Our cat, Alucard, loves to play fetch with milk rings and little mice. These mice range from 75cents to $1 a piece. It's a high price when you consider that Alucard hides/looses the mice within days of getting them. So I decided to try making my own.
I've made 7 so far--4 for the cat and 3 for my craft show. This will be a continuing project--mice for both causes. It's actually a project I can do downstairs while watching the girls; sometimes they completely ignore me and just want to play with themselves. It's the perfect moment.
They are made completely from scraps. The front is cotton fabric and the back is scrap batting. My teeny tiny scraps are used to stuff the mice. I've been experimenting with different tails--ribbon, yarn, fabric cut with pinking shears.
Short tails definitely work best for throwing.
