You can whip up a whole bunch of these mice from different kinds of wool and wool felt. After I made the first guy on the left, I was inspired to make him a little tweed wool friend.
Peanut, looking deceptively sweet and docile.
This little mouse is the perfect toy for your favorite feline friend.

6. Take the bottom piece of the mouse and pin one side to the edge of one of the side pieces. Whipstitch the bottom piece to one side. When that is finished, continue whipstitching around to the other side, leaving a couple inches open for stuffing.

7. Stuff withcotton batting and a jingle bell plus some catnip (if your cat likes it.). Whipstitch the opening closed and knot.

i'm going to give them to her this weekend so we'l see...

jnjewel- i totally agree! i think it's much safer to make toys yourself. i made sure to use all natural materials (cotton and wool) making these because I don't want my pets eating anything weird and plastic!

jnjewel writes: Your little mouse is so cute! I make hand-made mouse for my cats, too. Especially when they really like to chew them up into pieces, it's a lot safer to make your own. Because my cats really chew up and rip them in a day or two, I keep all the cotton scraps from other projects, cut them into small pieces, and stuff them with a little bit of catnip.
