He cut the fabric into three football-shaped pieces, with one long piece for a tail, and stitched those together. He filled it with catnip, and two years later the cats still play with it. You are right about the cats liking things that are already lying around the house - I've had cats who luv-luv-loved capturing my make-up brushes and dragging them around. Also the plastic rings from milk jugs, pen caps, and whole pens. I've got one cat who adores chewing up twisty-ties but I try to discourage that, as I get worried about her swallowing bits of the wire, or having the wire scratch up her mouth. You know those expensive cat tree/cat condo complexes they sell in stores for hundreds of dollars? I have had some success replicating the kind of climbing and hiding play space for $20 or less by gluing some big cardboard boxes together, and cutting holes for the cats to climb through to each level. One of them, I got really fancy and duck-taped some burlap to one side, providing a scratching area. With a canvas gardening glove, you could stitch some ribbons onto the ends of the fingers to make a "Kitten Mitten" type toy. With a thin wooden dowel, some twine, and a small trible or mouse toy, you could make a fishing-rod style cat toy. Got a couple cloth place mats that are ready to be retired from table service? Make a crackling catnip pad by stitching them together, with a plastic grocery bag or a _cleaned up_ potato chip bag, and some catnip inside.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/universities/mathematics-degree.htm"> Windi Lea</a> My boyfriend made a stuffed toy for our cats out of some “fun fur” he found in a free box at a garage sale.

A ball of yarn on a string hanging from a nail in a doorframe can be batted around for hours. Be prepared to replace any that get shredded or torn.<a href="http://www.jewelrymakingidea.com/wire-jewelry-making.htm"> margot m</a> A tightly rolled ball of aluminum foil makes a nice toy to be batted around. 3-4 twisted pipe cleaners also make neat “spiders” to chase.

Any old carpet or rug remnants glued to cardboard boxes make great climbing and hiding places. Rubber bands that are cutwith just about anything tied or glued onto one end (feathers, balls, etc.) are great. Anything that crinkles is great like potato chip bags, etc. They also like mirrors.<a href="http://www.cargearusa.com/srch/srch.php?q=Mitsubishi"> mscrawdad</a> Ball of yarn - classic.

Here is a 100% your-cats-will-love-it toy! (It has been proven with many cats...) MATERIALS: 1 thin sock (small/baby socks do best) Catnip String Thread & Needle (optional) Scissors 4-5 SMALL Feathers (optional, but adds extra fun!) DIRECTIONS: Cut off top of sock, around the top of heel. Put catnip in until a tad more than half-way is filled. Arrange feathers in catnip mixture Tie top with string To Xtra secure catnip, tie the top with a needle and thread. ( I do this to save time afterward if string becomes loose.) Make sure everthing is secure by turning toy upside down and shaking it. Give to your cats and watch the fun! ( I thought of this toy by myself when I wanted to make 'origional' toys for my cats.)
