Catnip eyeballs

Etsy seller Hannapt's catnip eyeballs are a grisly hoot -- love the idea of little Moggy chewing ferociously on a felt eyeball, a glazed, feral, stoned gleam in her eye. Link (via Craft)

Kinda remind me of the eyeballs GLaDOS has in Portal.

I can't help but wonder whether or not the maker of these things was inspired by the scene in Jerzy Kosinski's "The Painted Bird" during which the jealous miller uses a spoon to pluck out the eyeballs of a 14-year-old plowboy and the cat then plays with the eyeballs when they fall to the floor. I read this book 30 years ago and that scene still disturbs me!

Hello, Im the maker you speak of. I have not read that book but maybe I will now. I just wanted to let anyone know, as there is some confusion, that the link with the picture says "Sold Out" but I have plenty more minty fresh eyeballs on my shop page
