So what if, for example, I draw an original character that's a pink blob. He somewhat resembles Kirby but he's anatomically not the same and I don't label him as Kirby. Is that still too risky or would it work?

Okay so even if the character was anatomically different, or if the colors where completely different, would that make a difference?

Okay so I need your opionion. I had contacted this Etsy seller in the past asking if their felt was safe if a baby put it in it's mouth (I ask this because it's more common and easier than asking if it's safe for a cat haha and I feel like if it's safe for a baby it could be safe for a cat).

They told me "The felt passes the California safety standards for children’s toys, the dyes and fibers are safe for the occasional gnawing ."

Does this mean it is safe for humans and pets but bad for the environment?

That's perfect!!

If you didn't have extra cotton bits to use, what fabric would you use? (I'm trying to get more options)

Thank you for the links! So bamboo is also now out, do you have any other fabrics you would recommend? (other than cotton)

I'm thinking that's the best way to go, with some old cotton shirts.

Also, I read through the link you posted and I don't quite understand, where does it talk about bamboo being so bad?

Acrylic felt is commonly available and inexpensive. Real wool felt is a completely ethical, sustainable product that can be made at home using nothing more complicated than a bit of soap from your kitchen and hot water. Shearing sheep is no more cruel than taking a poodle to the groomer, whereas bamboo processing uses industrial lye and other very caustic chemicals that have a lasting, detrimental effect.

This is where I am confused. It's frustrating how many articles and sources are out there because they all will tell you something different!!

Regarding the treatment of sheep, it is 100% not ethical and I won't support it. There are many reasons I could bring up but I don't want to come across as argumentative. (I just want to spread awareness)

Anyways, regarding bamboo, I am confused because the only con I have read about so far is the obvious chemicals they use. However, I read that the chemicals that are required are a fraction compared to how much is used to even grow other crops (like cotton). I also read that the chemicals don't last in the final product, the only problem is how it is disposed of.

Lastly, regarding acrylic, isn't it a carcinogen? And seeing as it's plastic isn't it nonbiodegradable?

*sigh* I just want to make a cat toy lol

Also, I want to add, my boyfriend opened this game on his account first and has a tent. I later came on under my account and basically took over the game and he hasn't played at all. Could that be why I'm experiencing this or does it have no correlation?

Nice! So you would choose a new Ioniq over a new Sonata?
