Baby Octopus Sushi As A Cat Toy

Been working on 'baby octopi sushi' as a cat toy, with the intent of packaging them two to a container as a set.  The online pictures of octopus sushi are sort of gross though.
              

Yuck, right?  It's much better when you cartoon it up a bit. I've been using gray polar fleece for them and cut the octopus out as a U shape 2 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches long, rounding the 'head' and leaving the bottom open after only stuffing the top half.  A gather stitch right under the stuffed area ties off the tentacles, and then you only have to add the bead eyes and take a scissors to the unstuffed bottom and cut 1/2 inch wide slits up towards the body to make the tentacles.  They flop loose, just tack down the stuffed part of the body to the 'rice' rectangle it's sitting on.

 

I'm thinking of using other colors with the fleece, even mottled or patterned types to add interest.  They all get the black felt 'seaweed' wrap around the rice and octopus of course.  I tack that down on the bottom and in the center where it goes over the body, to keep it from sliding.
