Need halp finding a replacement for my cat's toy

Post by **rusty_shackleford** » April 2nd, 2024, 05:03

She lost it and I can't find it. I described it to chatgpt so you guys could help me find a replacement

If anyone knows where to buy a toy like this online, I'd appreciate it.

[edit]
also, it had little bells in it but those obviously weren't visible

How big is the ball? Approximately I mean.

Not very big relative to the cat.

I ask because an ex gf of mine found herself in a similar situation and, after much hassle, we realized it wasn't a frikin toy for dogs (in her case) but a toy for babby humans she had somehow repurposed, at some time.

Looking at the image you posted, this comes to mind:

But this one would be quite big, when compared to a kitty.

Have you tried searching Etsy?

I can't remember where I got it at all

Eh, I'm sure there's no real difference, other than that the dog is smarter. Just compare how much more difficult it is to teach a baby not to shit on the floor compared to a dog.

What you do is hunt down a boar, knife it through the brain, skin it and after that remove its bladder and intestines. Then you dry the hide and tan it, make a half spherical shape out of it, and tie it down with strips of gut. You blow the bladder out but let it be slack, put it inside, sew the the missing half with strips of leather. All that is left is making decorative dyes and stitches if u wanna get fancy.

I got a package of these and she loved them then promptly lost them all within 24 hours.

One or more of those long sausage type draught excluders.
