Kalista, My Cat, Loves Playing with Paper Towel Rolls (Cute Cat Story)

January 11, 2019 By Johnny Salib 8 Comments

Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers,

It’s no secret that Kalista is an extremely playful cat and although she’s getting closer and closer to being a one year old, I don’t see her slowing down anytime soon. Kalista has a number of favourite toys, but this week we discovered she has an obsession with paper towel rolls.

We were already aware that Kalista loved cardboard, especially because no cardboard box has ever survived in the apartment since adopting her, but we didn’t realize how nuts she would go over paper towel rolls.

We’ve been saving a number of toilet paper and paper towel rolls to try to make toys for Kalista and Beau, however, it seems like Kalista beat us to it and already stole 3 paper towel rolls from the collection.

The past two days I’ve been waking up to Kalista running around with the rolls, attacking them, chewing on them, ripping them apart and the cutest… carrying them from room to room and placing them in front of us.

I’m glad to see that even though Kalista is an indoor cat, she still has the wild hunter inside of her… now we just have to clean up more often!

How about you folks? What other household objects do your cats love to play with? I’d love to hear about them and even try them with Kalista!

    My sister has a cat that loves plastic straws. I know if the straw is missing, he has it. He’ll bat it around then carry it around. Funniest is when he goes to my sister with the straw in his mouth and meows around it without dropping it.

      Oh my gosh that’s adorable! We don’t use plastic straws in our household… but it makes me curious if our cats would enjoy them

    I used to make cat toys out of the rolls – but then I realized Bear prefers them whole. He’s all over it when it’s new … but give it a few days and he’ll never touch it again!

    My cat Sheba loves to dig one piece of cat food out of the dish and bat it around the kitchen. Her mom Hello loves a crumpled paper ball to fetch and chase. They do play with cat toys, but they love the simple things best. At least these toys are free! 😹😸😻

      Beau sometimes used to do that, but then we got him a feeder that forced him to scoop out kibble one by one. If it skid across the floor even by the slightest he’d start playing soccer! I haven’t played with paper balls before, which is surprising since it’s such a simple toy, but we’ve had them play with tin foil, which is also a huge hit.

      I agree, I love it when they will play with free toys! Definitely saves my wallet.

    Water bottle tops, whole walnut, and my winter hat, just to name a few items that are found scattered around the house, plus the pieces of cardboard boxes that are ripped/chewed by the cats! Am pretty sure they haven’t gotten any cardboard rolls, however…we’ll give that a try!

      I want to try the walnut! I feel like that would be a big winner in our house. Have you tried corks? Those are also a huge winner for us.
