Minnie and Flo have embraced the wonders of catnip. But then, what cat doesn’t like a good roll in the catnip now and then.
Patricia makes toys for the cats at her local Humane Society, some of them catnip pillows and others she makes out of empty thread spools. Last year she made over 300 toys and now she’s in need of more spools. So if any of you sew and have some empty spools of thread that you’d like to repurpose, instead of the throwing them in the garbage, Patricia can use them. Just email her at [email protected]. You’ll be making a lot of cats very happy.
wooden? or plastic? both?
Both wooden or plastic Anne.
Your photos of Minnie and Flo, with their catnip pillows made me smile, and made my day. Pure “bliss”!
Thank you for sharing…….
Priceless !
Maria,
How fun to see the “girls” enjoying their toys..
I take any spools, any size, plastic or wood…Anyone who sends spools will receive some sample toys…
Thank you,
Patricia
Patricia, is there anything else you can use to make the toys? Brooke wanted to know since she doesn’t sew and would like to contribute if possible.
Great photos of Minnie and Flo enjoying their catnip toys! I am all thumbs when it comes to sewing, so I don’t have any empty spools, but is there anything else that Patricia could use in her efforts?
Not sure Brooke, but I can find out.
Brook,
I can always use ribbon for tying spool and wine cork toys, and of
course wine corks:o))) Narrow ribbon is best.
All you ladies can send wine corks to: Patricia Weinkauf

Thanks again Maria,
Patricia
Ah Wine Corks add a whole other element to it Patricia.
Maria,
Yes, how could I have forgotten to mention corks before now? Not that I am encouraging anyone to overindulge but yes, send corks..
Patricia
I have about 50-75 empty thread spools..large and small… wood and plastic. Can anyone use them? Please let me know.
Carol. Just click on the link on my blog, there’s a good home for them there.
