My glasses and many other things of mine... Tinkerbell steals them and hides my things in her cubby hole. That's where I go to look for all my stuff she steals from me.

Weird household objects as toys

That story was so cute.
Some great stories here! My four are pretty typical except for one item. My husband was really into magic when he was a kid and he had this weird fur thing with a spring in it that was supposed to look like an animal. Almost like a puppet but no strings and your hand doesn't go in it, you just manipulate the spring. Chloe love/hates that puppet because when it comes out she will first run up to it and rub her face all over it, carry it around, nuzzle it - and then suddenly grab it by its neck and shake it like crazy, throw it in the air, swat it. Never have seen her do that behavior with anything else.
I got edible cat nip bubbles for my cats. One loves them and the other is afraid of them
Mogli has discovered that clothes pins make great cat toys. 
Tinkerbell does this same thing with small soft toys at night only. She meows during this ritual but otherwise I never hear a word out of her any other time. She was spayed at 4 months old but what she does though looks a whole lot like her carrying a baby kitty around at night. Cat's are just wonderful to try to figure out.
Ive got a 10 week old kitten, so it could just be because of his young age, but he LOVES any type of bag, mechanical pencils and/or pens, my laptop charger, water bottles, and anything that rolls. My older cat loves anything rubber, and hair ties. And when he was a kitten, he used to take money, (paper money, by the way) and put it in his litter box.
I don't think it is because of his young age. Sheba loves the same things and she is probably 6 1/2. S&S turned her back into a kitten.

Rin loves ice cubes. Anytime she hears us at the freezer ice machine she is right at our feet waiting for one along with Buddy my parents dog. She likes to bat them around then carries them in her mouth into the front room where she plays a little while longer. Usually she picks them up with her teeth and drops them into a shoe when she's done which sucks for my dad as they're his shoes most of the time lol.
Sometimes she just leaves them in the middle of the floor and we step in them, that is if the dog doesn't find them and eat them first. . .
Also we find socks, underwear, gloves, towels, shirts and other things all over the kitchen, living room and sometimes the stairs. My parents cat Mama is usually the one that drags them out at night once the lights are out and we're all in bed, recently though I saw Rin with a glove so I know she's doing it as well lol.

Rin loves bags to, I have to keep an eye on her around them. I actually kicked an empty 12 pack soda box once without thinking and she was in it, I felt so bad. She likes being pushed around in boxes as well.
Does your cat ever try and run off with an item when he sees you coming to take it away?
My tweezers are missing...

:lol3: That's par for the course around here.
I found a metal cap on the floor of the study about two weeks ago and couldn't figure out where it came from. When I got home from school this afternoon, Mogli was squeaking and pawing at the hinge of the balcony door in the spare bedroom. So that's where the cap was from - the bottom of the hinge of the door in the study!
Poor little Mogli, he simply doesn't have enough toys - not!
Demon likes QTips and straws. He steals them every chance he gets. Vi just thinks I am a toy.
OMG! We went to Family Dollar and I know Thunder is the one who went under the bathroom sink and retrieved my brand new pack of hair ties and strung them all over the bedroom floor. Bella has never gotten under that sink that I know of. So the blame is on Thunder in my opinion. I may have to set up a camera sometime.

My kitten loves bottle caps, she throws then up in the air, pushes them all around the house, an carries then from room to room. They last for a long time and are very inexpensive

A sponge! Not sure if it was because it smells like food or is actually fun to play with.
lol love this. Put her on the show!
My cat does this with a dog toy from dollarama.. It is the kind you put a empty water bottle in.. fuzzy with a tail and looks like a fox or something. he hits the ceiling when he throws it sometimes O.O
