Awww, they look so comfy!

[lvpets2002]

:) How Nice.. Boy Howdy they sure all looks so Adorable & Comfy in the beds..

[happylabs]

That is so cool! I love it. I don't know if I comprehend the whole process though.

I love all the pics of the sleeping kitties too. :) :love:

[Queen of Poop]

Oh, thank you for sharing this. Love your kitty pics with their new home made beds. I think Cali and Diego will love beds like this as they are
"fiends" for fleece! Will give it a try!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

It is really very easy!! try it, and you'll see!!


Friends from me made beds too!! Here are a few of their pics:

Looks simple enough. I might give it a shot and make one for my son's cats. That could be a nice little extra income maker, especially around the holidays.

Oh my gosh!! I love this idea! I make tie blankets all the time as gifts. This is the same idea (I assume, I didn't go to the link) and they are super easy! I'll bet my kitties (and even the doggies) would LOVE this!

[smokey the elder]

I see they passed inspection!:D They look so comfy!

[neko1]

*gasp* I love them! I will have to try it:) Thanks for sharing :love:

[cassiesmom]

The beds look very comfortable and the models are beautiful!!

[Taz_Zoee]

I'm even thinking of just making new covers for existing beds. Maybe add some polyfil to make them fluffier. :)
I may even make some as gifts for my animal lover friends.

[Scooter's Mom]

Those are really cute! I may have to learn how to make some for my little ones.

[mrspunkysmom]

Now I want to make some. :D

I will say this about her directions. If you fold both pieces together at the same time, you create two circles of different sizes. Fleece is thick and the folding makes the inside circle smaller, thus the pull and wrinkle.

It seems that you figured that out. Your other pillows don't poof like the first one. But all are beautiful. I like the colors.

I have some fleece blankets that a neighbor made for me. She used a simple knot and that kept one side from pulling on the other. She just tied the tags off like she was tying a thread.

Although I do like the poof. :)

The critters will want some. :D :love:

They're adorable.:) I've made cats beds in the past but they're the cat condom beds. I'm sure there's also a thread some where on PT about them too. I found the link to the thread about them: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=70758&highlight=condom. I still have a lot of fleece material that I bought just to make cat beds.:)

Here are some cat beds that I've made in the past:

Oh my goodness! There are so many beautiful kitty models showing us these beds! What a great thread! I wonder if Cassie would sleep in a fleece bed because she does like to nap on my fleece blanket. Hugs, kisses, scritchies and lovies to the kitty models! :love:

[Laura's Babies]

OMG! Those are SO CUTE!!! :eek:

[Freedom]

I made one of these! I have photos in both Dog General and Cat General, my crew of 15 is enjoying the bed VERY much!

I got 2 pieces of fleece in the remnants bin. One piece was 1 and 1/8 yard, the other was 1 and 5/8 yard; I did not cut them down just used them as is. So my bed came out rather LARGE, lol. But the cats and the dogs are loving it!

Thank you for sharing this info with us. I too shared the info on 2 other forums, and now many pets are enjoying new beds. :love:

[happylabs]

My friend Deb has two cats. We were going to make the beds together but we haven't gotten together to do them yet. She couldn't wait so she made one last week.

The first pic is Tigger by herself. I guess both cats loved the beds so much that Cali came up with Tigger. They get along well but don't usually sleep together.

[Freedom]

Ahahahaaa, typical, if one has something new, the other MUST get involved!!!

[Misty_Pearl]

OOOH.. I am going to have to make a couple of these. Those are awsome. Cute models everyone.

[neko1]

I just made one for Neko's 15th birthday:

[Freedom]

Neko, isn't it comfy? Enjoy, sweet boy.

[neko1]

Hector says 'it looks like he's sleeping on a cloud'.....Neko loves it :love::D

[happylabs]

Finally got my fleece bed made. Buddy loves it. I'm going to have to make two more though.
