Pattern description from Stitch ‘N Bitch Nation: “After seeing my cat promptly and viciously destroy the store-bought mouse toys that she loves so, I wondered if a more durable one might be made. I also wanted to design a gift set to welcome new baby kitties to their home - a ‘catwarming’ set. The swishy string can be swung around or draped over a doorknob or claw-safe furniture for lots of super-fun kitty times, and the three blind mice…well, the possibilities are endless! While my cat doesn’t really ‘get’ catnip, I know many cats do, so instructions for adding it as part of the stuffing are included.”
