Look what I made for the girls!

[Kirsten]

Yesterday I decided to build a kitty bed for them. I made a wooden frame (wanted it to look much nicer, but obviously I'm not very talented in making furniture! ). For the bottom, I bought a plate of styrofoam that I wrapped into an old cotton blanket. On the top of it, I placed a folded fleece blanket, because I know the girls love to sleep on those.

As soon as the bed was ready, Lily tested it. Funny enough, she immediately crawled under the duvet:






After a while, she had to find out what's at the bottom:





It took Luna much longer to give it a try. First, she was very reluctant and careful:




But after a while, she seemed to be more comfortable:




Besides, the bed is very large, I wanted it big enough for two cats, because usually my girls cuddle a lot. Unfortunately, since Luna feels so ill lately, they don't spend any time togther, another sad side effect of her illness. I hope they will use it together one day!

What a great idea, it's very cute! And at least the girls did not ignore it, it's a good start. I am sure they will cuddle together in a few days

[Kirsten]

Thank you!

Oh yes, they use it a lot (but still not together), right now Lily is sleeping there and she's looking kind of lost because she's a tiny cat in a big bed!

he-he, your girls look like little extra-spoiled princesses in their new bed and they deserve it, of course. Kisses to them both, and head-bumpies from Peppito and Jasmine

Now of corse the Found Cats all want a home made bed too.
I will have to see what I can do with the left over lumber from the Hotel Renovations.
You did a Fantastic Job,Kirsten and Lily and Luna say
Wunderbar,Momma!!

OH, what a nice, comfy, cozy bed you made for your babies. I'm sure they will cuddle more once Luna is feeling better. And, it's so pretty with the blue!

Only a "cat Mom" would think of doing that and it looks fine to me! They will enjoy that for a long, long time....

(I suggest making a cover to put on the foam matress before they swollow some of that styrofoam and you have another problem on your hands.. A cover where they can't get to it.)

You're absolutely right, I will do this!


BTW, they are sleeping next to each other on my bed right now! It's the first time since Luna is feeling so ill that they are so close!

Great job Kirsten!!! When will you start taking orders???

[kimlovescats]

What a nice bed .... kitty tested, kitty APPROVED!

[Cataholic]

It looks quite nice to me!

[Felix]

Great idea,kitty comfort.

[momcat]

You did a great job building the bed your your girls! Very impressive, we can now add "kitty karpentry" to the list of all your wonderful talents. A job well done, Kirsten!!!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

What a great idea. I'm glad that they approve.

[catnapper]

Thats wonderful! The best cat things are the homemade ones. I know how creative you are, so I can see you painting the wood with some great decorative design, and everybody would swear you paid hundreds of dollars for it in some designer pet store!
