A local tabby has once again rejected his owners attempts to wrangle him into playing with cat toys, in favour of batting around a hair tie that was accidentally dropped on the floor.

Mikey or ‘Shit Biscuits’ as he’s affectionately nicknamed, is said to have been gifted at least $50 worth of toys designed specifically for felines, including a little mouse, a bell ball and a feathery wand, which he’s said to have enjoyed for roughly ‘five minutes’ before growing bored.

However, for some strange reason, Mikey is ‘absolutely transfixed’ on his owner’s hair accessories. In particular, hair ties and bobby pins.

“I do have a bad habit of leaving hair ties around”, admits Mikey’s owner, Sarah, “but now I’m always losing them, because he ends up swatting them all under the couch.”

Sarah adds that Mikey pretty much goes for anything other than his toys.

“Loves cardboard boxes, paper, pens. The plastic ring from a milk bottle.”

“He really doesn’t cost much to entertain.”

More to come.
