How To Keep Dogs and Cats From Fighting
Give the cat her own safe area to escape to when she needs it and keep her food bowl and litter box in a separate area from the dog. It might be a good idea to keep it permanently blocked from the dog by a baby gate or door.
..:::How To Pet
Decide on the toy shape: mouse, heart, ball or whatever shape catches your fancy.

Make a pattern by drawing the shape on a paper grocery bag, leaving a 3/8-inch seam allowance around the design.

Cut the pattern out.

Fold a piece of the scrap material you wish to use to make the toy, keeping the nice sides together.

Pin the pattern onto the scrap material, and then cut out the pattern.

Straight stitch a 3/8-inch seam around the cutout, but double check that the right sides are together before you do.

Leave about an inch opening in seam.

Trim the seam at the corners or curves, cutting from the outside to the edge of the sewn seam.

Turn the toy right-side-out, and fill with dried catnip.

Hand stitch the remaining 1-inch opening closed.
