I will soon be getting a kitten (my first cat) and I love to sew and be crafty whenever the opportunity arises! I read that its nice for the kitten to have a fluffy toy to snuggle with, and can even help with the anxiety of leaving its mother when you first bring it home and I was hoping to make a toy similar to the kitten's mother. As she is a Birman tho, I would be looking for somethign nice and fluffy, especially like the lovely fluff tail the mummy has.
I was concerned if there were any materials I should stay clear of when it comes to making cat toys. To make my fluffy toy I was looking into using faux fur that you buy from a regular haberdashery, but wanted to check this would be kitty friendly! Don't want any extra unwanted furbals building up or bad tummies. And is regular stuffing from a haberdashry ok to use?
And I was wondering if anyone has any nice tips or links to good home made cat toys and the like. I don't mind buying the toys of course, but I just can't resist arts and craft time
