Stuff the KittyBy: Kayla Lischner

De-stuffed Cat

The de-stuffed cat is what you may consider the “board” for this game. The cat was cut with scissors through the center and then the stuffing was removed. I then sewed one piece of ribbon to each side of the cut to prevent the cat’s threads from fraying and eventually unraveling.

Yes my sewing skill is lower than level 0.

Cat Food Items

These were made by hot-gluing green ribbon to differentiate between the items. The white ribbon was hot-glued in order to write the item names and pounds. All CAT FOOD weighs 1 pound. There are a total of 20.

People Food Items

These were made by hot-gluing yellow ribbon to differentiate between the items. The white ribbon was hot-glued in order to write the item names and pounds. Each one of these items has a different weight. The lowest weighing item is the HABANERO(2 pounds) and the highest weighing item is the FRIED FISH(6 pounds). There are a few duplicate items as well. There are a total of 20.

Biohazard Items
