Crafting for Cats

I've had great fun making some toys for our adorable rescue cat, Treacle. Here are just a few of them

There's an old glove - I cut off all the most badly worn bits and sewed a bell into the thumb, there are old socks stuffed with various things, one has a piece of soft plastic inside it, which squeaks when you squeeze it. There's also the 'craftygreenmonster' which never sold in my Etsy shop so I've adapted it into a cat toy!

Treacle is only two and a half, so although no longer a kitten, he's still a very young cat and very playful. These toys all keep him entertained. There are others too. One of his favourites, for some reason, is a felt strawberry, that i upcycled (or perhaps that should be side-cycled?) from a brooch, which i got in one of the preview boxes from the Good Box. I just took off the brooch attachment...

He also loves this thing that I made. He's dozing in this photo but when he's awake he loves to jump up at the dangling pieces of plastic!

I'm also making a cat blanket. I can't knit, so it's mostly made from oblongs that I've woven from scrap wool as donated (a while ago) by my Mum, Crafty Green Boyfriend's Mum and another friend. I've also added some of my other woven items and scraps from worn gloves. It's really not a pretty blanket, but Treacle loves it.

I need to make more oblongs for this, though Treacle sat on the loom before i could start that task.....

Meanwhile Treacle has crafty skills too, here he is trying his hand at flower arranging

He's a happy cat I think
