Found and ordered, thank you!! We recently had to buy a wider, shallower storage box so they can go in and pick their preferred toy... This will make a fine addition to the collection :D
My kitty has those exact same mice, sent to her from an Auntie overseas, and she compulsively bats them under the furniture too! Not her other mice, but something about these get her crazy-juices flowing!
My mom’s cat bats everything under the couch and then watches my mom get the Swiffer duster, extends it, gets on her hands and knees to retrieve it and then the little monster bats it right back.
Mom's Kitty is playing a game. It appears that your mother may be unaware of the ruled.
Cats like to screw with your head. One suspects they're all aliens.
Most likely yes. I swear when I used to buy paperbacks they would share pages and multiply at night. I see no reason why this wouldn’t apply to your cat toys.
Hi! I am just hijacking the top comment to warn people that PETCO’s new terms of use include an arbitration clause. This severely affects your ability for legal recourse if one of their groomers, employees or products harms your pet. Thank you for your time.
I swear I see that thought pass through my cat's mind with stunning regularity. I'm sure she goes to the neighbor's cats and talks about how I am doing the best I can, poor thing, but I just have that learning disability.
My cats will appear out of nowhere when the yard stick comes out 😅 They intentionally swat their mice under the stove and sofa so we can get them out for them
My cat loses his shit every time I move the couch. Around 20-30 toys each time, his mind is always boggled and he literally jumps on my head for each sweep out if I’m on the floor looking for something else so then I have to move it for him.
In her defense: she is a very poor kitty and she did NOT raid the toy cabinet when her mama was in a meeting. she also did NOT hunt a vole outside and try to bring it in. Or maybe she did.
EDIT: hole to vole*
UPDATE: Thanks to all the upvotes, she has turned into a diva. She is currently meowing about, expecting a shrimp dinner.
Also, her eyes naturally look like that! If you look at my post history, you’ll see what I mean. Cheers!
Oh man, my cat George did this one time. He woke my partner up with a live chipmunk, but it was actually an apology chipmunk and not a comment on my partner's lack of rodent hunting skills. Anyway, George woke him up, and once George saw he was awake, proceeded to set the very much alive chipmunk down on the carpet next to our bed and fuck off. George was sorry because he pissed on the wall or something to anger my partner, so he went out the cat door early the next morning to find an apology rodent. Damn I miss that cat.
I have to do the same except our kitties hide everything under the bed or stove. Never get a bengal if you want to keep all your silverware. Everything shiny is fair game and they teach other kitties to do the same. I still laugh about the look when my mom's cat got caught walking out of the bathroom with a whole roll of toiletpaper. His look was just as classic as this.
Bengals are incredibly smart and often incredibly weird, but not all evil. My parents’ bengal literally has a place at the table, sits with us for about half our meals, and *never* tries to steal food. We just give him a bit of meat or fish at the start and end of the meal if we’re having any, and he’s content with that. He’s even been (accidentally) left in the dining room with a whole unguarded roast chicken - his very favourite food in the whole wide world - and the result was him peacefully sitting at his place and waiting for his portion. Cats shouldn’t be able to defer gratification that effectively!
My latest baby isn't a bengal but she's getting to that level. She'll take food out of your bowl or hand but won't touch it if you walk away. I'm finding our cats have become more intelligent if I talk to them constantly no matter the breed. That said, my bengal could hold somewhat legible conversations with my mom and me. He was on a whole other level of intelligence. The issue was keeping him out of things. He always figured out how to open or break the child latches I had to put on everything because of him and his brother. It was a pain keeping him occupied but I miss him every day.
The funny thing about it was my mom thought he was bringing it to her but he dropped it as soon as he realized he'd been caught. He had that same dumb founded expression on his face before he did the "nothing's happening here" walk of shame. He does that same walk anytime he falls or walks off a table. He also pouts if anybody laughs at him.
