Safe for cats?

I thought making a small toy or 2 for my cat. Is paracord safe for cats to play with and/or chew on?

Gift for my brother

Not sure how it happened, but he's a Seattle Seahawks fan (we were raised in the midwest). Think he'll like it?

Paracord Planet quality?

I've ordered from paracord planet for quite a while now, mostly because they have a great selection of colors, and I haven't noticed any issues with the paracord (I've pretty much just stuck with 550 cord)

However, a couple years ago I ordered some 100ft hanks for the first time and noticed that the sheath felt "lose" on the paracord. There were actually spots that I could feel the core strands folded back about a quarter of an inch. And if I pulled the cord through a corner, I would notice the sheath starting to bunch on the other side. I'm not experienced with how paracord is produced, but I'd say there was an issue with tension in either the sheath strands or the core, or both.

I didn't think much of it (assumed it was a bad batch) until recently I got another 100ft hank and had the same issue. I've only noticed it with 100ft lengths, but I haven't done any comprehensive testing by purchasing different lengths. (It should also be noted that the 100ft hanks I purchased were also colors I haven't purchased otherwise. Plain white and Ranger brown)

Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Is it something to do with how they cut longer lengths?

Any suggestions for phone lanyards?

I bought an Otterbox React lanyard case, with the intention of making my own wrist strap, but I’m struggling to come up with a decent idea for what to do. I made this 9L34B Gaucho knot strap on a rifle clip but it’s a bit too bulky. Ideally it would be something removable but hold up against someone making a grab for my phone.

Animal collars/leashes safety standards

Hello everyone,

I'm wanting to make animal collars and leashes but I can't seem to find what the safety standards are for these? Does anyone know where I could find this information. I live in Canada.

I have made collars for my two cats so far.
