So the other day, I remembered that we needed a new CwC post... and went to find the P.A. and look what I found her doing!!!!

Needless to say, I put an All Systems Stop on that curtain making project immediately, I mean the sheer nerve of making curtains when much more impawtant things are at paw! 

And now aftur that unexpected kerfuffle in the craft room, we can finally begin...

Felt of your choice x 2 squares

Ribbon of your choice

Pom Poms

Glue ~ hot or cold ~ **Non Toxic**

Darning Needle or similar

Scissors

Cane or dowel rod [optional paint]

Feathers or other embellishment

Dried catnip

1. Take your darning needle [or alternative] and ribbon. Next thread the pom poms of your choice onto the ribbon.  We used 3 pom poms on each one. 

2.  Cut out your fish.

3.  Pin Fish #1 onto your felt and cut out 5 more.

4.  Mew should now have 6 little iddy biddy fishies. 

5.  Take your catnip and sprinkle onto 3 of the fishies.

We used a combo of catnip and catmint which has been drying under the carport fur a few weeks.

6. At this point we decided that the fishies needed some fins, so out came the pink feathers again.  We glued the feathers in place and the ribbon too.  Next we glued the blue fishy to the pink fishy to make one whole catnip fish, and repeated the entire process twice more.  Finally glue on the fishie's eyes - we used smaller black pom poms fur this].

7. Take your cane or dowel rod [we used an old bamboo garden cane and sprayed it white].  Tie your ribbons to one end.  Now as our ribbons were all off cuts and random lengths we made our fishie's hang at different intervals.

8. Wrap and glue more ribbon securely offur the end to secure the 'fishing lines' in place.  We decided that a little more embellishment was required at this point and added a few more pom poms.

9. Then we thought the other end looked at little sparse, so we repeated step 8.

And here's what your Let's Go Fishing Teaser Toy should look like now as modeled by Queen Amber.

The Let's Go Fishing Teaser Toy was a real hit here at BB HQ, with Amber taking top prize fur keeness, purrformance and enthusiasm! Sadly I didn't get my paws on it as aftur Amber had slobbered all offur it I decided to put in a request fur a new one! MOL MOL MOL

There are many variations which mew could make such as:

Only have one or two fishie's

Have no fishie's and use any shape mew like

Decorate the wand any way mew like

Just before we go, we must say:- NEFFUR EFFUR leave your kitty unattended with: 

When we're finished playing, we always make certain that the ribbons or string are wrapped around the handle before being put away in the toy box until next time.
