What a beautiful black & white kitty you have. Ellen says they are the smartest! I have to admit I was worried when I read that she likes to play with hairbands because it is quite dangerous. Any toy that can fit in their mouth completely can choke them - especially string, elastic, wool, etc. And because their tongues are so sandpaper-ish they just keep swallowing it and cannot pull the string/wool/elastic out of their mouths. I am sure you can find something she will like just as much that isn't dangerous, so that you will enjoy many years of love and fun.
