DIY Pom-Pom Teaser Cat Toy
Every cat owner knows how important is to provide mental stimulation for kitties. Without toys, puzzles, and quality playtime with their humans, cats can become very destructive and even depressed- particularly indoor cats.
That’s why most of us are prepared to pay a pretty penny for various cat toys, both to appease our feline masters and to save what little personal possessions we have left. Well, instead of buying another wand toy for your cat to destroy in one afternoon, you can make a cute pom-pom teaser for them: it will literally take you a few minutes and cost next to nothing.
- dowel rod*
- a piece of elastic cord or regular string (10-15 inches long)
- pom-poms**
- tapestry needle
*or, if your cats are furry destroyers of wands like mine are, just use any old one you have on hand (mine was a pink plastic one)
1. Thread the tapestry needle with string- elastic cord is super bouncy and ideal for this project, but regular yarn works great too.
