My Cats' Favorite "Toys"

Many may seem unconventional, but I am sure that tons of cat owners will agree their little felines go bezerk for these ridiculous "toys."

My Cats' Favorite "Toys"

In This Article:

I have had several cats, and these are what I have found to be their favorite toys. I have yet to find any toys that my new kitty Antifa likes, but my cats that are with my parents, Zazzles and Timber, really like to claim random items as their own toys whether or not we want them to.

​Tiny Mouse Toy

Starting on an ordinary note, you can find these under the couch in pretty much every cat owner's house. Zazzles and Timber's favorite ones are the little fluffy ones and aren't the biggest fans of the plastic-y ones.

Feather "Teasers"

I'm not going to lie, I had no idea they were called this until I had to look up what they are called, but they are a huge hit with my cats in the past. Zazzles will drag her feathers across the entire house and up the stairs just to leave it at your feet as an 'offering.'

Toys Containing Catnip

The only toy that Antifa actually plays with is her banana that is stuffed with catnip. Catnip is always a hit with my cats, but that's not a surprise; cats like to get lit too.

Receipts

Why spend money on cat toys when you can just crumple up receipts, am I right?

When my mom balances the checkbook, she crumples up the receipts after writing them down, and Zazzles goes nuts for it; she has so many toys yet we will find these all over the place.

Various Insects

Spooky spider Zazzles bothers

It is so funny watching Zazzels play with spiders, flies and whatever other bugs she finds; she literally just plays with them. She'll bat them around and will repeatedly pick them up in her mouth and drop them, but her gentle little soul never kills them (as much as the bug probably wishes she would after 10 minutes of enduring that). She'll sometimes bring them to my mom as a special gift which mom does not exactly appreciate but... oh well.

Plastic Easter Eggs

Plastic Easter Eggs

No matter what time of the year it is, I will always find a couple of these hidden under the couch or hidden among Zazzles' and Timber's other toys. I don't have the heart to take them away from them so... they belong to them now.

Christmas Baubles

Christmas Baubles

My cats may bat at the low hanging baubles on the Christmas tree, but most of the time I see Zazzles playing with these is anytime but the holiday season.

Rubber Bands

My least favorite cat toy

I get pretty stressed when I see rubber bands on the floor in the house since they are choking hazards, but regardless of how I feel or where we hide them, my kitties always seen to manage to find and play with them.

My Heart

Me and Zazzles

Avianna Raupach

All of my cats do have one toy they all equally love: my heart. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ How could I not include this?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
