I have a silver panther just like this named "Mandu". (As in Cat Mandu) His favourite toy is also hair bands. We got him a whole packet for xmas. I can now only find one. Mind you I haven't looked under the fridge, sofa, bed or cupboards yet.
When we migrated from England back to Oz, we had a few neighbours over for a farewell. When one of them saw our cat Arnie, she said: " Oh is he yours? I call him Tommy. He's been coming to ours for breakfast and dinner for the last 3 years." What! Not only second breakfasts, but dinners as well. If you're lucky enough to have a cat as your master, you really have no idea of half what they get up to.
