It all began with me pinging a giant rubber band, which Little M would fetch. When disintegrated, I ordered him a bumper pack of the things. I get sad, accusing eyes if he deems it's time for Ping, and "Pffft" noises if I don't comply.
Now the game of Ping has disintegrated into me pinging the bloody thing, Little M gleefully pouncing on it, tossing it about, pretending he can't find it, or placing it just out of reach, resulting in me fetching it for him. Rinse and repeat, otherwise he becomes a small, tantrumming bulldozer.
Then the constant worry he might swallow it, so a mad dash about the house, (usually just before bed-time) to find the Ping, and lock it away from his little monkey paws.
He is a dick. But also the light of my life. He's looking at me with accusing eyes because I just put it away.

Sultan of F*cking "Ping"

I do have a fishing rod clippy thing, but he likes to see it speeding through the air, then bouncing off the ceiling/walls. I fear the fishing line may impede the Ping's trajectory. And I think about 80% of his fun is watching me scuttle about on all fours searching for it, Weeds. However, I have a lot of fishing line, being an accomplished Pike fisherwoman. Not a stealth boast, an out and out boast. 
I always check them over for leeches and check their throats in case some idiot gets freaked out on contemplating their rows of teeth, and cuts the line instead of un-hooking them properly, leaving their throat sealed.
Hmm Fluffy, glo-pings. I shall see if they can be obtained. But the little bugger sunbeam of joy is so good at hiding stuff. He has a secret stash of at least 20 squeaky mice, and Christ knows what else stashed in a Secret Location. Years ago, when moving I found a pile of pound coins, that my dearly missed cat, Bambos had collected.
Tantrumming bulldozer. Just laughed out loud at that. As a PP has said. How does he do it?!!
We need some form of swap system going on
You can take howling cuddly Ollie cat and play with ribbon, I'll ping bands swap back in 24hrs
Ollie has taken to making an "oof" noise like an old man when he jumps off anything 
Bibi does this thing where she physically inserts herself between my face, hands, and whatever I'm doing. So say I'm in bed reading on the kindle, she'll come slinking up, purring, sliiiide her way in so she's on top of the kindle in the crook of my arm, and stare into my face until I give her my full attention
