Note: I received a few comments that the finished toy is a little big for a cat toy. I'm sure a smaller hook size ( 3mm to 4mm) will deal with it. My sis also suggested an elastic for the spring to make a better bouncing effect since we don't have elastic yarn lol. Moreover, I bet a bit of stuffed catnip in the body part would be great though :)