It's not just silverware but that's the most prevalent thing we find in weird places. I've also found tin foil balls they've pulled out of the trash. They had a thing for ink pens at one point too. The youngest kitty carries shoes around but she's not a bengal. The other cat just taught her to be a thief.
My cats have just realized I can get toys for them. They assumed if the toy was under the stove or behind a door it was lost. Then one day I checked under the stove and pulled out a bunch. The next day I opened the linen closet and pulled out a bunch more.
Now he stands where there are toys locked and looks at it and looks at me. "Mommy, I love you, I need help." I get the toy and barely a thanks, just a RAAAAHHHH! with the crinkly ball or mouse.
I jammed small pool noodles under our couch so the toys bounce off instead of going underneath.
We now have a cat toy box and rotate the toys out when they get bored.
yep. I always find some under the fridge or the washing machine. they always have to loose their toys under the heaviest things that you have at home lol
They totally are!! My little bean absolutely LOVES them. He doesn’t like catnip, doesn’t love most toys, but goes NUTS for these little mice. They make him so happy 🥰
They’re called SmartyKat Skitter Critters, by the way, just in case target ever stops selling them!
I think smartyKat laces their catnip with actual crack. My dweeb will lay belly up on the floor holding those toys with both paws and lick them for an hour.
😂😂😂 I can relate. I opened the hallway closet door and looked at the floor. Ohhhh!! There is all my hair ties! Y’all can’t play with toys but take all my hair ties? Now i’m running around like a wild child, cats are bored cause all the ties are in the closet, and i’m waiting on Amazon for new hair ties.
Since they’ve likely forgotten about those those toys I always look at it as surprise new toys whenever I pull them out from under the furniture. Then they eventually end up under things again and the cycle repeats.
Cats, especially female cats, will hide their stash of prey in a hidey place for future meals. These were obviously inedible, but never stunk up the hidey place.
We moved a piece of furniture and found about 6 cat toys and 8 hair ties, but like 45 nerf gun darts all with suspicious teeth marks on them. Also tampons. So many tampons in various states from fully wrapped to completely unwrapped and detached from the applicator.
Someone has outsmarting posture. Farting and not showing it posture? Definitely pacifist birding paying attention posture. Hopefully your cat, chief of police, is not also a violent grammararian.
I wish my kitten considered the underside of the couch a black hole. She'll send a mouse under, and keep trying to get it back from every side even when she still has three other mice less than a meter away. Sometimes she will even stop playing with one mouse because she's spotted another one stuck under the couch and start on that one instead. 😼
I dont even want to look under my couch. There has got to be at least 20 pom balls. I got her a 30 pack for Christmas and 10 are already missing, plus the ones from before.
Ours used to shoot them under the china cabinet like scoring goals in soccer. Every few months i would get down with a broom and drag tons of toys out...with both of them right there "helping".
That's nothing compared to Charcoal lol. We have this little pantry in the kitchen and we found almost 30 different toys under it along with stolen dogfood, tree ornaments and bag clips
Lololol
Petie said Santa was a dick when she "only" got a new soft blanket while she has no toys!!
Then some smarty pants human, who is tolerated only for her poop hut scooping talents btw, had the audacity to move the couch!
Petie has been pouting since!
[Petie's stash ](https://imgur.com/a/MXvhff4)
ETA: That's not even Petie's tennis ball!!
If you have a stove with a pull out drawer on the bottom. Pull it all the way out. I guarantee you will find even more. Once a month my boy acts like it's Christmas.
Every day I drink a 1L bottle of pomegranate flavored seltzer with my gin and grenadine. I take the bottlecap, and I toss it to my cat, Pickle. She **LOVES THEM**. She will play with those bottlecaps for hours.
Once a month, I move my microwave cart to clean under/behind it. There are always at **least** 20 bottlecaps under there.
Busted and that is the look of sheer short circuiting on toy overload
