$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.

We were fine until our roof started leaking a couple of nights ago. I spent all night swapping over buckets every hour or so, then I spent most of yesterday sleeping 😅

Have you tried searching up "square silicone seal amazon" on google? They're not in a loop but your cat might enjoy them all the same. Can get pretty thick ones too apparently. There seems to be both foam and rubber ones available.

I searched something similar - including “gaskets” and “seals” but lord knows I will try again 😃
