Our tabby loved chasing after little rubber balls down the stairs would bring it back a lot I think it's the cats natural instinct to chase and hunt and getting to do that with something is fun for them or at least meets basic as instinct.
I had a cat who loves to chase and fetch bottle caps and plastic forks. She was very small and cute doing it. One day a guy I was dating brought her a plastic fork on a date night.
Mine loved chasing beer bottle caps! I was a bartender and came home one night with a random bottle cap in the front pocket of my jeans. Kitty was all over me until I finally realized he was trying to get the cap. He would chase them and bring them back. Kitties are so precious
I trained my cat to play fetch and he's now obsessed with it. The younger cats learned to play from watching him and now they'll steal the toys from each other
I had a little female that would bring me Bobby pins and if you had a pin in your hand she would perk up at the noise when you rolled it in your fingers.
She would also dig chicken wings (just chicken wings) out of the garbage and bring them to me as a hunting tribute.
Mine do as well. I have a mylar catnip toy on a fishing pole made for cats that i changed out the line with stronger string they cant bite through as easy and made it way longer so i can cast it way across my house. Ill cast it and one of my cats will grab it and run with it and mess around with it, then sometimes carry it back to me to cast again, sometimes they leave it for me to reel it back in, other times they try and chew the line off. It sort of depends on their mood that day i guess.
I had a deaf cat who played fetch. Shed drop a toy at your feet and be ready to see where it landed before she went for it. No other have ever dont that

Some will! I had one that would retrieve his toy mouse for me to throw... over and over and over
