Caption: Get crafty with your furry friend! Check out our step-by-step guide on making homemade catnip toys. Your kitty will thank you later! 😺🎨

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝:
Fabric scraps or old socks
Needle and thread or sewing machine
Scissors
Catnip
𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:
Prepare Your Materials: Gather your fabric scraps or old socks. Ensure they are clean and free of any debris.
Cut the Fabric: Cut the fabric into desired shapes for your catnip toy. Popular shapes include squares, rectangles, or even fish shapes.
Sew the Fabric: If you're using fabric scraps, place two pieces together with the inside facing out. If you're using socks, cut them into appropriate sizes. Then, sew around the edges, leaving a small opening.
Fill with Catnip: Once you have sewn around the edges, turn the fabric right side out through the opening. Fill the toy with dried catnip. You can find catnip at most pet stores or online.
Close the Opening: After filling the toy with catnip, sew the opening closed securely. Ensure that the stitches are tight enough so that the catnip doesn't spill out.
Optional: Add Embellishments: If you want to add some extra flair to your catnip toy, you can sew on additional decorations like buttons or felt shapes. Just make sure they are securely attached and won't pose a choking hazard to your cat.
Let Your Cat Enjoy: Once the toy is complete and the seams are secure, give it to your cat to enjoy! Watch as they play with their new catnip-filled toy.
Monitor the Toy: While cats love catnip, it's essential to monitor their playtime with the toy to ensure they don't ingest too much catnip or damage the toy excessively. If the toy becomes worn or torn, replace it with a new one to prevent any accidents.
Creating homemade toys like this can provide your cat with hours of entertainment while also saving you money on store-bought alternatives. Enjoy crafting and spending quality time with your furry friend!

My name is LaTrece Mekel and I own a pet sitting business in Smyrna, TN. I absolutely love working with pets and being of service to their owners. Most of the time you don't even know you need a pet sitter until the moment you need a pet sitter. Why not keep me on reserve just in case?
If you're returning to the office and are unsure what to do with your fur babies, I would love to work with you to create a care plan for them whether that be daycare in my home or check-ins at your home. My home has a large fenced in yard which provides lots of space for exercise and play time. It's also available as a private dog park if you need uninterrupted space for training your dog. I offer boarding for when those business trips pop up. I am licensed by the state, insured, and certified in Red Cross Pet CPR/First Aid. I have experience administering meds but not injections (yet). Contact me with any questions or if you'd like to schedule a meet and greet for your dog.

Love,
LaTrece Mekel
