His mom thinks he&#8217;s convinced he&#8217;s found a bag of furry mice, which, in a cat&#8217;s world, is a major jackpot. The sad reality is, despite looking <strong>really<\/strong> similar, it&#8217;s just a bag of mom&#8217;s beauty blenders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Someone is going to be very disappointed when they finally get this bag open&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Commenters on TikTok aren&#8217;t so convinced and think maybe he knew exactly what he was getting! One replied, &#8220;Beauty king,&#8221; while another thought, &#8220;a win is a win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Others have cats who are no strangers to beauty products: &#8220;My cat is obsessed with powder puffs. He \u201chunts\u201d them and hides them all over the house,&#8221; replied one, and another said, &#8220;Our cats play fetch with beauty blenders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And one pointed out that he did manage to get the general shape correct: &#8220;To be fair, those are the same shape as mouse toys, lol.&#8221; Excellent point!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Why Cats Decide Certain Things Belong To Them<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;MityRu\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/dmrm585UrQZVaLriUcuqfA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/pethelpful_915\/b6293602b4d7736221b3835081786f30\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;MityRu<\/p>\n<p><span>(Image via Shutterstock&amp;sol;MityRu)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you&#8217;ve ever parented a cat, you know their taste in &#8220;favorite objects&#8221; can be diverse and interesting as each cat themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I had a cat who had a favorite olive. Yep, an olive must&#8217;ve rolled away from someone, the cat got it, and he played with that thing constantly-even initiating games of fetch with it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">No one had the heart to take it away until it turned into a much bigger olive, coated in dirt, dust, hair, and whatever else it picked up along the way. We tried replacing it with a fresh one&#8230; which he wanted nothing to do with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: Gorgeous Ragdoll Cat&#8217;s Polite Request to Play Will Make Your Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, why do cats choose what they choose?
