The surprising $2 household item cats are obsessed with

Forget expensive cat toys, this is all you need. - by Livia Gamble

In news that won’t surprise cat owners: toys are expensive.

But according to one Facebook group, all you need to entertain your cat is a bath plug.

Sharing her surprise, a cat owner wrote in the Cool Cat Group on Facebook: “I’ve spent hundreds of $$ on cat toys, but all he wants is the bath plug."

The best part is, a rubber bath plug will set you back a couple of dollars.

In reaction to the post, a surprising amount of owners have come forward revealing the same thing: their cat is obsessed with the bath plug.

"When we first moved to this home we found there was no bathtub plug. Not knowing the size we bought a multi-pack with four sizes. Mabel immediately began taking them to play in the hall. We’ve had to replace that package of plugs once and have hidden the one we use," said one user.

Another added: "Yeah sounds about right...Brooklyn takes off with my plug as well as the drain grate...found them under the couch the other week."

"Hahaha my cats have the same interest in bath plugs," said another.

Does your cat like to play with the bath plug? Or do they prefer another strange household item? Tell us in the comments!
