I used to work in a fileroom and would come home with pockets full of paperclips. One of my cats would stalk the paperclips, tracking them by the jingling sound. He was obsessed with paperclips, and would ceremoniously trot off with them, held in his fangs like defeated prey.

He was stashing them, among other places, at the bottom of his food bowl.
