My Cat Is Spoiled

I finished a lot of garments recently and that left me with scraps. I don’t quilt often and was thinking of what to do with these scraps. Ash came up with the perfect idea. He wanted to play, but his mouse was pretty much destroyed. I could not readily find another one of his mice (he has several, all stashed or hidden somewhere), so I made him brand new mouse. I had the scraps, both fabric and batting, and a piece of rattail cord which came from a vinyl bag. I cut out a half teardrop shape and five minutes later, Ash had a new mouse. I was careful not to stuff it so much that Ash could not get a hold of the toy, he likes to carry it.

I presented it to the cat and after a cautionary sniff and test bat, Ash accepted the new toy. He then batted the new mouse all over the floor and quickly lost it somewhere. A couple of hours later he found the mouse and we had a game of fetch.
