One of our younger cats, Pandora (just turned a year old -- not quite a kitten anymore!) has developed this strange affection for aluminum foil balls. And even more than that, she's actually started playing "fetch" with them! We toss the ball down the hallway, she bounds after it, and she actually brings it back! Well, usually. Very strange behavior for a cat.

My brother's cat does the same thing with elastic hair-bands. Runs after it, snags it up and returns with his tail high, dropping the band at your feet. It's like he's going to say "Care to do it again? Or would you like to play a game of chess?"

Cats playing fetch is not in and of itself odd. My parents have six cats, and several of them have happily chased a paper ball, picked it up in their mouths, trotted back with it, dropped it on the floor in front of me, and then looked up at me with their huge eyes. But it's not something they do reliably. More often than not, they'll leave the paper ball alone once they've batted it around a bit.

As far as I know. Only, it apparently will start the story over from where the show started, and do it all differently.
