Cardboard Cat Creations: Viral Video Shows How to Make Free Pet Toys from Toilet Paper Rolls
A recent viral video by TikTok user 'thatcatducky' has showcased an innovative approach to pet enrichment, demonstrating how to transform common household items into engaging cat toys. The video, which has garnered significant attention, provides step-by-step instructions for crafting three distinct cat toys using only empty cardboard toilet paper rolls and scissors. The creator illustrates the process of making a 'spring toy' by spiraling a cardboard tube, a 'treat dispenser' designed to hold and release cat treats, and a 'pull-apart ball' constructed from interlocking cardboard rings. A 'fringe toy' is also featured, created by simply cutting and folding a roll. The video highlights the potential for sustainable and cost-effective pet care, suggesting that 'who needs expensive toys when trash is treasure?' This trend aligns with a growing interest among pet owners in DIY solutions for their companions, promoting both environmental consciousness and creative engagement. The creator advises supervising cats during play to ensure safety and prevent ingestion of cardboard.
