Hearty The Valentine Fleece Organic Catnip Bell Cat Toy




Hearty is a very happy fellow and wants to find a home with a cat to play with!

Hearty is made from red and pink fleece. His body, hands and feet are red hearts. His arms and legs are pink fleece with elastic inside them. His eyes are made from white fleece and black felt. He has a pink and red heart shaped nose, and a pink mouth. His body is stuffed with organic catnip, one large bell and fiberfill.

Hearty's body measures approximately 3" by 3". His arms and legs measure approximately 3" long.

If you adopt Hearty, I would love to have a picture of your cat playing with him to put on my blog. You can send the pic to me using the "Contact AllAboutCats" button on my Etsy shop's main page. Be sure to include your cat's name.

Hearty is an original of my own design :-)

Hearty is an entry in the EFA Artists Helping Animals February "Love Is In The Air" Challenge. I will donate six organic catnip bell toys to the North Country Animal League in Morrisville, Vermont when Hearty sells :-)

Nikita's New Bed

A couple of weeks ago I made a cat bed for my daughter's cats. My daughter's dog, Nikita, kept trying to get into it which just wasn't possible, so I made her a dog bed. She loves it!



Nikita is a border collie, malamute mix who was found on the streets of Minneapolis when she was about six months old. She was near death, but a vet brought her back to health, and then my daughter adopted her. Nikita will be 10 years old in June.
