Keeping cats busy during the winter months- seeking DIY toys
So we have 6 de-sexed, spoiled and lovely barn cats who spend their summers ridding our 16 acres of rodents. In the winter they do come out often, but when it's really cold ( -30C to -40C) or the snow is too fresh and deep, they snuggle up in the barn. I've a number of scratching posts, and balls with bells in winter but I got to wondering.
<PERSON> bought a toy from the store, mostly because we recently got another stray that is quite young. 311
All the cats went nuts over this toy. Because they are fairly rough with toys, and there are a number of cats, I was wondering if anyone has ideas for homemade toys I could make cheaply and swap out/trash when they got dirty or destroyed. It's a long winter out there. 32
