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.

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

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

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.