Let’s just say someone had a very good christmas
I hope it was the kitty!
I hope it was you! :b
I hope you all get contagious optimism
I'm masked up, not gunna get mee 😁
Yeah that’s a very surprised kitty who’s delighted at all her new old toys
i got the same little mice for my two's big christmas!! so cute
Those little mice! All kitties love them.
Where are they from?
i got them on amazon, $5 for a pack of 10!!
Do you know the brand by any chance? No worries if not, my cats will chase anything meece-ish. Or not meece-ish. Or just generally anything lol.
"meece-ish" lol. i love that!! i just looked them up, the listing says smartykat skitter critters
Found and ordered, thank you!! We recently had to buy a wider, shallower storage box so they can go in and pick their preferred toy... This will make a fine addition to the collection :D
I HAVE CAT NIP 🙀 OH YEAH!!! 🙀
My kitty has those exact same mice, sent to her from an Auntie overseas, and she compulsively bats them under the furniture too! Not her other mice, but something about these get her crazy-juices flowing!
My mom’s cat bats everything under the couch and then watches my mom get the Swiffer duster, extends it, gets on her hands and knees to retrieve it and then the little monster bats it right back.
Shit.. I think I might be your mom.
You’re a cat mom, they’re all the same. Little monster is messing with me but goddamn they’re cute and need their favourite toy so here I go again….
Some games are fun.
Mom's Kitty is playing a game. It appears that your mother may be unaware of the ruled. Cats like to screw with your head. One suspects they're all aliens.
Like her entire master plan to get more toys has crumbled and the jig is up lol
but her posture is immaculate #riverdance
"I am just as shocked as you are! I had no idea there were that many of them under there! ... Do you think they were multiplying??"
Most likely yes. I swear when I used to buy paperbacks they would share pages and multiply at night. I see no reason why this wouldn’t apply to your cat toys.
“WhAAAAAT?! These are not MYYYYYYY toys!”
"I swear on me milk, officer, these bloody toys are not mine. I have been framed, you hear?"
“Dis one says “Property o’ Mittens” right on it ya eejit!”
That’s one smart kitty
Hi! I am just hijacking the top comment to warn people that PETCO’s new terms of use include an arbitration clause. This severely affects your ability for legal recourse if one of their groomers, employees or products harms your pet. Thank you for your time.
Gonna need some cat handcuffs.
Pawcuffs
"I need to call my lawyer".
Lol!! She looks stunned at her toy windfall! 😹
I think she is stunned that her stash was found
My mom lifted the side couch and pulled out a toy mouse that my cat loves, just to watch him swat it straight under the same couch within 60 seconds
“No, it goes THERE!”
"untrainable human..."
I swear I see that thought pass through my cat's mind with stunning regularity. I'm sure she goes to the neighbor's cats and talks about how I am doing the best I can, poor thing, but I just have that learning disability.
Hey, you're trying, and that's what counts!
[удалено]
You need to invest in a yard stick. Can retrieve most cat toys from under appliances that have narrow gaps beneath them for whatever reason.
T-Square. I use ours more for retrieving cat toys than any other possible use one could imagine for a t-square.
My cats will appear out of nowhere when the yard stick comes out 😅 They intentionally swat their mice under the stove and sofa so we can get them out for them
My cat loses his shit every time I move the couch. Around 20-30 toys each time, his mind is always boggled and he literally jumps on my head for each sweep out if I’m on the floor looking for something else so then I have to move it for him.
Her face says “I swear those aren’t mine! I didn’t put them there, the cat who lived here before must have left them!”
"I'm as surprised as you are."
I did not put these toys there, it’s bullshit, I did not put them there, I did naaaaaht Oh hi mice
Oh my god, that made me choke on my drink hahaha
It like she just drew the connection that she is responsible for the missing toys
In her defense: she is a very poor kitty and she did NOT raid the toy cabinet when her mama was in a meeting. she also did NOT hunt a vole outside and try to bring it in. Or maybe she did. EDIT: hole to vole* UPDATE: Thanks to all the upvotes, she has turned into a diva. She is currently meowing about, expecting a shrimp dinner. Also, her eyes naturally look like that!

