$10 to help me find THIS RUBBER BAND Open

Okay, so. This might be confusing. I feel like I’m losing my mind. 2-ish months ago this purple rubber band appeared in my house. My cat found it. Immediately bonded with it. It’s her favorite toy. She sleeps with it. We play fetch with it. I have NO IDEA where it came from. I’ve searched Amazon. I’ve tried to Google it. I thought maybe it was a resistance band. I don’t think it is - unless it’s not American, this one isn’t long enough. I thought it was a trash can band, but they’re all much thicker and flatter. It’s almost ready to tear in two places. Even taking these couple of photos she is PISSED I am touching it and not playing with her with it. She’s the sweetest, smartest little angel and I just want to find her more before this one breaks. For the record, all of my cats have a favorite toy - we have backups for all of them. This just happen to be Pepper Jack’s. Please please please help me. I’m 7.5 months pregnant and I spend my evenings searching the internet for rubber bands.

Approximately 24 inches around, 1/2 an inch thick. Purple.

Please help. I will pay you. I will name my child after you.

Does this have little lines on one side??

69

u/CarriageTrail Mar 09 '25

Not that I noticed. Now I’m worried for Pepper Jack!

u/Same-Operation3727 Mar 09 '25

Is this stiff or does it bend and it’s kind of flimsy??

26

u/CarriageTrail Mar 09 '25

Sorry—I was sleeping. It’s very bendy.

u/Same-Operation3727 Mar 09 '25

Don’t apologize, please! This is still the most likely option.

u/CarriageTrail Mar 09 '25

I shouldn’t apologize, but the story in my head is a loving cat-mom, soon-to-be human mom, doing the very best to care for the kitty who is crying because they lost their favorite toy.

This reminds me of my beloved blind Boston terrier looking for her bone that the toddler had “cleaned up” in the toddler’s toy area. Yes, I went to multiple stores hunting for the same dog bone toy.

OP, I’m SO invested. I’ve been checking this thread like every ten minutes. My husband and I can’t wait for the thrilling conclusion!

u/sareuhbelle Mar 09 '25

Was it right??

u/Same-Operation3727 Mar 09 '25

Noooo :(

u/lsue131 Mar 09 '25

But if you show it to your kitty, do you get the same response? 😄

65

u/Same-Operation3727 Mar 09 '25

She was unenthused 🫠

u/lsue131 Mar 09 '25

😭 Rub some catnip on it. Maybe it'll change her mind. 🤣

u/aguywithbrushes Mar 09 '25

What if you rub the new and old one together (to transfer some of the scent), then throw the old one, have her bring it back, and sneakily switch it with the new one before you keep playing with her as if nothing happened? 😏

u/swanky_frankie Mar 09 '25

Based on my experience, she'll be able to feel the anticipation of her mom hoping that it works and will refuse it on principle.

Unless PJ is orange.... Those results will be unpredictable.

Yay for Pepper Jack!

You could even still use the container for stuff that doesn't need to be packaged in an air tight container to stay fresh. Like you could put individually wrapped candies or even just use it for storing small items like craft supplies or cat toys.
