Turns out in our house the toys have magical powers and are used as some sort of bartering system to bribe the Gods from above to do things for the cats. For example, a toy strategically placed by the back door is done so that eventually it will cause a powerful enough surge that the door will open, letting the cats go outside for an adventure (admittedly, the power of this toy rarely works but it doesn&#8217;t stop the cats from trying just in case!).<\/p>\n<p>The most powerful toy is one that can cause a food dish to be filled and apparently it really works, because without fail, at some point or another the <strong>FOOD DISHES WILL BE FILLED<\/strong>!
