Mighty Mice

I've never been a huge fan of cats, until I met my neighbor's cat, Dagger—who is half dog, half skunk. Now, I'm a little more cat-open, which might explain why I got excited about the above "plush mice" from the Portland design store Canoe. Designed by Lance Foley & Haruko Fukui, each toy is actually hand stitched from designer fabric remnants gleaned from New York's Garment District, stuffed with organic catnip and fattened up with poly fill, plus they won't look too shabby laying around the corners of your house. Get some at the Canoe website for $8.
