Books For Cats
I've done Books For Cats as a catnip toy item for two years now, and it just hit me today for the first time that -- DUH! -- I never even considered doing a 'scratch 'n sniff' book! Talk about missing the boat!
So I've spent MORE money on fabric that looks like book covers (sorta) at WalMart and will try making up a bunch of sets of those for selling.
I also like the name 'boogie mats' that some cat toy places make (flat placemat type items that have catnip between the fabric layers), and think I can do up something similar but call them 'meditation mats' instead. And not make them so big, the ones I've seen were a foot by two feet large almost. Anything the size of a piece of standard typing paper would be fine. I've certainly got enough catnip to play around with larger items.
The Boogie Mats are around $9 each. I'd be making a good profit on mine even if I priced them at $4 each.
A variation on it--I think worth a try too!--is something that looks like a spreadcloth for a tarot deck, with a card layout on top of it so the cat looks like they're doing a tarot reading. Geez, I've got my own Chat du Marseille deck I made, I could reduce down the cards and use 5 of them in an arched spread (color the cards too), and tack the whole thing down with a sort of quilting that catches the card tops and bottoms so they don't shift. They'd be under see-through netting and would stay right in place that way. Hmm. Harry Potter Kitties doing Divination Classes.
