Press ganged cats

My two sisters' cats have been voluntold* they are participating in my trial of catnip cat toys by way of all four of them receiving one for their Christmas presents. Here is Darcy (belonging to Sandy) enjoying hers!

I shall expect full reports from Georgie, Harvey and Jonesy in due course! 

Pattern for the toys is Hillary Meyer's No-Sew Catnip Mouse

*voluntold is a made up word meaning to be ordered into volunteering

Three blind catnip mice

Have you got a cat? Do you live in the UK? Would you like to be a product tester for one of the above little mice cat toys?

They've been crocheted with two strands of very strong 100% mercerised cotton and then filled with polyester stuffing. In the middle of the stuffing, I've included a "teabag" containing approximately half a teaspoon of organically grown dried catnip. Each mouse measures a little over two inches long (excluding tail). They've been created using Stephanie Meyer's No-sew Catnip Mouse pattern on Ravelry.

Leave me a comment here on the blog (not on Facebook) with your e-mail address and I'll get in touch. First three requests from people who live in the UK will get one of the toys.

Anyone who reads my blog and who lives in the UK can get one of these sent to them free. After your cat has had it for a couple of weeks, I'd just like some honest feedback on how the toy withstood the worst your cat could throw at it!
