I knew a cat that kept eating hair ties, went to the vet because of it.
I was lucky and found my cat had just swallowed most of one after breaking it. Had to reach into her mouth and pull it out. D:
Keep a count of the ones you have, just in case. And keep them tucked away. My cat was an addict. She’s fine now but would still eat more in a heartbeat. I can’t even blame her, they’re SO FUN! And chompy! But bad for tummies.
My cat did too. They endoscoped 30 hair ties out of her stomach. They’re no longer allowed in our home. And I’m always checking if she finds something to play with. The only cat we’ve had that did it, and who bites, too. And yet she’ll let her food sit around in the bowl until she feels like eating. It’s a prey thing, I think.
I keep on buying stuff because his favorite toys are receipts.
I think he might just enjoy getting money spent on him. Some people are like that
We eventually stopped buying toys for our cats. One cat’s favorite toy is dried leaves. The other can’t get enough of twist ties twisted into a loop
Cat is happy, life is good, all is right with the world.

My giant cat tree came in a cardboard box meant to be cut out into cat house. My cat enjoys the tree and the box equally

My sisters cat goes fucking crazy for these cat toy springs. Anything else she gets bored of quickly but the springs? Never.
She’ll put them in difficult to get to spots before trying to get them back, she’ll fling them across the room, and she’ll hide them wherever she can. Maybe the goblin will just hold it in her mouth while she walks. Once we found a spring in a box of rice. She just kinda dropped it in and we didn’t notice until it came out
Omg there’s a gap under my oven that’s just big enough for the springs. I pulled the oven out from the wall and I found hoards of the plastic springs forgotten there.
PSA: Don’t let your cats have hair ties! If you can, consider switching to something bulkier like scrunchies or claw clips.
Hair ties are one of the most common things vets have to remove from cats’ stomachs.
I buy biodegradable and digestible hair ties for this exact reason. Mostly bamboo ones.
They suck as hair ties and last a fraction as long. But they won’t fuck with my cat.
Just like babies, cats don’t need expensive toys.
give them cardboard boxes and a dollar store laser pointer.
Gizmo looks just like Minion!
At least Brian has a girlfriend or the poor cat would be bored to death

Gizmo is trolling Bryan. He will eventually use all of his new toys during the rest of his life. Give him time.
My cat loves the simplest things too. Like a beer bottle cork or the plant ring on a glass of milk.
The cat tree I have now is the first one ever to not just be ignored and it was dirt cheap from k-mart so I wouldn’t mind throwing it out.
Scrunched up Post-it notes. Hours of fun.
