You don’t have to go to the store to get a “gadget” like this – you can easily make it yourself.

  • thick cardboard;
  • a piece of fabric that will be enough to cover the cardboard;
  • several skeins of thick yarn or wool;
  • scissors, needle and thread.

So, first, cover the cardboard with fabric, after which you can start making pom-poms – just like in technology class at school.

You will need quite a lot of yarn pom-poms – enough to fill the entire surface of the cardboard.

Now sew the pom-poms firmly to the rug – that’s it, the base is ready.

All that's left for you to do is hide pieces of your pet's favorite treat between the pom-poms.

Offer your cat a new game and watch how enthusiastically your pet will search for treats.