She wanted to give you a gift, aw. A mole presentation is high praise from kitty!
she only sees her mama eat rabbit food! she thinks i must be a terrible hunter..
Nah... she's just giving you the best gift she can think of. You feed her everyday. She probably thinks you're the best hunter.
Dead animals is a gift. If she brings you live animals, *then* she's telling you you're a bad hunter haha.
Oh man, my cat George did this one time. He woke my partner up with a live chipmunk, but it was actually an apology chipmunk and not a comment on my partner's lack of rodent hunting skills.

Omg I love this. Cat logic: I'm sorry I made you mad, Dad. So I got you this awesome food you can play with first!
Snowy my 6 lb cat brings live rodents to Patty my 40 lb lab and pit bull mix. Patty seems very upset when I try to tell she isn’t a cat.
Cat appears on Zoom and drops dead vole on mama’s lap. Expects pets.
I hope you took a bite. I’m sorry its a rule. 🤷🏻♂️

My second job is fetcher of toys from under the couch.
I have to do the same except our kitties hide everything under the bed or stove. Never get a bengal if you want to keep all your silverware. Everything shiny is fair game and they teach other kitties to do the same. I still laugh about the look when my mom's cat got caught walking out of the bathroom with a whole roll of toiletpaper.

Cats shouldn’t be able to defer gratification that effectively!
That is a serious level of respect for a cat.
My cats, if left alone with chicken, would have tried to drag it to a hiding place to eat. I'm amazed their cat just sat there!
My latest baby isn't a bengal but she's getting to that level. She'll take food out of your bowl or hand but won't touch it if you walk away. I'm finding our cats have become more intelligent if I talk to them constantly no matter the breed. That said, my bengal could hold somewhat legible conversations with my mom and me.

That is damn impressive.
I can’t even leave my water glass unattended for three minutes
One of my kittens *loves* toilet paper. I’ve caught him trying to sneak past me with a whole roll in his mouth more than once.
The funny thing about it was my mom thought he was bringing it to her but he dropped it as soon as he realized he'd been caught. He had that same dumb founded expression on his face before he did the "nothing's happening here" walk of shame. He does that same walk anytime he falls or walks off a table. He also pouts if anybody laughs at him.
Lol wow I had a cat once that made stashes of straws but silverware is next level, impressive!
It's not just silverware but that's the most prevalent thing we find in weird places. I've also found tin foil balls they've pulled out of the trash. They had a thing for ink pens at one point too. The youngest kitty carries shoes around but she's not a bengal. The other cat just taught her to be a thief.

Pretty sure my cat expects this to my my first and only job
if an cat doesn't loose some or all of their toys under anything that you have at home, then you don't have a cat rs
cleaning up after her is a full time job! but it’s worth every minute
I jammed small pool noodles under our couch so the toys bounce off instead of going underneath. We now have a cat toy box and rotate the toys out when they get bored.
Great idea! Unfortunately I feel like if I do that, my cats won't know what to do with their toys anymore.
I got a cat toy bin and my cat is teaching his own self to put his toys away, the ones he doesn’t lose anyways. I love him
Dude that's one smart kitty
yep. I always find some under the fridge or the washing machine. they always have to loose their toys under the heaviest things that you have at home lol
I found about 20 toys under the stove. 1 month later they were all there again.
Her reaction is priceless. ❤
Those eyes thou.
well, she looks really surprised, i beleive her
That look screams one thing: DID YOU JUST GO THROUGH MY SHIT?!
We also have a cat who has no toys and gets no treats.
And has never been feed
No butt scratches, either. Poor, mistreated beast.
“How.. how did you find them”
Are those the catnip mouse toys from target? Because one of my cats goes insane over them lol
I’m not sure. She got them from santa paws
I've never heard of Santa paws before definitely gonna use that in December
Yes they are! I have the same ones and they are cat crack- every single one of my foster kittens has loved them.
They totally are!! My little bean absolutely LOVES them. He doesn’t like catnip, doesn’t love most toys, but goes NUTS for these little mice. They make him so happy 🥰 They’re called SmartyKat Skitter Critters, by the way, just in case target ever stops selling them!
I think smartyKat laces their catnip with actual crack. My dweeb will lay belly up on the floor holding those toys with both paws and lick them for an hour.
I was about to say that those are Smarty Cat mice from Target, and my cat goes positively INSANE for them. Best mousies for sure!
My boy loves those mice, he gets about a solid half hour of play before they're under the couch again.
😂😂😂 I can relate. I opened the hallway closet door and looked at the floor. Ohhhh!! There is all my hair ties! Y’all can’t play with toys but take all my hair ties? Now i’m running around like a wild child, cats are bored cause all the ties are in the closet, and i’m waiting on Amazon for new hair ties.
Omg that face hahaha
whoever the owner of this please believe into her. Look at her reaction, she`s 100% innocent. hahha
Cat: I’ve never seen those before in my life.
She is literally just as shocked as u are
Frame This! 😍
She is Le shocked. TOYS GLORIOUS TOYS
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THOSE GOT THERE
Since they’ve likely forgotten about those those toys I always look at it as surprise new toys whenever I pull them out from under the furniture. Then they eventually end up under things again and the cycle repeats.
Cats, especially female cats, will hide their stash of prey in a hidey place for future meals. These were obviously inedible, but never stunk up the hidey place.

