My two little fluffy loves, Shade and Huey, are nearly 3.5 years old and still play like kittens. Recently when I was cutting up tee shirts to make kitchen rags, I used a few pieces to make Asher a Rope Toy, which he loves! But I felt bad that I hadn’t made anything for my cats. So, I created this fun Dowel Rod Cat Toy from the hems of the tee shirts.
You will need:
1 dowel rod
2-3 tee shirt hems
wood glue
First loop the hems from the shirts over one end of the dowel rod.
Then braid a few of them together.
Add feathers or jingle bells for added affect.
Next, use the wood glue to secure the hems. I simple squeezed glue at the end and pushed the hems over it and back down a few times.
Let dry for 24 hours.
Now, you have an awesome Cat Chaser toy for your kitties!

Ooh awesome! We have two cats that are getting a little older but still love to play, I might have to try making one of these!
SO easy! I bet they love this!
Your fur kids are so cute!!!
Thanks! I love them so much!
This makes me miss our kitties! We gave them to a new home before Kenley got too attached. 🙂 Cute idea!
Oh kitties!! I am allergic but cats are just so cuddly.
Oh wow how cool! I wish I had cats, so i could make this!

It’s so easy and mine love it!
Cute idea! Love that pic of all your furbabies looking up at you!
Thanks! I have tried to recreate it multiple times, but it was pure luck!
Fabulous idea! I don’t have cats, but I’ll pass this on to my cat-owning friends! 🙂
Oh, that’s so cool you can make that!
My kitties prefer homemade and I think they love this because these tee shirt hems smell like us.
Yet another thing to make for our pet – thanks for the easy idea!
Now I’m feeling guilty but every time I get the cats a toy or make them one they’re not interested. However they are quite happy to play with all the things they’re not supposed to!
I don’t have a pet, but I love your DIY pet toys! 🙂
