This looks cool! I wonder if my kitties would like some to play with, I think I will make some for them (they seem to like items I have crocheted vs. toys from the store).

I love these but in Number 1 the second picture looks like you made slits in the sponges looks like maybe 2 on each sponge. Did you do this, I don't see it in the written directions.
