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.

Love the kitty toy and Dimitri is Very Handsome! Any chance you can maybe show us how to make a crochet catnip mouse? My cats (have 3 girls) like to carry their toys through the house while talking, drives my 2 dogs bonkers 😉

Kathryn I have made something similar but the instructions called for stuffing it with a wadded up plastic grocery bag. It was fun for the kitties because the bag krinkled when they played. Perhaps you could use a bag instead of the stuffing?
