Is craft store felt safe to make cat toys with?
I have been growing catnip for some time now, and I want to make some cat toys with it. I’ve stitched some shapes out of plain ol’ craft store felt – but will it hurt my cats if they chew on or ingest the felt? I’ve done a search and seen a lot of cat toys made from "felted wool" but I’m pretty sure that’s not the same thing.
Absolutely it’s safe and it sounds like a great idea. In fact, it’s likely a better quality than much of the stuff out there for sale already.
Don’t get me wrong it’s not safe for the cats to be eating the stuff. But it’s not poisonous either. They can lick it and chew on it. It’s basically the same stuff the toys are made out of when you buy them.

Wash it first to make sure the dye doesen’t run.
