About The Playful Cat

The Playful Cat

I’m Debbie, the owner of The Playful Cat and I love making handmade toys.

A few years ago, a friend's daughter was very anxious about going to school. I knew that she loved turtles so I knitted her a stuffed turtle as a surprise gift. The next day she went off to school with a very happy smile on her face.

So, when a friend asked me to make one of my knitted elephants for her, I realised that people really appreciate handmade toys.

Whether it’s a Valentine’s Day bear for a loved one or a soft teddy for a baby or a little crocheted catnip mouse for a friend who loves her cat, I can make your gift a bit more special.

If you have something specific in mind, either a different colour or a particular design, then please get in touch with me. I have an extensive range of colours and different types of yarns (cotton, acrylic, wool, snuggly soft chenille etc.) in stock, as well as a variety of toy eyes and noses, ribbons and beads to add that final touch to make each toy truly unique.

I live in the beautiful countryside of Nottinghamshire with my teenaged son and our 2 cats.

I named my shop after our little girl cat who simply cannot resist pouncing on anything and everything that so much as twitches.
She and her brother make us laugh on a daily basis with their antics.

Welcome to The Playful Cat.

Debbie
