Your avatar is funny because I happened to be in Wal-Mart the other day and looked down at the register and they had cat toys. Thick plastic and a bell inside... SOLD! For a ringneck, thats heaven plus I dont have to worry he will get to and swollow the bell. Exactly like your balls. Pink, purple, and red.
I saw the balls and KNEW Baby would LOVE them. And he does! His favorite toy at the moment. .99 cents. Go figure.
Buy a kid a bicycle and they spend Christmas playing with the box.
The really crazy thing is I bought that for my cat about 5 years ago and he has batted it around maybe twice. So when I brought Nila home I washed it up and he loved it.
Like you said "Go figure"
