Crochet Love Our Kitty Toy
Dimitri loved homemade cat toys. She died in 2017. Laced with catnip and sized right to carry around. I cannot express enough how much she loves her toys.
She's too old to care about a mouse running across her path but a laced catnip toy is something she absolutely loved.
She carried her toy outside a couple of months ago and I found it all soaked and ruined. Usually, she meows like a kitty in heat and goes running across the house with it... gets there... drops it and the fun is over... but then does it again in a while. It's the only exercise she gets.
Let's face it... cats and dogs don't care if you make the item or buy it at the store. I have the yarn, I have a bag of catnip and I have the desire to show her my love by making her a new toy. This is how I did it.
The free downloadable has instructions on how I created this toy. I made a pouch for the catnip scents to get through without the catnip making a mess of our home.

Couldn't I just put the catnip in a folded little piece of paper in the middle of the fiber filling?

Amazon has Catnip spray, very potent, no mess, spray on toys etc., saves you from having to wrap it inside the ball.
Birgit Norris says
Have stopped using Catnip spray. Only because the smell wears off too quickly. I always use Catnip now.
