This unlocked an old memory of my friend’s little sister putting cat food inside of her dolls.
She’d always bug us to play dolls with her. One day we obliged but were confused by this wretched fishy smell.
This little 4 year old girl said without looking up “oh yeah that’s the cat food I put in them, so the cat will play dolls with me.” Like it was the most normal thing ever. Kids do weird things.
That’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…a long time. I googled it to see if it’s what I was thinking of, the one with the plastic cherries, and yup!
I vaguely remember cutting doll clothes and their hair, with scissors. Then I was banned from using scissors for a quite while. What the logic behind was, that I do not remember. Later though, I cut a hand off from one, but that was, because I wanted to play with the doll being a crippled warrior.

First, wash the dolls thoroughly to get the cat food out, and hopefully the plastic doesn’t absorb the smell.
Then season your dolls lightly with catnip. Refresh the seasoning as needed.
Note that some catnip brands are better than others. Growing your own fresh is amazing if you have the green thumb.
Note also cats will get over saturated to catnip exposure. Wait a week or two between re-seasonings.
Works on non-doll items as well!
Crunchy?
Kid logic is simultaneously very clever and very silly lol. I had a cousin put BBs in her ears to keep bees out. She got an ear infection lol.
But did she get bees in her ears?
She did not.
That’s because 2 Bs are stronger than one
Did it actually work? Wet cat food spoils pretty quickly and cats are usually offended by the smell at that point.
I don’t think so. I know her brother immediately told on her, we were 6yrs old in comparison and that’s what you do at that age.
So her Mom came up and yelled at her about it and took the cat food stuffed toys away. I was relieved to not have to play with his sister anymore.
After that we played “Hi Ho Cherry-o” in the dining room well she was sobbing in the living room talking to their mom, but I tuned everything out.
I never heard from them later in life. We moved away before I was out of elementary school.

My knee gets a little stiff when a cold front is coming.

I remember playing with food and toys as a toddler
