PurrPad
What you'll need: Quilt batting
How to do it:
Cut four pieces of quilt batting, both 1 1/2 feet square and sew them all together, stacked on top of each other. I used a zigzag stitch all the way around so that there was no turning inside out involved and then there is a nice trim. Then you can spray it with catnip spray if you have any. A PurrPad your cat will love!
Catnip Mouse
One 8x10 felt square (any color)plush or regular felt, Embroidery thread that matches the felt, A jingle bell, Glue and thread and Stuffing.
How to do it:
Here is the pattern, cut out the body of the mouse on a fold. So that the straight part of the mouse is on the fold. Then cut out two of the circles for ears. Once you have the pieces cut out, you will want to sew the mouse body together all the way except about an inch from the point on the nose. Now stuff your mouse and put some cat nip in there too! Now go ahead and sew the rest of the mouse up. Once that is done, you will want to glue the ears on. Fold the ears on the lines and glue them where ever you think the ears should go. Then cut a long piece of embroidery thread and tie the jingle bell to the end of it. Then glue or hand sew the tail to the mouses rear end. Let all the glue dry and you have wonderful catnip mouse to play with. Note: You can also leave the mouse inside the box or bag of catnip overnight. Then the smell will stay there longer and be stronger.
Cat Box
Shoe Box (any size), Hot Glue, Ping Pong Ball or Large Jingle Bell
First you will want to cut holes in the box. The holes have to be smaller than the ping pong ball or Large Jingle bell but big enough for kitty to fit her paws through. Then put the ping pong ball or Jingle bell in the box and glue the lid back on. Give it to your kitty. She will spend hours trying to get the ball/bell out of the box.
