Treat-dispensing Origami Cat Toy

 by chuCraft

Step 1: Materials

You will need:
  • Two squares of paper, roughly in a 2:3 ratio to each other
  • Scissors
  • A cat treat
If you aren't familiar with how to make a square from a rectangular piece of paper, here are two different methods. Use a paper that will take a crease well (not construction paper!) and is at least as heavy as your average printer paper. You might want to make the outer ball out of a heavier paper, such as an old magazine cover.

Made these with the whole family. Failed to realize that boxes were supposed to be two different sizes until after already created, but easy to fix. The link to the video was helpful when we had a question as was shortcut for creating squares. Best part is the cat LOVED the toy.

Glad it worked out! I'd love to see some pictures of other cats playing with this toy, too, so feel free to post one here if you have any.

This is great! I'll have to give it a try. I also have a furry black cat named coco, and she needs more toys.
