Anybody else's kitty do this? My cats love pipe cleaners which are killed several times until they are demoted to retrieving material. Guess who is in charge of throwing them :-) They would probably love q-tips should they ever encounter one. These objects are just the right size for a kitty to handle. Niels Peter Kona will play fetch with Q-tips. I throw them, he chases after them while they are in the air, then he kills them and brings them back and puts them down at my feet. I bought some colored pipe cleaners that both my cats will spontanously start playing with. Funny how those pipe cleaners try so hard to run away from the cats. I saw Sabastian "stalk" one the other day from around the corner of an ottoman. The bright colors are nice because it makes it easier to spot them in their eventual resting places-behind the sofa, under stuffed chairs, in closets, etc. :-) |

Q-tips are perfect for cats. My oldest who doesn't bother with cat toys any
more will go crazy over a toothpick. My new kitten will steal them if she sees them in my basket! They'll carry them around in their mouths and then eventually you hope to pick them up before you have any company and they think you are a slob. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

Ok, I wasn't sure....cause my roommate's cat has no interest in them whatsoever.... so I wasn't sure how common it was... It's pretty damn cute tho, I have to say, seeing him walking around with it, and then stalking it after he leaves it somewhere.. |

I have to fold used q-tips inside the cardboard from a toilet paper roll if I don't want one of the cats to search through the bathroom garbarge and drag it all over the house! |

Lucky stiff. Our cats ignore q-tips - ball point pens are bigger and make a funny rattling noise that they seem to like. -- Dennis Carr - | I may be out of my mind, http://www.dennis.furtopia.org | But I have more fun that way. ------------------------------------+------------------------------- |

Yep! In fact I hide the used ones and try to placate Tucker with new ones
while I am busy using one. Hailey "Carrie-Lou Salter" wrote in message ...
