Upcycled Organic Catnip Cat Toys Made From Recycled T-Shirts - Set Of Three
Of my three cats, one is completely nuts for catnip. The other two like it just fine, but Oliver, my fluffy floppy Maine Coon cat, loves it so much he will knock over the bowl of 'nip and roll in it while rubbing his face in the now empty bowl. With entertainment value like that how could I not make catnip cat toys?!? When I designed this toy, I wanted something that they could smack with their paw and slide across the floor - so it had to be relatively flat, it had to be soft - so it's made of recycled t-shirts, and it had to be completely harmless if they ripped it open - so it's stuffed with shredded plastic bags. Trust me, my guys find ripping open toys and eating the stuffing to be a sport so no more polyfill toys for them! This listing is for three toys of any color of your choosing. Color choices are available, if you have a color preference. If you don't have a color in mind, I'll surprise you! Thanks for looking and please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Welcome to Found Beauty Studio! This is my one woman attempt to bring a little fun back into the world with bright and functional recycled found object art. I've always been a maker of things. Always. But if you'd told me when I walked out of college with a bachelor's in theatre arts a decade ago in Massachusetts that I'd end up running my own art studio in Burlington, Vermont, I would have called you crazy. I had plans to go on to a successful and illustrious career in costume and set design, and then took a u-turn and worked in program direction and fundraising for nonprofits, and then as a community organizer for local government, and then burned out on the whole 70-hour-work-week-in-a-cubicle life and headed back to art.
Life takes funny twists and turns, and here I am, happier than I could have imagined in the upstairs of a house in the Old North End with my wood worker husband, three fluffy cats, and two turtles (one of whom is fast approaching 30 years old), using my maker-of-things skills to upcycle found materials into new creations. While I do create fine art pieces, my primary love is creating functional pieces - lamps, tote bags, jewelry, furniture, clothing, home goods, planters…the list goes on. I find great joy in taking a used up, forgotten and discarded object and turning it into a one of a kind piece that someone will use and love.
