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:
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.
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.
Just like babies, cats don’t need expensive toys.
At least Brian has a girlfriend or the poor cat would be bored to death
Gizmo looks just like Minion!
Scrunched up Post-it notes. Hours of fun.
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.
This is why I never bought ny cat any toys.
Brian learned a valuable lesson, never buy cat toys
