D.I.Y CAT TOY (also cute cat video/photos)

If your cat loves catnip my boyfriend, Josh, found a very inexpensive way to make a toy for your beloved fuzz ball. Catnip has sedative effects and it can help calm cats down, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. But, it does make them hyper for a short bit before that. I was recommended by our vet to use catnip with our lazy old kitty. It has helped her a lot!

This toy is fairly cheap and easy to make. It has the ability to burst or be torn open which our cat, Pheona, loves.

What you will need:

• A cat, preferably your own, don't steal one.
• Dried catnip, you can buy in bulk or little vials.
• Muffin Paper.
• A piece string.
• Something to stab the toy with, doesn't need to be sharp.

Step One:

Put some catnip inside the muffin paper.

Step Two:

Twist the muffin paper ends closed.

Step Three:

Tie it with a piece of string, or multiple, leave one string long for holding.

Step Four:

Stab the toy, gently, so the cat will wanna claw it open. He used a stick to poke through.

Step Five:

ENJOY!

If you make one please post about it and tag me in it!
