourselves that Qtips cannot be thrown out in the bathroom so we have to take them out into the kitchen to the big trash can instead.
