Wiggles Favorite Toy

One of Wiggles favorite toys is a black ponytail holder (or hairband (or whatever else you call it)). Of course it used to be mine, but I generously gave it to Wiggles.

He is so cute when he plays with it. He bats it around on the tile with his paws, he picks it up in his mouth & carries it places, he gets it stuck on his paw & shakes frantically trying to get it off.

Over the years we tried to buy Tyler those fancy mouse toys from the pet stores, or the jingle balls, or the crinkle balls with catnip, but Tyler never liked anything more than chasing a string or batting at one that was hanging above him. At one point in another house I took a piece of dental floss, tied one end to the chain on my ceiling fan and on the other end I tied a fringed bookmark I had made. Tyler would play with that thing for so long, chasing it batting at it. Then when he'd get tired he'd lie down and bat at it.

Wiggles & Tyler are/were pretty easy when it comes to toys. They're resourceful and find toys of their own, whether or not they find something I want them to play with is a different story.

If you're cat has a favorite toy (unusual or boring, doesn't matter), please comment. I would LOVE to hear!!
