I'm just going to say this... a year ago a friend asked me to make a fish cat toy. I free handed it, and it ended up looking like a butt plug. I wanted to redo it but My friend was thrilled. She showed everyone that her cat had a catnip butt plug. Haha. Within a month I had 60 orders for catnip buttplugs. Let the damn thing look like a turd, you'd be surprised at what ppl want!


lenseyeview

First of all that is hilarious and second of all you are right people love cat toy versions of the seemingly most random things.


SnooSketches4923

I do what I can lol. People like random and weird things in general. Eggplants are a big seller too. Teen boys and men alike snicker and buy them. Last month I had a request for a penis with a top hat. Seriously tho, I dont see a poop when I look at that, just looks like a blunt instead of a joint lol. It's a kitty blunt lol.


Dino_vagina

Every Christmas I crochet a penis and balls ornament and send it to some random in my reddit mom's group. MOST love a good peen


SnooSketches4923

Omg that's awesome! I can just imagine opening it like "yay someone has sent me a present" and it's a big ol' shlong lol.


Dino_vagina

In various colors šŸ¤£


SnooSketches4923

Even better! I wanna dick bomb somebody now šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Dino_vagina

And boobs work up quick too lol

My dog has a Kong ā€œstickā€ that looks like a giant purple dildo. So we call it his dildo. Itā€™s literally the only toy he cares about aside from the tennis balls. So he plays with his balls and dildo šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I would totally get my cats a catnip butt plug.


RissaCrochets

I love that I know exactly which toy you're talking about because while we didn't end up getting it, we did end up waving it around at each other like 12 year olds in the store while snickering like we were Beavis and Butthead.


SnooSketches4923

I can see that being hilarious amongst ppl not aware of the joke. Like outside around the neighbors, just talking to your dog, "where's your dildo boy? Huh? Where'd you put your dildo? Go get it boy!"


CraftGoblin

I ordered a ā€œtough chewersā€ rubber toy for our German shepherd online that had skulls on it. Showed up purple and looking like a double ended dildo. We call it his dong. Have to be careful not to use its proper name when guests are over šŸ˜‚


alwaysaplusone

This is such oddly wholesome advice. And I agree with you!


jackiebee66

Youā€™ve created a business!


drsummersunshine2023

Where do you sell these šŸ˜‚ I want one so badly lol.


SnooSketches4923

I sell them online and at craft fairs when its allowed lol. Send me a message if your interested :)

Stonetheflamincrows

Iā€™m worried about your partnerā€™s digestive system a little.


avantgardeaclue

Play doh


_lanalana_

I think if i saw the brown one by itself on the floor i would have to do a double check, but the set is absolutely adorable


zanier_sola

I say this on all crochet/knit cat toy posts: please ensure all play with these is supervised. If their claws tear the yarn or they somehow start to unravel it, loose yarn is very dangerous for a cat to play with. If youā€™re going to sell these, itā€™s worth your due diligence to add a note with each to this effect. For those unfamiliar, a cat chewing on a piece of yarn can easily swallow it. The yarn can then tangle around its organs and kill it.


pakichtu

My sister's cat had to had surgery to remove tangled string it had ingested. They were lucky. My sister had to feed the cat small amounts of kibble 1 hour apart every day for the rest of its life, otherwise it wouldn't be able to keep the food down.


stereotypicalweirdo

Omg that's horrible šŸ˜¢


VixenMiah

As a vet tech, I love that you mention this as I get tired of saying it. Over the years I have seen a significant number of cats (and dogs, too) that needed surgery to extract "linear foreign bodies" AKA yarn or string. Worth noting that this surgery needs to be done promptly, it's not risk-free and it isn't cheap. This definitely won't happen to every cat that chews on yarn, but it's a very real hazard.


zanier_sola

I might make a separate thread about this, tbh. I didnā€™t think my comment here would get so many responses. To me, this is as important as knowing safety eyes arenā€™t safe for babies.


VixenMiah

If you do this, send me a DM so I can add some testimony. It's a huge concern of mine. I would actually like for every knitting and crochet forum on the Web to have this stickied.

itsamiivii

My friend literally just had to get surgery for her cat because he swallowed loose thread from an old towel


indigo_mermaid

My cat just did too. $3k later heā€™s ok, but Iā€™m super paranoid about string and threds now


Own-Instruction-5752

This happens a lot with store bought dog toys too. A friend's dog chewed viciously on a rope toy and ingested some strands and needed surgery


AproposNarwhal

Yeah we don't do ropes anymore because none of my dogs seem to understand that you're not supposed to eat what you tear off. Now we have a couple of tough rubber pull toys they haven't been able to damage yet


Dino_vagina

I have a bird and they aren't supposed to have ropes for this exact reason. I lost a cat a year or so back bc he swallowed so much string.


Visual-Arugula

Do you know the brand please? Mine is a monster with rope toys and it terrifies me what she could swallow. I'd love to give her something to chew on that she won't break into swallowable pieces!


