How to Make a Fleece Daisy Cat Toy

Cats love to chase toys with fluttering pieces that they can catch with their paws. Fleece is a lightweight, yet durable fabric that is great for making cat toys. Make fun shapes like flowers and animals with fleece, then put your shape on a string to make it possible for you and your cat to play together. A daisy is a wonderful shape because the petals act as a teasing fringe that cats love. Your feline will be ecstatic if you put some catnip inside the toy as well.
