Cat Toy for straws

thingiverse

Cat toy designed to hold plastic straws for cats to bat around. The one which is uploaded is the third version shown in the last image. It uses less plastic and the center piece won't turn over making the hole inaccessible. Bend the straw as shown in the image before putting it in the toy and cats will have a hard time getting it out. It can still be removed with a little bit of force without damaging the print in my experience. You can also stick something like a stuffed animal on a stick in it as well. the dollar general in my area has some cheap ones that work as shown in the last image. I recommend printing the last 5-10 mm with solid infill using a height range modifier so that the toy will have a lower center of gravity and bounce back a bit. I found it necessary to slow down the printer for the first 3-4 layers when switching from 15 to 100% infill.
