Catnip cushion for your cat
- Makes: 2 cushions
- Time: 30 min
- From: Catnip
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dried catnip
- 2 pieces of sturdy cotton, 10 × 20 cm (or an old, clean sock)
- a handful of stuffing (wadding or fabric scraps)
- a needle and strong thread
Method
- Fold each piece in half, right sides together, and sew two sides closed with small, firm stitches. Turn the bag right side out.
- Mix the stuffing with the crumbled catnip and fill the bags without packing them too tightly.
- Sew the opening closed twice so the cat cannot bite it open.
- Knead the cushion a little to release the scent and give it to your cat.
Storing: Store the cushion in a closed jar or bag between play sessions: it will keep its scent longer. Throw it away once it is torn, so your cat does not swallow the stuffing. Not every cat reacts to catnip; young kittens usually do not yet.
