ABSTRACT:
A method for making a mouse toy for cats comprises the steps of (a) providing a strip of flexible sheet material and an elongate flexible tensile element, the strip of sheet material having a width shorter that a length of the tensile element, and (b) wrapping the strip about the tensile element proximately to one end thereof to form a substantially cylindrical roll of the strip about the tensile element, such that opposite ends of the tensile element extend from opposite sides of the roll. Upon formation of the roll, the opposite ends of the tensile element are drawn towards one another and tied in a knot so that the roll is deformed to assume a partially arcuate shape and so that one of the opposite ends extends in one direction and the other of the opposite ends ends in a substantially opposite direction, whereby the deformed roll and the tensile element together assume an aspect of a mouse. A long end of the tensile element becomes the analog of a mouse's tail while the other end, if sufficiently short, can take on the appearance of a foot of the toy mouse formed in accordance with the present invention. The arcuate shape of the roll again simulates the appearance of a mouse's back.
