Talk about cheap toys!!!

We have a few of those around here! One is soooo chewed up, it's gross, but I just can't throw it out because it's their favorite!

LOL... Allen LOVES the caps from a tube of toothpaste. Harry LOVES my pony tail holders. Pouncer goes nuts for milk jug rings. Abby will do ANYTHING to get her pawson my art erasers (the kneeded kind are the best according to Abby). Why do we waste all that money on toys when the best stuff is free?

Mine too! I buy them catnippy mouses by the tons and all they want to play with is water bottle rings!

That's so cute! Christa, your Brodie sounds like just about all of my cats at one time or another. Anything that doesn't seem like a toy - a top off a can of mousse or face cleanser, straws, milk caps, bread ties, boxes of varying sizes, ribbons, Christmas ornaments (one got busted under the bookcase last Christmas by Bailey or Leila), paper bags, chapstick, pens, pencils, hiliters - you name it, if it's something you didn't buy for them and it is fun to carry around or whip across the floor or hide in, they're there (especially Bailey and Claudia - Claudia thinks everything is a toy)!

I learned the hard way not to keep anything small and valuable out where they can get to it when I'm not around. One time I was in the shower and I sat my wedding ring on the bathroom counter as I often did b/c I don't shower with it b/c I don't want the diamonds messed up - I got out, and it was nowhere to be seen! At the time, we only had Bailey & Leila, and I think Leila was sleeping - Bailey had been in the bathroom while I was showering, as he often likes to do, and I didn't see him do it, but somehow he managed to carry my wedding ring in his mouth to the front room, not far away, and play with it till he got it stuck under the barrister bookcase, where they stick a lot of toys, etc. Luckily, I could easily fish it out and didn't have a lost ring. Needless to say, since then, I put it in a drawer or on a ring tree while I'm showering or not wearing it! That was scary! My husband takes off his ring when he's cooking turkey meatballs or turkey burgers or something messy for his hands in the kitchen, and he gives me his ring to hide away from the cats while he's in there, just b/c we're paranoid now!
