A friend of mine’s cat loved to play with (beer) bottle caps. I saw her learn that the cap only glides with the smooth side down. If the cap got tipped over she would bang the side of it with her paw to try to flip it over. She would do that once or twice and if it didn’t work she would pick the cap up with her mouth and try to flip it that way.

I seem to remember as a kid that you could make a rolling toy from a toilet paper roll, a rubber band and a paper clip. You attach the paper clip to the rubber band and then glue (or otherwise attach) it to the spent toilet paper tube. You twirl around the paper clip to get the tension of the rubber band and then let it go….. I forget if it is supposed to roll on it’s own or just make noise.

Now that I remember that I think I will have to make one for my little fuzzy to play with.
