Your pet's favorite toy

[donco6]

My two rat terriers just got a new toy - it's a red lobster that makes bubbling noises when they squeeze it the right way. Funny as hell.

1. My cat's favorite toy is me! n/t

2. My cat likes to play with pizza crust.

He also likes to eat brussel sprouts. He might be crazy.

7. I'd love to see your cat stalk a Brussels sprout. LOL.

My dumb cats tear up my shoe laces. They can spend hours hunting the wily Doc Martens.

10. My dogs will eat anything that falls on the floor.

Making salad - carrots, peas, whatever - sometimes I "accidentally" drop something. They happily munch away on whatever it is. Crazy things.

3. I have a rat terrior, Chloe, who is the joy of my life, however, she

is a holy terror when it comes to toys. I found a large,hard rubber ball and a bone shaped hard plastic toy that she hasn't destroyed yet, but ususally a day or two is the life span of any new toys.

I love buying her new toys because she loves them and gets so excited but I hate wasting the money if she is only going to destroy them..Have you found any that have lasted a while?

[donco6]

9. Ours have their favs

that they don't destroy. We've had some that have lasted for years and years. Don't know why. Others - five minutes and they have the squeaker out.

They like smallish toys with squeaks. Anything too big and next thing you know, there's fluff all over the carpet and a "dead" body lying somewhere.

[ignatius 2]

14. Maybe I have been buying too large toys. I will try the smaller ones,

Chloe also loves the "squeakers" too much unfortunately because that is what she
usually tears out first.

She is so funny with her "babies." First thing in the morning, even before she eats she wants to play fetch. It seems like we play when she wants not the other way around.

[donco6]

17. Yes, morning is "wrassling" time.

Gracie and Greta come in and want us to get up - poke their cold noses in our face until we push them away, then they wrestle with each other. Invariably, Gracie jumps down to get a toy of some kind. They love that.

4. Used to be tug toys

At 8 1/2 years old, though, my dog Reba has outgrown her toys. She'll see them as possessions at first, and then ignore them.

5. My cats love ribbon and string.

And nothing else, no matter how appealing the salesperson at "Petcetera" makes it sound.

6. recently

my son's cat has been playing with a loofa and shredding it to smithereens. Have I inadvertantly acquired Bill O'reilleys familiar?

Or. . .is my son's cat doing some serious voodoo on him?

not sure. . .go figure. . .

8. Cat dancer

A wire with bits of cardboard rolled up at each end. For some reason cats think it's the coolest thing on Earth. To me it still looks like a wire with bits of cardboard rolled up at each end.

Cedric loves catnip but he's just an old hippie with a serious drug addiction.

Khash.

11. My Lab has a stuffed cow

that is as big as his head and used to go Moooooo if he squeezed it just right. He will carry it around now until next Christmas when he gets a new "baby". He loves his stuffed toys and will not tear them up. He is also fond of the large Sponge Bob stuffed toy that I got for our Golden who apparently was not amused by it. The little one just wants whatever toy the others are playing with and will chase them until they drop it. Smaller fuzzy toys last an hour or so but these big ones they seem to take care of.

12. My dog's favorite toy is a blue stuffed puppy with squeakers...

Bonnie who is a chocolate Lab and weighs 125 lbs. at 2 yrs. old has loved her puppy to where I had to perform brain surgery on it so it didn't have to disappear. My husband says she's insecure, but I think she just loves her earless puppy.

[donco6]

15. We have some "amputees" too

We have a stuffed frog that "ribbets" when you chew on it. Well, it used to look like a frog. Now it looks more like a round green pincushion or something. Poor thing. It's been through a lot.

[BornaDem]

22. That just proves the frog is well loved.

13. My Rats play with rodents.

[donco6]

16. Ours, too.

They catch ground squirrels up at the cabin. They will stay outside all day watching the wood piles.

[bahrbearian]

18. Do they chase birds too, my Spud Buddy, leaps in the air

and catchs sparrow's that fly too close.

[donco6]

21. I've seen them try, but never catch one.

But I'm afraid all I would find is two little bird legs lying on the porch (sniff). I could have missed them.

[ignatius 2]

20. What a beautiful dog, rat terriors are awesome. My son bought mine for me

when I was going through some hard times to cheer me up. And boy, did it work! It is darned near impossible to be sad when Chloe is around.

19. My Skunk

Has a small fish toy it plays with.
My Bird thinks my ear is his toy.
The cats love a feather duster.
Any thing for the dogs makes a toy.

23. Lizards or reptile looking stuffed animals...

Tikki likes to attack and destroy her lizard or reptile looking toys....preferably the ones with some kind of camouflage coloring.... She'll drag their little bits of leftover body parts all over the living room.
Wow, I just thought of this... she's a Chihuahua... maybe it's inborn in her.. Chi's are descendants from the Western North American deserts and all.

24. Our like their "snake", too.

Anything long is a "snake". They can even differentiate when you tell them "get the snake." They like grabbing it by the end and shaking it to death. I do think it's instinctive (ratters have some Chi in them).
