Create, over and over again. When you are passionate about DIY ('do it yourself' for the uninitiated), there are countless hours spent in creative leisure and in search of inspiring ideas. And sometimes, the pretty creations tend to pile up. The right alternative? Offer his achievements! A way to satiate his creative fever and make fun at once!

The easiest ? Perhaps it is to design toys that will make the happiness of Felix! The master-word of these realizations thought to amuse and entertain the animal? Efficiency and recycling . The idea is not to spend days and nights crafting a cannon toy because, with its claws, the cat is likely to damage in no time the gadgets we spent hours to realize. With a big disappointment.

  • a cannon basket and unique : want to change traditional baskets and not always very nice that one finds in the trade? Knit one XXL knit, the result will be stunning! And we can choose a color matching our interior decoration. What more ?
  • a cat tree or a leisure trail 'home': here also we are happy by concocting playground guns.
