  1. My sister’s cat loves paper bags and boxes. The only toys she gets are the little balls with bells inside, and even then, she rolls the balls into a bag or a box, and ends up playing in the bag/box. XD

  2. hahaha SO TRUE. I’ve given up. If it’s not the bag, it’s a box, if it’s not the box then it’s the packing peanuts… They even like the plastic bags, scaring me to death hiding inside. I feel like they’re going to suffocate, but when I take it away they’re like so sad. I’m there handing them catnip toys and squeaky toys and even robotic mice, and they don’t touch them. Instead, one’s licking the lotion off my legs and the other is going full-on psycho on the stairs without a whiff of catnip. Now I just find them a box and let them have at it. It’s much less expensive, and a lot less annoying when they play with that because that’s what I bought it for. 🙂 Nice post!

  3. man, presents for babies are the same way… nothing’s better than the packing peanuts.the only toy our cat really liked was a fish-on-a-wand with an elastic band.  It chased that thing until it finally broke it… and now carries around the fish like a stuffed animal.

  4. hahaha. whats funny is something like this happened to me. the box that had my cats things is now where he sleeps every night! cats are just those independent ones that go left when you want them to go right. those rebels!
