Happy Cat Candy - free pattern from full of fluff

about a bit about these toys: Cats do not see colors the same as people. Contrast and pattern are more important … I read that acrylic yarn tastes bad to cats … so they get cotton toys because it is so durable. Oh and the cats love to move their toys around so I topped it all off some monk cords on each end. The cats seem to love them. I am sure that catnip stuffing has something to do with it too
