Cat Companion - Buzzy Mouse

This is my second post about Breaking Cat News crochet. One of the characters, Puck, has a close bond with his toy called Buzzy Mouse. Buzzy goes most places with him and has his own cat coffee cup etc.

I wanted my own Buzzy Mouse, so I made one, and here is the pattern.
