Cecilias lovingly made Curlies have been such a hit around here! To the point of them turning a different color from the combined catspit, and being batted under places that I can't clean under. But they do wash and dry (on fast wash, low dry in a lingerie bag) nicely but then after being marinated in more 'nip they get trashed again! That's why I love the festive colored Curlies so they don't get confused with hairballs etc. I'm so glad you met Cecilia and that you've found such a creative way to keep her occupied, and make her some money too. Keep on crocheting these fun kitty toys Cecilia, and keep coming up with new ideas for more toys Critters! Thanks from my happy feline family! Maybe jumbo bells crocheted inside of balls?
