new kitty pics...and for the crafty...

While I was at Home Depot, I picked up this Quik-Tube. Basically, it's a large round cardboard tube/tunnel. It's suppossed to be used as a concrete building form. I'm using it to make a fabric covered, fleece lined cat/ferret tunnel...like the ones you find in stores anywhere from $15 to $30. This tube was only $7 and is 12 inches in diameter and 48 inches long. I'm sure any home improvement or large hardware store would have it or something like it.

I got the idea from a website that cut this in half and used the tubes to attach to a cat tree they were making(of course, they attached it after covering it in heavy duty fabric or carpet.) You can keep the tube whole/round or cut it into a half moon shape and make it like a cat bed to attach to a cat tree. They were attaching this to a small step ladder that they had covereed in sisal rope and voila...instant cat tree!

I just bought my 3 cats their stockings today. I now have to put their names on them and find a good place to hang them so they can't knock them down. :)

What a super idea !! Ihaven't found ANY kind of cat-tunnels around here:( , so , my first trip will be to a hardware store !!! Thanks !!:D :D

I love the pics especially the ones of Bixby under the tree and the one of him looking right at the camera. I love his face markings.:)
The stockings are so cute, you are gonna have kids someday too aren't you.;)

Your pictures are always so cute! :) I love how everyone has their own stocking...our three cats share one...but its a large one. :)

Great idea on the tunnel! I'll have to check it out.

The operative word being someday ;) I still need to graduate(next semester :D ), get a more stable job, would like to buy a house first...and oh yeah, get married before having a child. That's hopefully what I intend to do, but plans always have a way of changing. Of course Joey would love for us to get married next year and start having children a few years after that. We're so not ready for that. Plus, I tell him let's see how we warp one child first before we start planning on more ;) :p

Great pictures and such a good idea.:)

chinadoll, your babies are as precious as ever! :)
Great idea about the tube! You'll have to post a pic of the completed tree when it's finished! I've been thinking about building my own, because they are just so expensive in the stores! Ugh!
