Cats and kittens will play with just about anything that moves.

I dont know, That is a very good question, My cats do the same thing, strange isnt it?

Answer 6

Those are my cats' favorite things to play with, too. I think they like it because they can pick it up with their paws/claws and toss it around. Plus it's fun to chew on.

Answer 7

Good QUESTion ! I too have as many cat toys as you and yet they both prefer that milk carton ring which is second only to a plastic binder-strap that our mailman uses for junk mail - go figure ! :0)

Answer 8

I think it's due to the resilient nature of the plastic itself. It always wants to curl up, so when it's played with, it "moves" for them. I'd just like to know why my cats love the actual twist-on plastic caps so much. They don't do anything half as neat as moving plastic rings.
