Tomato Stalk Realistic Crawling Spider
Tomato Stalk and Cotton - Untied
The realistic spider made from a tomato stalk is something my Dad taught me. Many cats and kittens will happily hunt butterflies, flies and house spiders. However, by making your own reaslitic-looking spider, you don’t need to worry about damaging nature’s insect population.
Equipment Required:
- Top of a tomato stalk
- Cotton thread, ideally a dark colour
- Scissors
I actually had to re-make this toy as Leia ate the last one! I wasn’t looking and she managed to find the toy on my desk and eat it!
Tomato Stalk and Cotton - Tied
All you need to do is to cut off the top of a tomato stalk, and tie a length of cotton thread around the stalk. If you drag the stalk along the carpet, you’ll notice it crawls just like a spider. The dark thread just makes the thread a little harder to see, making it more realistic for the kitten to play with.
Tomato Stalk and Cotton - with Leia
I warn you now, this toy will not last very long! You’ll get about 10 to 15 minutes play before your kitten shreds it. However, they will love you for it, so keep some spare tomato stalks and cotton ready to make some more.
