    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!



    And of course...even though Joey thinks I'm nuts...all the furries stockings:


    Tiff and the ever expanding krewe
    Scout, Gigi, & Bixby -the kitties
    Rory, Lola, Jax, Max, & Lulu -the ferrets

    Great idea! Thanks.

    The legend says that Mohammed adored cats. When one of them was sleeping on his sleeve and he had to go out, Mohammed supposedly cut off the sleeve so as not to disturb his pet.

    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.

    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.
