It’s Monday again already. I made a big mistake yesterday and left the vacuum on the enclosed porch last night without emptying and flea spraying it. Then I let Millie and Penny out there this morning and when MIllie came back in, I could spot 3 on his white fur-arghhh! Luckily, he didn’t have a capstar pill yet so he will be getting one today.
Today is fun and games day. About 6 months ago I learned how to use my sewing machine so I could make cat toys, beds, etc. I made a mat by cutting two rectangles about 12 inches by 20 inches and placing them so the printed side is inside then I added a piece of quilting batting in between and sewed around 3 sides ( about an inch in). After that I turned it inside out ( so the printed side showed) and added catnip. Then I stitched all around 3 and a half sides ( 1/4 or 1/2 inch in from the edge). I didn’t do all 4 because I left space for a velcro piece to refresh the catnip. It only took about 15 minutes: 
. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can always let your kitties play Twister instead: 
Good job Phoebe, left paw blue and butt on red 🙂
Have a nice day everyone!
Nice and very simple ! Purrs
I hope your mom makes you one.
My human used to sew… except she was really, really bad at it! I don’t know if I would trust her with making a cat toy or cat mat!
Sparkle, if I could make this mat then I am sure your mom could too. I just ordered your second book from BarnesandNoble.com .
We love that twister blanket! We will nag our Mommy to make us a mat.
It is actually my niece’s beach towel, it came with a little spinner too.
We are going to try to get Mommy to make us a catnip or silvervine mat. 🙂
I hope she does, maybe she can put catnip and silvervine in it.
Thanks for the tutorial on the catnip blanket, that is great and we love that twister action too!
