We always save ours for the cat "fishing pole" toy. It is a fiberglas rod with 80 lb test braided saltwater fishing line and a denim belt loop attached as the "fly".
We bought this in New Orleans nearly 20 years ago at a great shop called The Cat House and the resident cat took DH right to her preferred toy. Her name was Miss Belle Watling and she was a fluffy long-haired black kitty :-)
It has been loved by all kitties we have had since!

If it were my DH he would have to wear them with a pair of suspenders! Ann in TN

Example.....My moms plastic laundry tub that she totes the clothes from the back of the house to the washer handle broke off and split the basket. What does my dad do he goes in the garage fashions a handle out of sheet metal and pop rivets it back together. This is a $3 laundry basket for crying out loud!! Would you believe that after 5 or 6 years they are still using the basket?!?! We sat down and figured that they had bought right before my daughter was born 19 years ago, because mom remembers putting baby shower gifts in it when they were at the store buying it.
