Is it the sound? My cat's absolute favorite toy was a felt ball with crinkly, noisy plastic in it. But she also loved sitting on card stock laid on soft surfaces.

All my cats have liked crinkly things. Maybe because it instinctively reminds them of the rustling of prey in grass?

Babies go nuts for crinkles for a few months of development. I wonder if it's related.

Possibly, although it wouldn't be because of the prey thing! More like it provides stimulating sensory feedback.
