My dog dosen't play but my cat loves to play and her favorite toy is a Zip Tie. I hold it by the pointy tip part and get it bouncing up and down while saying - bonga bonga bonga. It drives her crazy because I can easilly change the speed of the up and down motion so it becomes a real challenge for her to hit it. Cheers!
It depends on what day it is. Today it’s a moose. Yesterday it was a duck.
My dog has lots of toys - 3 partially stuffed moose (he’s removing their stuffing a bit at a time), 5 hedgehogs (3 large, 2 small), 2 squeaky ducks, 2 stuffed “worms”, 1 stuffed blue dog, 1 giant stuffed brown dog, and a hot dog. He knows each one of them by name and keeps them in a plastic box under the stand my pineapple plants sit on. Sometimes he’ll put one away and get another, other times he’ll pile them up all around him. Sometimes he’ll carefully go through the entire box looking for “just the right one”.
My old cat likes a small mouse and a small worm. He too has myriads of toys that he keeps them behind the recliner in his “panther pad” (I put them in a box for him, but he always dumps them out). He rubs on worm, but holds onto mouse.
My little cat doesn’t care about toys, although he will curl up and go to sleep around one of the dog’s toys if it’s nearby (not sure if he’s cuddling or just trying to rile the dog).
