A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
I understand the impulse to get “automatic” toys, but that kind of defeats the purpose imo. Most cats want to play with you and the toy, and when you stop they’ll quickly lose interest in my experience.
I get felt mice for my cat. 100% felt, no catnip or other crap in there. Each one lasts at least a year, though they do start getting a bit frayed, but they hold up really well. The best thing about them is how he can grip them. He can snag them in his claws or hold them like a ball, and bite and tear at them and they still hold up.
Sometimes I catch him cuddling with one, but he is always down to play with them. Simple is best.
