How to Make Catnip Toys for Your Feline Friends
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Catnip is an herb containing an oil called nepetalactone. When a cat rubs on it or licks it, the nepetalactone is released, putting the kitty in a euphoric state. Some cats react to catnip by getting zoomies, while others find it calming. However your furry feline responds, this homemade catnip toy will provide hours of entertainment and enrichment.
DIY Catnip Toy
- Dried catnip
- Baby socks (or any type of sock without holes)
- Twine
- Jute or sisal rope
- Cotton balls or polyfill
- Cut the jute or sisal rope to the length you’d like. A longer length will let you drag it across the floor for your kitty or tie it to their cat tree.
- These types of ropes tend to fray, so tie each end of the rope. As it frays over time, it will become an enhancement to the toy!
- Take a portion of the polyfill and stretch it a bit. Sprinkle a healthy teaspoon of catnip in the center. The amount of catnip you use will depend on the size of sock. (A little goes a long way!)
- Fold the polyfill together to enclose the catnip and slide it into the sock. If needed, add additional polyfill to fill out the sock.
- Cut a piece of twine and tie the ankle of the sock closed. Wrap and tie the ankle several times to ensure a tight closure.
- Once all the socks are stuffed and sealed, tie each to the rope at varying distances apart using the twine.
- Finally, snip the ends of the twine short to the rope. It’s now ready for your cat to sink their claws into!
Dried catnip loses its potency over time. However, you can refresh its appeal to your kitty with several sprays of catnip spray.