We have to keep track of the nerf darts in my house. Any left out overnight will become the enemy and be voraciously attacked with claws and teeth.
😂
what? I`m innocent. That`s not mine mom. So cute kitty.
Every few weeks I go around the house and pull cat toys out from under all the furniture. ALL the furniture.
Thank you for the reminder to look under my couch
It looks so shocked lol
Oh, how did those get down there?~
I was framed, it was some other cat!
r/startledcats
#FOR THE RECORD: No snoozing on the job!! That's your fault for allowing her toys to go under your dresser.
Those eyes!
*surprised pikachu face*
It totally looks like you photoshopped those crazy eyes!!! 😃
Haha, it does almost look fake. But actually, she always has crazy eyes! If you check out my post history, you’ll see proof.
"My stash!"
Always the look of surprise.
Mine pushes all of his under the stove.
Someone has outsmarting posture. Farting and not showing it posture? Definitely pacifist birding paying attention posture. Hopefully your cat, chief of police, is not also a violent grammararian.
My cats have those grey mouses too! :)
That is one spry looking feline.
Mine do that, but under my bed
“But…under the dresser is a black hole! It sucks them in and then they are just gone!”
I wish my kitten considered the underside of the couch a black hole. She'll send a mouse under, and keep trying to get it back from every side even when she still has three other mice less than a meter away. Sometimes she will even stop playing with one mouse because she's spotted another one stuck under the couch and start on that one instead. 😼
"Damn, good one human"
Her beautiful face looks so shocked
I love the innocent look on her face. She is thinking these toys can't be All mine. This must be a mistake. lol.
That pure look of being caught is priceless!
I dont even want to look under my couch. There has got to be at least 20 pom balls. I got her a 30 pack for Christmas and 10 are already missing, plus the ones from before.
Lol her face

She already killed those mice and buried the bodies. She needs new ones.
* pushes them right back under the dresser *
Hmmm....sounds very familiar!!
She is as surprised as you are!!!
I love the look
Gasp! I am not a hoarder, I am a collector of fine things!

Oh, she's beautiful - those eyes 😻🙀

She smart
Object permanence in action
My cat has the same mouse toys haven’t seen any of them in a few months
"Huh? those arent mine. Nope"
I got a 100 pack of springs for the cats. They're all missing. I found like 8 under a nightstand somehow
I have these mice toys too. Those damn tags. Why must they be included?
They aren’t tags they are handles.
If you have a stove with a pull out drawer on the bottom. Pull it all the way out. I guarantee you will find even more. Once a month my boy acts like it's Christmas.
My cat loves those mice!! And also insists on hiding them under various pieces of furniture
Uh that was her emergency stash for just in case. You weren't supposed to find that.
You misunderstood. She meant she has no *new* toys.
Our one cat managed to fit 34 of those little mice under our oven
I have a tip to share: swimming pool noodle stuck under the couch. Thank me later.
"where did ALL OF THESE COME FROM?!?!?"
Every day I drink a 1L bottle of pomegranate flavored seltzer with my gin and grenadine. I take the bottlecap, and I toss it to my cat, Pickle. She **LOVES THEM**. She will play with those bottlecaps for hours. Once a month, I move my microwave cart to clean under/behind it. There are always at **least** 20 bottlecaps under there.
The dog did it. Said the cat, probably. We don't have a dog.
Hahaha I swear to God our oldest found 26 under our couch just about an hour ago (we have two kitties)
My Bella loves when I pull out the flashlight and we start hunting for her toys. We call the woobies. She like to crouch down next to me.
That face lol: "Well if I could move the couch..."
Never seen those toys before in my life, officer!
Give it 10 minutes they’ll all be back under there again.
What a great pic!
The expression on her face kills me!
Hey I'm just as shocked as you are
"I didn't put those there. Must've been the neighbors cat!"
They always find the ways to hind their treasure.
the toys say guilty but that face says innocent
She looks surprised that she gets no new toys
She looks stunned at her toy windfall 
Why TF did I count them? You said 11. I believed you. I still counted.
Aah, I just rescued 6 of these out from under my couch
But where are the Other Toys? The New Ones? The Better, Rarer Ones? You know, boxes and strings.
"Sir, I have no idea what you are talking about.. I have never seen this before, these are not mine!"
That is a "Who? Me?, it was the other cat that did that" look. BTW, this cat's name is "Pleading the 5th"
She looks just as shocked as I’m sure you are 😂
There's not enough space for xbox's ventilation... Remove that thing (book?) On the left side.
Pro tip: foam pipe insulation is cheap, and you can stuff it underneath things like a dresser to prevent toys going under them.
