While play does draw from their hunting instincts, in my experience, sometimes they really are just trying to have fun. In this case, my cats have liked similar things because of how light and easy they are to bat/toss around (vs other toys, like stuffed animals, where they don't throw them into the air nearly as much).
They do like bottlecaps. My cat also likes pencils, chopsticks, and straws.
Our cats like to toss around hazelnuts, small rolls of tape and less surprisingly bouncing balls
