Artist Heather Muise crocheted a decapitated rat head and filled it with catnip in order to create a delightfully macabre cat toy. This probably seems totally normal to the cat.
She also made a severed finger catnip toy, but I’m not sure that sends a message to the cat that I’m entirely comfortable with.

My fat cat would love this! It reminds me of the time he was chewing on something… I was like “What are you eating?!?!”… then he spat out a gooey mouse head!!! AHHHH!!!
