Kitty Ravioli Toy DIY

Supplies:

Catnip

Fabric Scraps

Sewing Machine

Cotton or Polyester Stuffing

1. Cut 2 x 2 inch squares out of fabric scraps. 

2. Putting the wrong sides of two of the fabric squares together, sew around three sides of each set of squares. Don't sew on the very edge-sew about 1/4 inch in to make the ravioli shape.

3. Stuff with a small pinch of cotton stuffing and then sprinkle in about a teaspoon of catnip.

4. Sew up remaining side and you're done!

I whipped up a dozen of these cat toys in about fifteen minutes. My kitten loves them! His reaction to catnip is hilarious-first he plays and gets hyper and then his eyes get glazed over and he's totally mellow. It's really funny.

Crafting with Cats

Do you have a pet? Do you have one who gets super interested in what you're doing the minute you pull out the craft supplies or start taking photos? Does your cat or dog look at you like, "You're taking a picture?? Is it of me?? How do I look??" 

It's always kind of chaos trying to craft with a six month old kitten. Tonight, I was scrapbooking and had a box of stickers out on the table. Kittens can't resist boxes of course, so he launched himself into the box and was determined to sit on the stickers all night. Just for fun, I thought I'd share a few photos that have been cat-bombed and instances when I was trying to craft and my cat Sisko had other ideas. 

Trying to take pictures of my jewelry display...

 Sewing and stuffing pillows-the stuffing became a pillow for nap time.

Every time I blog...this is Sisko's "play with me" face :)

My kitten brings lots of smiles to my face, so I thought he deserved a blog post and maybe he put a smile on your face too. Does anyone else have any funny photobombs with their pets?
