    They also like ponytail holders; my mom got a pack of neon-colored ones at the dollar store. (Doesn't stop them from stealing mine when I stay there, though...sometimes right out of my hair). And straws. We discovered this when they were little and the girl knocked the pea she was playing soccer with into a spot she couldn't reach into. I couldn't get it so I used a bendy straw to pull it out. They spent the rest of the night playing with the straw. Just watch for when they start to get chewed up.
    Our cat has all kinds of toys. His three favorite things to play with are open paper bags, q-tips he's stolen out of the trash, and his fish-on-a-string I bought off Amazon (which sucks because it's on an elastic string and frequently hits me in the face).

      Taz does this. She'll climb on anything to get my scrunchies. I find them around the house from time to time, the ones I haven't realized she's gotten.

      Taz has lots of toys, and like GK's cat she enjoys open boxes and bags as playthings. However, I do try to set aside time every day to play with her and engage her. It takes about 15 minutes to wear her out. I agree with the crowd voting the OPs cat is bored. Taz will sometimes get a little rough with play biting (which I know I should discourage, but I kind of enjoy it). I like to move my hand under a blanket and let her pounce on it. She'll do that for quite awhile if I let her.

      She has a cat tree and likes to stare out in the back yard.

      She LOVES Meercat Manor and Animal Cops. She'll be captivated by the TV if I have a show she likes on.

        There are a ton of toys in my house, but one of my cats absolutely love crumpled up paper. Doesn't matter what kind or how big. He will run from where he is sleeping if I crumple up a piece of paper.

          I stayed at my parents' for a few weeks before Christmas while my bathroom was undergoing emergency renovation, and one of my ponytail holders went missing from the guest room. I'm pretty sure the boy stole it but I never did find it.

          He likes to lay on his back, just inviting someone to come along and rub his belly. But he doesn't like to have his belly rubbed. He'll tolerate it for several seconds and then he starts biting at you. But it's irresistable (Pablo the Chihuahua, on the other hand, loved having his belly rubbed but wouldn't lay on his back for it. He would stand up and arch his back so you could get your hand under him instead. If you turned him over on his back he would freeze like a deer in headlights until you loosened your grip so he could flip back over.)
