Goldfish Cat Toy with fishlips Reviewed by katrijn on 2010-02-24
Love this design and the cats too. I put a bell in it and attatched the rope not on the front but crocheted a little fin on the back and attached it there.
I made two little ')' shaped pieces and sewed them on in the shape of an O for the mouth.
