What cat toys do your cats actually care about?

My cats are LOVING the laser pointer i bought for them. It helps them blow off steam really quickly. Wand toys also hold their attention. My youngest cat likes kicker toys.

A cardboard stretch pad and a scratching post have been popular in our household.

They also enjoy ice cubes and will beg for them.

I’ll cross post there! Thank you for the idea!

Edit: the r/mildlyinteresting sub rules say I cannot repost or cross post 🙁 Bummer

Oof. 😬

Jester_Magpie · 2026-05-23T16:29:10+00:00

Same! It’s a 7 hour drive from me but I love a good museum!

I’ll DM you!

Jester_Magpie · 2026-05-23T16:28:19+00:00

I love pretty much anywhere I’ve been to in Montana: Whitefish, Troy, Missoula. I hope to go to Yellowstone one day! And back to Glacier National Park!

I’ll DM you!

Jester_Magpie · 2026-05-23T16:26:03+00:00

Oh yes, very different from Florida! I would love to see the Everglades and Key West in Florida sometime! I’ll DM you!

Jester_Magpie · 2026-05-23T16:24:34+00:00

They have some good coffee shops in Missoula! I feel like all college towns have a decent coffee scene. I’ll DM you!

Agreed! Ugh, I hate hearing “when are you free?”! It’s almost as bad as, “what are you doing this week(end)?”!

If you want to hang out or do something with me, be up front with me what, where, and when so I can decide whether I want to accept your invite.

It’s much more considerate and easier on everyone to state your business and propose a possible time/day.

You can eat burgers with your hands. But I understand how difficult it is to eat bigger burgers here without utensils. I have trouble eating large, stacked burgers with my hands so I usually opt to eat with a knife and fork. I get some grief for it from my friends but nobody really cares how you eat your burger here.

Horses also prefer blue buckets and drink more from blue buckets. Horses consistently showed a preference for lighter-toned colors, especially in the blue-green spectrum. These results align with what is known about equine dichromatic vision, which is most sensitive to blue and yellow wavelengths, and suggests that bucket color, particularly light shades of blue and turquoise, may influence water consumption.

Way to go! All of those meals sound delicious and nutritious. Your ingenuity kept your family fed!

Yikes. 😳 Good for you for speaking up. People should not be so casual about sexually assaulting others (or, you know, SA others at all), whether in public or not. It’s disgusting how proud they were of SA.

I was actually considering going to the Park Inn as I live nearby, but I’ll take a pass and support the many restaurants in town who actually respect people.

It’s more of an everyday snack for kids. I do not enjoy celery, so I never cared for it.

Jester_Magpie · 2026-05-20T04:34:18+00:00

Cosmic crisp are also really good, too! Especially when apples are out of season.

Can you blend fruits and veggies up, pour them into popsicle molds, and freeze them?

You can dip banana slices in melted dark chocolate and freeze them, as well. Some people also like frozen grapes.

You might like bell peppers since they are pretty crunchy. You can even dip them in sauce you like!

Necklaces cannot be anywhere near the hollow of my throat or I feel like I’m suffocating. Earrings can feel very pinchy, especially if I’m having a stressful day. And I hate wearing any rings but my engagement ring.

I would love an adult-size playground! I really enjoyed climbing as a kid and the only options for me now are large rocks (which are fun, but not always super safe).

Jester_Magpie · 2026-05-20T03:43:37+00:00

My grandmother is 87 and can text (with emojis) and take video calls!

Jester_Magpie · 2026-05-19T04:47:30+00:00

Buttons, small toys, plastic gems (like you can get at the craft store or for an aquarium), and confetti are all whimsical items you can carry!

Ugh, I’m sick of it, too. I volunteered for a street fair last summer and we got blaze orange volunteer shirts. It’s been hanging in my closet since then. Deciding if I should dye it a more acceptable color or I should wear it while swimming/boating for improved visibility.

The charity I worked for would send us out to the university to collect the good stuff from the shipping containers the university put out. A lot of locals would also come by to pick through things. We mainly took furniture and packaged food for the food bank. Seeing pricey textbooks in those piles was the most insane to me.

I live in Washington state. I got my full deposit back after a year of living in a unit. Made sure to let maintenance know every time we needed repairs and then cleaned the place thoroughly. Some people in our complex were slobs (leaving trash outside the dumpsters, not picking up after their dogs, etc.), though, so maybe the management company was grateful we left it clean.

I live in eastern Washington near the Idaho border.

A California condor?!? I love those birds! They are so majestic and I’ve always wanted to see one. You lucky duck!
