I was just wondering what kind of bad experiences people here have had with cat toys, if any.
Specifically I'm making some toys for my cat using a thicker gauge hanging wire that I think should work out fine. I've made a mousey one and my cat plays with it a bit (he prefers string to everything & so I am trying new things out) and I'm especially wondering if anyone has any kind of bad experience with wire? I'm also planning on making a few toys out of long, loose springs like the kinds you see in applications such as screen door hardware. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences there either? I think it will be safe but to be honest I am a lil worried about a claw getting in there or something.
And anything else, too. I'm sure there are probably a thousand things. I'm wondering most about what I should avoid in making toys for my little guy. I know cats chew on lots of things in general that you may not want them too, i.e. I try to keep soft braided nylon away from my kitty because he chews on the stuff like it owes him money. I also dislike frayed carpet pieces & fishing line just because I imagine both could become pretty dangerous if ingested.
