●Why I started making *Cat Toys*

When Myu was a kitten, he often ate tags and strings of cat toys and even swallowed a rat's tale, so I had to keep my eyes on him.
For a little kitten, his bite force was strong enough to tear off dog toys easily. He tore up and ate toys that were made of thin fabrics, so I had to take him to the vet often.
This experience helped me designing simple cat toys without any tags or decorations that could be hazardous for cats.
Finally, I came up with this current design of Cat toy with Matatabi (Japanese silvervine).


●Nyagomidorokoro Original designed durable canvas fabric

I only use strong durable canvas fabric for nibbling cats with strong teeth.
Cat toy’s fabric is originally designed by Nyagomidokoro.
I hope that both cats and owners will enjoy my fabric as much as we do.


●All of my cat toys are handmade!

I wash the fabric once before making to remove starch from the fabric.
I break each silvervine into small pieces by my hands and put them in a pouch inside of a cat toy. That way the smell of Matatabi(Silvervine) will last longer.
I add extra layers on the area, where cats are most likely to bite, on to prevent tearing. This allows your cat to play with Cat Toys longer than other cat toys.
The stuffing for Cat Toy is sprinkled with the powdered silvervine, which allows the goodie goodness to be distributed evenly.


●Cat Toy has no potentially hazardous parts whatsoever!

Cat Toy has no strings, bells or tags.
Cat can play safely – that is my ultimate goal for making Cat Toys.
