My cat plays fetch
 

Is this normal? My cat likes to play with 2 things; twist ties and that plastic ring that is left over when you unseal a gallon of milk. We have given her all kinds of cat toys, but she doesn't care for them very much.

But she LOVES to play fetch with these small pieces of plastic. I'll throw it, and she'll chase it down, bring it back and meow/rub against my leg until I throw it again.

My other cat doesn't do this at all. Is playing fetch normal for a cat?

Sounds like your cat has canine envy.

Yep, mine does too, but with piece of paper crumpled up into a ball.

My cat used to do this.

A warning on twist ties. The small metal ones can be swallowed and kill 'em, and as to plastic ones, the plastic can turn into the equivalent of sharp glass when exposed to acid in the stomach. Both are dangerous for cats.

she gets really excited when she finds the balled up paper in the trash......she brings it back so you can throw it away again....

Some genius figured out how to sell a nickel's worth of wire and cardboard for two fifty. Too bad it wasn't me.

Yea, my Bengal cat loves those things and will fetch/play with them for a good hour at a time. He's tried to assault new gallons in the fridge when they have the ring still on.