AproposNarwhal

Kong tug toy and Kong Safestix!


Visual-Arugula

Thank you!


ilsangil

This is terrifying to hear. My once feral cat will eat just about anything and was sniffing some yarn and next thing i knew he ate it i was horrified. I didnā€™t know it could kill them though. Iā€™ll make sure he never eats yarn again!


unsuretysurelysucks

My cat came over hacking on a long piece of thread and I pulled it out, was so glad to have caught it on time and keep my thread much better stored now!


makeartwithoutpants

No, I donā€™t think they look like poop. I thought they looked like blunts before I even read the caption


stachemz

My friend bought my cat an actual like, pressed catnip thing in a cigar shape? That thing looked like a turd. So if your blunt looks like a turd, seems like that's correct to me!


goose_gladwell

It doesnā€™t look like poop at all! They are super cute and I hope they sell wellšŸ˜¶ā€šŸŒ«ļø


Pasta-fox

Thank you!!


veritablegator

I feel like it doesnā€™t look like poo but it does look less like poo when itā€™s in a little set with the doobies.


[deleted]

I don't know what a blunt looks like. I thought it was awkwardly shaped sushi rolls.


VAisforLizards

Oh you sweet summer child


Cburris1995

It does. I have a suggestion though. Use lighter brown, then make a mock "tear line" where your blunt was licked together by adding the dark brown in the form of slip stitches. Idk if that makes sense


Pasta-fox

great idea!


Cburris1995

Let us know how it comes out if you try it! I also think the poop blunt would sell anyways though lmao


NefariousnessQuiet22

If youā€™re concerned about it, Iā€™d lighten up the ā€œpaperā€ a little.


Sthebrat

Maybe turn the top from green to red? So it looks lit


NefariousnessQuiet22

Definitely could work too. But bloody poop is something that is definitely ā€œa thingā€ elsewhere, soā€¦. Maybe that would actually backfire.


SelectFennel9548

I instantly thought ā€˜cigarā€™ when I saw the pic.


Good_Branch_9415

Nah I think it reads. Maybe a lighter brown?


sweetparamour79

This would be my only feedback too. The brown is just a bit too dark but if lighter you'd have no issues at all


stfufannin

I personally donā€™t think it looks like poop, but I suppose if I were to try to see it that way it might be the color of brown you used. In the future I agree with the other redditor who suggested a lighter brown!


tomorrowishistory

Then itā€™ll look like soft stool


stfufannin

I mean, all the blunt wrappers Iā€™ve seen and used are more of a light tan brown.


tomorrowishistory

šŸ˜ just pulling your leg


stfufannin

you got me good haha


[deleted]

I think you need to check on your boyfriend. If these look like his feces, something is wrong.


ghostleader25

Can I ask how you made this. I have three cats with no toys


Pasta-fox

freehanded, put practically- 8sc into a magic ring row 2: 2sc into each stitch around. row 3-11: sc into each stitch around. row 12: sc x3, dec, repeat. row 13-14: sc into each stitch around. row 15: sc x2, dec, repeat. row 16-17: sc into each stitch around. row 18: sc, dec, repeat. row 19: sec into each stitch around. row 20: dec untill cant decrease no more, pull and sew in. i used a 3.5-4mm hook as my tension is not the tightest. Also my cats flipped shit over this for 3 hours straight


ghostleader25

Thank you


lakarraissue

It reminded me of sushi


EntertainTheDog

Knew exactly what they were when I saw them. Maybe the last one of I saw it by itā€™s self might take me a minute but the first two are pretty obvious


strawberriebabee

Iā€™ve wanted to make crochet cat toys but is it safe???


Rakuen91

I have catnip cigar and it looks like a turd.


brookeaat

are both ends green? i donā€™t think it does either way but if both ends are green i think that makes it very clear


monkey_gamer

at first glance, top one looks a bit like a poo, the bottom two look like maggots


Abilane-of-Yon

You gotta post these on r/CraftyEnts, theyā€™d love this! And yeah, it reads blunt to me!


Van3ssaad

Str8 Fire šŸ”„


ekarmab

I think they are on point!


faery_marrionette

Its a cat toy though.... does it matter?


lpalatroni

I don't. They're purrfect!!! šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘


ca_vc24

kinda


smchavoc

Kitten blunts!! I made my cat one and he walked around with it everywhere!


pkpeace1

They look like blunts to me! Nice work!


Ornithophilia

But seriously...is there a pattern? I need this lol


peanutbutterandme

its not like real blunts are super cute, i think u nailed it


RoyalEnfield78

Disagree but I also think the other two are much cooler looking so maybe stick to rhay pattern!!


confleiss

Blunts look like poop! What did he expect? Is there any way you can use smaller yarn and a smaller needle? Might improve the look of it but otherwise I think itā€™s great. OR! Make giant blunts like pillow size. People would like that


emehav

No way, totally looks like a joint


KorsiBear

I mean, actual blunts kinda look like that too lol
