Recycled fur cat toys SPECIAL PATCHWORK EDITION
Much more than just a toy… a true new companion! 🐱❤️
Discover the SPECIAL PATCHWORK EDITION: my little works of art for your cats!
Crafted with my scraps of genuine recycled fur, these companions are all unique. Take advantage of the available models while supplies last!
⭐ What distinguishes the special Patchwork edition from the conventional model?
✔ Even more artistic workmanship
For this special edition, I sew together small pieces of fur, one by one, to create a unique assembly of textures, colors, and patterns.
This requires more construction and sewing. It’s my way of pushing my creativity even further, while giving a second life to my smallest scraps!
✔ A pom-pom that moves a little more
On the conventional model, the pom-pom is attached directly to the body of the toy.
On the special Patchwork edition, a small cord connects the pom-pom to the body. When your cat bats at it, the pom-pom has a little more freedom of movement!
✔ Will my cat like the special edition more?
Honestly, your cat will probably not notice the entire artistic difference… even though I put more work into it! 😁
The movement of the pom-pom might please them, but that does not guarantee they will prefer this edition over the conventional model.
If your choice is based on price, the conventional model remains a very beautiful option. The special Patchwork edition is above all the pleasure of choosing an even more artistic creation and a unique assembly. ❤️
Imagine your cat carrying their toy everywhere with them, rubbing against its soft fur, and even snuggling up next to it…
For many cats, this toy quickly becomes much more than just an object to play with: they truly seem to adopt it as a precious companion.
Its natural recycled fur and the small pinch of catnip it contains invite your cat to explore, play, and follow their instincts.
That is exactly the kind of photos, videos, and comments I regularly receive from my customers.
Each cat reacts in their own way: for some, it becomes a toy to hunt; for others, a little companion they like to keep close by.
So you won’t just be giving your cat a toy… you might be introducing them to their next best friend! 😁
Play also helps keep your cat active and stimulated, while helping them fight boredom.
Many of my customers like to alternate between two toys: one containing catnip and the other a few treats. This little rotation can renew their cat's interest.
⭐ Why do cats seem to love it so much?
✔ The texture of genuine fur
Genuine fur offers a texture and scent that attract many cats and invite them to explore the toy in their own way.
Seeing them rub and snuggle against their ArtAbaska Companion, one might almost believe it reminds them of their mother’s softness… but that’s just my little theory!
✔ The best-kept secret is still there… 🤫
Under the belly of the toy is a small hidden compartment where you can add a pinch of catnip or a few treats suitable for your cat.
There is no Velcro, and that is quite normal. I intentionally designed the toy this way to allow your feline to discover what is hidden inside while they play.
Your cat will be able to smell it, manipulate it, roll it around, nibble it, and chase it to try to discover their little treasure.
Before each shipment, I personally add a small pinch of catnip so that your cat can discover their new Companion and its “wow” effect as soon as you present it to them!
❤️ A second life for my smallest scraps
I craft these toys with my own artisan hands, in my studio, from scraps of my collection. They come from old genuine fur coats that were the pride of many women between the 1960s and 1990s.
With the special Patchwork edition, I go even further in recycling: the small pieces are assembled and sewn one by one to form the body of the toy.
Each assembly becomes a small artistic creation, with its own contrasts, textures, and colors. No two can be replicated exactly the same.
Rather than leaving these magnificent scraps unused, I offer them a second life by transforming them into companions for cats.
I love the idea that such a noble material continues to bring joy… this time, to a completely different member of your family: your beloved kitties!
You can also discover my other creations in the various sections of this shop. You will find very beautiful gifts there for someone you love… give them some ArtAbaska!
🐱 Every cat is unique
Some cats adopt their Companion immediately, even if they aren't usually big players. They may carry it gently, keep it near them, leave it in their favorite spot, or sleep beside it.
Others become true hunters: they throw it, shake it, nibble it, and chase it all over the house!
However, some cats will show little or no interest. Each cat has their own personality and preferences; therefore, it is impossible to guarantee an identical reaction for everyone.
The photos, videos, and comments I receive from my customers nevertheless let me discover beautiful stories between cats and their ArtAbaska Companion!
🐾 Little tips to renew their interest
✔ Store the toy in a safe place for a few days, then bring it back out. The novelty effect can revive their interest!
✔ Alternate between two toys, with a small pinch of catnip in one and a few treats in the other.
✔ If your cat reacts well to it, you can also use a catnip spray intended for cats directly on the toy. 🐱❤️
📦 What you will receive
An ArtAbaska Companion from the special Patchwork edition, meticulously crafted from small pieces of genuine recycled fur, assembled and sewn one by one.
✔ A unique assembly of textures, colors, and patterns.
✔ A pom-pom connected to the body by a small cord, for more movement.
✔ A supple, genuine leather tail, adorned with real embroidery.
✔ A small pinch of catnip already placed inside.
Each creation is unique and the choice is random.
The colors, patterns, their arrangement, and the types of fur are chosen at random according to the available materials. It is therefore not possible to choose a specific assembly. The photos show examples of this edition.
The general format remains similar from one toy to another, with the natural variations inherent to artisanal crafting.
Maximum of five toys per order.
📌 Important information
Why doesn’t the compartment have Velcro?
This is an entirely voluntary design choice, just like for my conventional model.
The compartment is left open so that a small amount of catnip can escape while your cat plays. It is therefore completely normal to find a little bit on your floor: it is part of how the toy works.
This opening allows your cat to explore the compartment and discover the catnip or small treats you have placed inside.
The absence of a closure is not a manufacturing defect.
If you are looking for a completely closed toy that never lets catnip escape, this product will likely not meet your expectations.
Durability
This toy is made from genuine recycled fur, a natural material. It is crafted with care, but it is not indestructible.
Some cats will play gently with their Companion for a very long time. Others, much more energetic, may damage or even destroy it quickly. Its lifespan therefore varies according to your animal’s way of playing.
The special Patchwork edition features several assembly seams as well as a small cord between the body and the pom-pom. Regularly check the condition of the entire toy, especially the seams, the cord, the pom-pom, and the tail.
Safety
This toy is intended for cats and must be used under the owner's supervision.
It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that it is suitable for their animal and to regularly check its condition.
Do not let your cat swallow the cord, the tail, the fur, or any other part of the toy. If a piece detaches, if the cord frays, or if the toy shows signs of deterioration, remove it immediately.
Store the toy out of your animal's reach when you cannot supervise its use.
🚚 Shipping
