Today has been a day of productivity, creativity and cute-ivity. \u00a0I share with you a fun way to recycle with some extra recycling and cats. \u00a0What a perfect combination!<\/p>\n
As you have likely realized, I have a love of striped socks. \u00a0So much so, that naturally said socks must eventually acquire holes. \u00a0As I tend to have a random but vaguely-frequent-enough crazy and striped sock expansion program, there is not a lack of new socks to enjoy.<\/p>\n
BUT my poor, well-serving old striped socks, to just throw them out is sad. \u00a0Sad socks are sad. \u00a0We don’t want sad socks. \u00a0Or wastage when it isn’t necessary.<\/p>\n
New life was found!<\/p>\n
So simple, combine knee high socks, catnip and (in my case) shredded paper. \u00a0I tied a knot at the ankle (so the catnip wouldn’t fall out the hole in the foot, of course), poured catnip into the sock, then shoved a bunch of shredded paper (ooooh, double-recycle whammy!) and more catnip into it until it had a good solid shape and size. \u00a0Tied off the other end and voila!<\/p>\n
I made a huggable, kickable, lickable new cat toy.<\/p>\n
Cat approved:<\/p>\n
