If you live with a cat, “played with” means “gone forever.”* As in, “Where is my pen?”* “It fell on the floor and got played with.”* If you live with a bird, however, “played with” means, roughly, “torn into little shreds to the point of no longer being recognizable.”
In other news, I’m on chapter five of Iorich (or Your Itch, if you prefer).* So far, it’s opening up in front of me in interesting ways.* I’m sure I’ll come to hate it later.
