The True Meaning of Thanksgiving--Cat Style


HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving is celebrated in various ways. My felines have decided the best way to spend Thanksgiving is napping the day away. Indy is the kitten on the pillow, then Scooter, Yakkie, Zippy and of course Mr. Tigger. I guess they voted Pokey off the island and had to find other accommodations.
Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Is This Basket a Keeper?

I made this basket over the weekend and Yakkie sure did take to it. She thinks this is HER new bed. I showed it to her and she immediately hopped into it and went to sleep. Then after a few minutes of napping, baby sister, Miss Indy jumped in the basket and the fight was on. I checked
on them a few minutes later and Miss Indy was stretched out
in the basket. Not sure who won that battle.

I am still working on the design for the cat basket. It is made from
cotton piping and cotton fabric is woven along the sides to hold it
together and hold the bottom to the coils. I am thinking the
piping will have to be covered so it doesn't fall apart when washed.
The bottom is cut from a thick blanket. I am planning on putting a mat in the bottom that has catnip in it.

Keep checking my blog or my web site on Etsy to see when I have the baskets added. http://www.coloradocatniptoys.etsy.com/

Let me know what you think about my newest creation. Do you think your kitty would be happy napping in it? Leave me a comment.
