Great ideas. U can cut them up and stuff them in old pillow cases when full sew shut then I use a matching one as a cover for humans society. They do want them. They just remove pillow case to wash. Rather have someone take that home to wash than big blanket!! U can also donate to local kennels that board animals.

But the thrifty bit of me is reluctant to just throw them away. Has anyone found a use for them?

bind them and call them mug rugs or place mats!

I give my fuglies to my friend who breeds yappy dogs. The pups are sometimes no bigger than a rat. She also uses them to line the dog kennels when she is taking them in for a show.

I knew you'd all have lots of ideas! Hadn't thought of adding another layer and reusing - good one, as it'd save on batting.
