Meeko and the Tribble

Shortly before Easter I found a pattern somewhere on the internet for a knitted "cozy" for the Cadbury Easter Eggs. I thought this would be quite cute and clever to give as gifts, so quickly made one. But when I set it on my desk we decided that it looked more like one of the Tribbles from Star Trek than a candy cozy! Tonight I decided to "waste not, want not" and turn it into a cat toy. I filled it with cotton balls and catnip, sewed it shut and called Meeko in.

He approached it warily, caught the scent and had a wonderful time! He fought it, flipped it and rolled all over it. Finally he wore himself out, lay back to bathe, purred real loud and fell asleep.
