Plastic Bottle Caps as Cat Toys

My four cats were constantly losing their store bought toys under the appliances and furniture, and down the basement stairs. One day I realized they got the exact same amount of joy chasing a plastic bottle cap around. Milk cap, soda cap, water cap, it doesn't matter. They don't cost me anything that I wouldn't have spent anyway and because I can replace them constantly, they always have a fresh scent. Cats tend to get bored with something that smells familiar. Once a week, I scoop all of them up that I find and start all over again.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL about what your cats play with. A few years ago, my cat got very sick with a bowel obstruction. We spent about $1,600 on veterinary care - including X-rays, surgery and 2 or 3 trips into the big city to the animal hospital at the university vet school - all because my cat found a plastic ring from a gallon milk jug, chewed on it and SWALLOWED it.

My cat likes playing with the tab that you tear off milk containers. She also found a piece of a PVC pipe loves that too. One day she stole a powder puff and loves to bat it around!
