Here are pics from the kitties Christmas. The first set is of the tunnel and cat bed I made. The tunnel is a 48 inch long cardboard tube that I covered in flannel and lined the bottom of the inside with fleece. I saw this adorable fleece cat print in the fabric store and knew it would make the perfect cat bed. Sewing it with the kitties was a challenge. The top is the fleece print and the bottom is red cotton t-shirt material....very soft and comfy. The whole time I was sewing it, I kept thinking, I need a pillow this comfy!

The rest of the pics are of the kitties playing with the various toys in their stockings and of the water fountain bowl I got them for Christmas.

What a wonderful tunnel!! Where did you find the cardboard tube? My cats would love one of those... great idea! :)

What an adorable face in the bottom left picture! Is that Scout? What a sweetie! Does he need a license to be that excessively cute? :D ;)

Thanks! Yes that is Scout, my rescued baby I found on my doorstep at 11 weeks. The cardboard tube is called a Quik-Tube(the brand name)...you should be able to find it at any home improvement store. It's suppossed to be used as a concrete building form...but I think it's great for the kitties. In the store, it's usually around the concrete or building forms. Only cost about $7.

O, I love that tube :) If I would be a kitty, I would play with all my mousies in that tube.
I just had an idea how to make a tube like that. Pitty, there is no printed fleece here, only dark colors.
