OUCH! Who Shut The Window?

Winter is coming to SW Colorado. My 6 cats use my bedroom window as a cat door when the weather is nice. Last night we had a nice rain shower with a cool breeze so before I went to bed I shut my window. Well, one of the young kittens, Miss Indy or Zippy smacked the window. I guess they didn't read the memo about the window closing for a while. I really felt bad. Neither of the cats were acting goofier than normal when they came in, so whoever bonked there head was okay.

I have a cat door that lets them into the garage and then into the house. Well, for the last few years, it seems my garage has turned into a poopy pan. I know my cats contribute along with several of the neighborhood cats and strays. So this winter, they are all getting shut out of the garage. I had one of the guys in the bodyshop where I work cut a hole in my metal door and install a new cat door. The cat door is in the middle of the door because I have a severe skunk problem and they have been known to come into the house. I had to put my outdoor picnic table up against the door so the cats can jump up on it and can come in. We had practice the other night. All 6 of them mastered the new door. So when it does turn cold and I have to turn on the heat and close all the windows, they still have a way into the house.

Oh, the things we do for our pets. My cats are my kids, so nothing but the best for them. I even have an electric blanket for there side of the bed. But they still like to snuggle up close to me. Some mornings I get up and wonder if they had beat me up. But they love me.

Check Out My Dog Shop

Colorado Catnip Toys has another shop on Etsy called "Two Sleepy Dogs". Most of the dog quilts are the the same great quilts I have in my cat shop, except I have removed the catnip toy. Your small dog or puppy will love snuggling in there own personal quilt. I have 3 different sizes of dog beds--21x21 inches, 28x28 inches and 34x34 inches. Each quilt is handmade and washable. I use 100% cotton fabric with fluffy quilt batting. Custom orders are welcomed. Check out the colorful quilts at Two Sleepy Dogs at

Miss Indy And Her New Catnip Toy

Tonight I made a new catnip toy and Miss Indy was my tester. She thought it was wonderful. The toy is braided fabric and one of the braids has catnip in it. Miss Indy hasn't yet learned to appreciate the "magic" of catnip, but she is learning. When Miss Indy and I get the toy perfected we will get a couple listed in our Colorado Catnip Shop. Toy would make a great Christmas stocking stuffer.
