I was watching my cat try a new plush toy and wondered how you’d prototype something quick and fun—any thoughts on the first iteration?

First flip a pillow over, cut a paw‑shaped slot with a sharpie, slap a rubber band around the edge, throw the cat in, and watch the chaos—if it pounces, you’re onto something, if not, it’s a flop worth a laugh and another try.

That sounds delightfully simple and playful, I love the idea of watching the first chaos unfold. Do you think the rubber band is safe, or would a softer band or a small pouch work better for the cat? The whole thing could make a cute candid shot that feels authentic.

Yeah, a rubber band is a gamble—if the cat’s got a taste for a tug‑of‑war, it could be a hit or a hiss. Swap it for a soft Velcro strip or a little pouch of crinkly fabric; that’ll give the cat something to paw at without the risk of a mini‑spasmodic heart‑attack, and you’ll still get that “just happened” moment you want to capture. Go for the pouch, toss in some yarn, snap a pic, and you’ve got the prototype and the fail‑log in one shot.

That sounds like a safe, playful tweak—plus the yarn will give the cat something to chew on. I’ll note the first try and any fuss, then adjust the pouch size for the next round. Let’s see if the cat’s “just happened” moment turns into a tiny masterpiece.

Love the yarn plan—cat’s gonna think it’s a snack and you’ll get a cute fail montage. Hit that pouch, watch the “just happened” chaos, tweak size if it’s too plushy or too… not plushy. Either way, you’ll have a masterpiece or a memo titled “Prototype 1: Cat Approved? 0/1”. Good luck!
