uncommon objects your pet loves

Try as I may, I can't think of a single uncommon object that my darling cat likes, chai.

Now, if you asked about uncommon habits ....

Our late cat Kiwi appropriated a small stuffed tiger belonging to one of ours sons. She would carry it around, fight with it, throw it around, and a couple of times I caught her grooming it. If you threw it, she would chase it. We buried it with her.

I had a dog that liked my leg.....a lot.....too much in fact.

Just thought of something!
(Thanks for reminding me of dear departed critters, Tai.)
We had this delightful little cat called Mouse. When no one was home, she loved to get stuck into my jewelery ... so when I got home there'd be this trail of earrings, etc, all along the passage, from the bedroom to the kitchen. I would have loved to have seen her at it! I always wondered why?

My cat Simi had a stuffed baby penguin, named Felice.
It's with her in the back yard too.


When I went away to college, my parents got a cat, Sheba.
She adopted a dress shirt, still in the plastic packaging.
She'd carry it all over the house with her.

Mr Flash Gordon loves rubber bands.
Not just to throw around. He will chew them. Like bubble gum.

If he finds a rubber band on the ground the first thing he does is lick it and lick it and lick it and lick it..... he can do this for 20 -30 minutes I kid you not.

Then when he is done 'flirting ' with it, the relationship gets more intense.

He grabs it, finds a place to lay down, gets it over his paw and chews on a piece of it like a dog with a bone.

He doesnt EAT it deliberately.. he just lays there and chews. I think he loves the feel of the rubber. It isnt the taste. I have seen him spit out big pieces.

You can almost watch his mouth push down and bounce back, as if that is the experience he just enjoys. If you gave him an entire box of rubber bands I bet he would forget to eat his food he loves those things SO much.

oh.
and then there is my blue bathrobe


apparently when I am not wearing it, its his girlfriend..

MY less than a year old female kitten likes worms and she brings at least one in the house every night.
The sponge is so cute, good description of a silly dog.

yeah, my leopard bathrobe is rolands wife.

not an unusual thing, but roland also loves rubber mice, like you get from party city. same principle as the rubber band....texture.

I'll find mice with half bodies, no heads....the tails always missing.
they're good for playing fetch too.
I'll have to say, he's considerate of his mice in some ways, like if they get thirsty.

I used to think he just accidently flipped them into his water bowl. Then, one day I watched him pick up a mouse, walk over to the commode, get up on his hind legs and gently dropped the mouse in. He watched it for a few seconds, to make sure it was drinking I guess, then moved on to his next chore.

Our Jack, a 40 lb. Boykin Spaniel, has learned to open a lower kitchen cupboard that holds all things plastic (Tupperware, etc.), pull most of it out and chew the lids. He doesn't bother any of the other cabinets and he only does this when we're away. Mr.Irish always gives him a lasting treat when we leave (rawhide thingy to chew or a bone) and always puts the TV on the Animal Planet channel. He still messes with that one cupboard LOL...I think he's telling us he doesn't approve of our leaving him alone.

One of my cats loves my daughter's backpack. If it is up, he will knock it down, kneed and and lay on it. The odd thing is - this particular cat doesn't particularly like my daughter - he is a wimp and as she is the youngest, she is too active and scary for him. He hisses at her when she gets too near. But for some reason still is attached to her backpack even though the older sister's(whom he likes more) backpack is right next to it.

hair ties.

bread twist ties, dropped into the water bowl

Damn the cat did it again last night. In the dark I stepped on a dead baby snake and vacuumed up half a dead worm under the carpet. Maybe she will grow out of this foolishness.

She will if the snakes get bigger...I had a tiger snake bite and eat a teenager cat in front of my hysterical daughter, inside the house...I had a python eat the kids two guines pigs in the back yard....Oz, the land of snakes.

Twist ties are popular here, too. Not really love objects, though. Just toys.

Dogs seem more likely to develope serious affairs with objects that cats, in my observation. That, or maybe feline love is a little on the rough side.

I used to have a cat who loved those milk rings.

When you pull the tab off the top of a milk jug? that . She would go nuts for it

I had a Jack Russell who we finally gave a (real) football. He played with it for years, until finally it got really soft and "talked back." When he bit into it he would then stand back and watch it whistle as it filled up with air again.

Same dog was totally obsessed with the horse's lunge whip, he would stand in the barn and stare at it adoringly. He wanted us to sling it around so he could run and jump at it. He finally leaned how (after 2 years) to pick it up and run around cracking it. Funny.

As much as u do ?
