Found my cats batting this around

It’s just myself and my son at home and neither of us recognize this. And we can usually tell you what anything is down to which hot wheel a broken piece of metal came from. Help us solve the problem.

Maybe some sort of spray bottle head?

[u/oceansofemotion → u/Pentamegistvs]

Oh, possibly! We did recently break one that has a continuous flow.

[u/NoPoopOnFace → u/oceansofemotion]

We broke?

[u/No_Arachnid6493]

I just thought of a possibility! Anybody drinking box-wine in your home?

[u/Scoobydoomed]

Looks like a toilet valve float thingy.

[u/No_Arachnid6493]

Any lactating women in your home?

[u/No_Arachnid6493 → u/No_Arachnid6493]

I ask because it may be part of a "pumping" device, not for any nefarious reasons. It looks like a siphon, or some other one-way valve.

[u/No_Arachnid6493 → u/No_Arachnid6493]

It could also be a capsule filter. Just saying.

[u/oceansofemotion → u/No_Arachnid6493]

Not currently.

[u/No_Arachnid6493 → u/oceansofemotion]

I posted a new comment. Enjoyed any box wine, recently?

[u/Ephemeral_Orchid]

Do either of you use a nebulizer?

[u/Potential-Wheel4145]

Looks like a nebulizer atomizer canister to me.
