I used to scoff at people who sought out organic clothing, even though I’m a firm believer in organic foods. But what I’ve since learned is that cotton fields are typically heavily treated with pesticides, which can’t be good for either humans or pets (or the environment). I not only encourage you to make your own cat toys, but I encourage you to use only organic materials.

Organic cotton balls
by HobbsIt would be silly to try to stuff a pillow with these (facial!) cotton puffs, but unless you’re making dozens of cat toys, just a few balls are needed for each project. I always seem to be left with a bag of fill after any project. At least with these, they end up in the bathroom vanity and get fully used up!
