Jet Puffed Toys?

The marshmallow is a confection, that is a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, water, gelatin, dextrose, flavorings - all whipped to a spongy consistency.

This definition does not say anything about a marshmallow being a cat toy.

However at our house, right now - a dried up mini-marshmallow is the toy of choice among the cats living with us. They are quite animated - jumping, pouncing, running, patting, swatting......

Engineers work countless hours to design cat toys full of catnip - all kinds of creative things. The walls at the Pet supply store are stocked full of them. Most costing $5.00 or more each!

However, our two cats, who have a box full of various cat toys, prefer only a dried up marshmallow, the milk ring off the gallon jug, a cardboard box lid and an occasional mousie.

Dried up marshmallows...........who would have thought........

    Ours will actually dig through the trash to find milk rings. Even if they were no where to be found when I actually threw it away. Haven't tried marshmellows though...
