Mission: Make a Cat’s Day With This DIY Cat Toy

Do you know how to make a DIY cat toy? Well, you’re about to! 😸

Cats need a lot of mental stimulation to stay happy, so toys are an absolute must. Follow this guide to make a toy for a cat who lives with you, a friend, or at your local animal shelter:

items needed

  • Scissors
  • Cotton fabric
  • Colorful yarn (plz choose vegan yarn, NOT wool yarn)
  • A measuring cup
  • Organic dried catnip

directions

1. Cut a square of fabric at least the size of your hand (cut it bigger for a larger toy).

2. Place 1/4 cup of dried catnip in the center of the square.
