DIY cat toy box

[period of obsession] 20 min
[goal] DIY a peek-a-prize cat toy box, retail US$40


[items and tools]
- one empty cereal box (or any narrow cardboard box)
- some tape to seal ends, also to anchor the toy on the floor once finished
- blade to cut
- an empty toilet paper roll to draw shapes
- a pen to draw


[step 1] trace the shape on the box


[step 2] cut out the shapes


[step 3] drop cat toys into the box with holes


[done] It's my toy until Misty gets here! (cost - next to $0!) When given to cats, better to tape it down to the floor for better play. (Otherwise, the box is too light, it can fly across the room in one kick.)


[and...] thread a string through the circle cut-outs, and turned them into toys, too!
