A hair tie

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.

Keep using EL on this one: On R1 and R10 first, then C1 or C20, then R2 or R9 (whichever has the 3 clue on the side of the column you did)

I had fun with the zigzagging EL here.

Off to look at toys #1-11! I think I must have missed them.

As I was solving it, I thought it was looking like a picture of a brain, so I was thinking through how a brain could be a cat toy. I was thinking that maybe if the cat was challenging to its human in some way, that could be a brain challenge. But then it was something else entirely!

Wombi, I am curious if your bio is a reference to BoJack Horseman?

#5 I picked it up from Neil Gaiman but I'm not sure where he got it from.

Hm. Maybe BoJack Horseman was referring back to Neil Gaiman. Bojack was full of references, so it seems possible!

I think they must make hair ties out of catnip. My cat goes crazy over them too.
