Happy Monday everyone!Today is fun and games day so I looked on Pinterest for something fun and simple. There was a cute sock toy with feathers in it from Martha Stewart: http://www.marthastewart.com/264732/baby-sock-cat-toy . All you need is a baby sock, catnip, feathers and a needle and thread.I added some polyfil to the sock first and then some catnip. Just add some feathers to the top and sew it shut.Here is Prancie with ours: 
.
We are still looking for contestants in the tail length contest: 
Prancie, what a cute toy you have, sounds like a great one!
Thank you 🙂
What a cute toy!!! Such a great idea : )
We might have to get crafty!
Thank you and thanks for visiting us and filling us in on the tail measurement 🙂
That is really easy – I bet even my human could do it without having to resort to photoshop!
It was easy, if I can do something, it is easy 🙂
Looks like a fun toy!
Not as great as bacon, but fun 🙂
Cute toy idea! I imagine nobody can top the 14″ tail – I think we should declare a winner NOW!
Hugs, Sammy
Waffles has a 15 inch tail so I think we have a winner, but we are taking entries until Saturday.
That is a great toy, and so easy to make. Even my mum can’t go wrong with that…can she?
If I can make it Flynn, then anyone can 🙂
What a great idea for a cat toy! Particularly since socks always tend to go missing, leaving you with one lonely unmatched sock.
–Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats.
Good thinking 🙂 I should have used one of those and saved a dollar.
You sure are having some fun!
We always try to 🙂
We are having a lot of playtime lately in the three moggies house 🙂
That is great!
That sounds like a very neat toy!!
Thank you!
What an smart idea, and so easy to make ! We missed the tail length contest, we will try to do it before Caturday ! Purrs
Thank you 🙂 So far, Waffles with 15 inches is in the lead.
Oh wow, we love that toy idea and are going to have to try it! Mumsy crochets us toys and puts long tails on them and stuffs them with catnip. Sometimes she makes little ears on them so they’ll look more like a mouse.
That is a great idea! I love to crochet toys too, that is all I know how to crochet 🙂
I’d think any Maine Coon would have a long tail but not us. I love making homemade toy out of old sweaters.
I would like to see some of those toys with old sweaters, great way to recycle.
That’s a fun toy. We think another cat blogger made some of these and gave them away as a prize…because we won a couple. 🙂
That was a good prize 🙂
That sounds like a really fun DIY toy! I might have to give it a shot sometime. I love DIYs 🙂 How does a kitty enter your tail length contest? Cinco has a nice long tail.
Just measure it and tell us the length, if you can get a photo too it would be nice( not required though). So far Waffles is in the lead at 15 inches.
OH DEAR DUE TO LACK OF NUTRITION I FORGOT TO GET THE MOM TO MEASURE MY TAIL. I’LL SEE IF SHE CAN DO IT TONIGHT
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
You poor kitty, I read about how your Mom tortures you with no treats when you ask so nicely.
I’M BACK…UNDER DURESS I LET MOM KINDA MEASURE MY TAIL…
IT APPEARS TO BE RIGHT AT 10″!! DANG YOUR TAIL IS LONG…14″
HUGS MADI YOUR BFF
10 inch is just right, 14 is long, but Waffles is in the lead with 15!!!Thanks for trying.
That looks so fun and easy to make. TW could never do it.
If I could make it, anyone can 🙂
That toy isn’t made for the tail is it 😉 Pawkisses for a Lovely Day 🙂 <3
🙂
another great homemade cat toy: take an old sock, fill it with cat nip, knot, it, voila!
That is a good idea- no sewing- it is safer than the thread from sewing. Thank you.
Looks like yous all havin’ lots of fun. Yous mommy’s so clever. Mommy not so much. MOL
Luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
Thank you- we only had 7 inches 🙂
Your Mommy is very clever.
You have a perfect tail 🙂
Thank you 🙂
