That tube thing is a crinkly toy that cats can hug and kick. The people who fostered Ava a few months before she came home to me included it with a few other toys.
She has ignored it for 4 years (except the fuzzy tail that I cut off, which is now her favourite comfort toy).
I couldn’t figure out why today she suddenly noticed it and even rubbed her face on it.
It’s not catnip. She doesn’t even react to catnip.
Then I remembered I sprayed Feliway cat hormones on her bed (which is above) during a storm, and I guess some of it sprayed onto this tube toy.
That confirms the spray really works 😄
