It doesn't resemble prey like a mouse or snake, so why do they like this cheap slice of plastic?

yup there really isn't much rhyme or reason to it. I have one cat that loves to steal rolls of electrical tape and anything velcro.

I’ve heard glues and the “anti stick” stuff on like plastic bags is really enticing for them. Not sure why.

Mine also LOVE my silicone hair ties. But they are both chewers, so they are only allowed to play with them supervised (not trying to have multiple thousands of dollars of emergency surgery to pay for). I think it’s the wiggly factor they like, or maybe it smells like me. Idk.
