And how about this chic one?!? It makes me want to make one for ME!

So, since my cats are my fur-babies, it makes perfect sense that I would make them a tent, right? RIGHT?!?!?!

Moving on. Here's the finished product, and Trotsky enjoying it. Both cats really like the tent, especially when the flaps are closed.
Here's what I did:
I bought the base at the pet store. It's just a cardboard cat bed. The cats like the corrugated cardboard. What cat DOESN'T like cardboard?
Then I drilled four holes in the cardboard. Then I cut four dowels down to the size I wanted it them. The rest was just done by eye. I had two Fat Quarters of Anna Maria Horner fabric that fit perfectly, and then I used two other fabrics for the flaps. I sewed holes for the dowels to go through and added some velvet ribbon as tie backs for the flaps.

And that's it, really!

haha i LOVE this!! i've been thinking about making a kitty play palace for a little while, so thanks for the extra inspiration :]
ReplyDeleteps your kitties are adorable!!
And may I say that Jay-Z is all kinds of cute, too!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cats seriously love it. They often just sit in there and look outside. Or they curl up and sleep in there.
My sister and I joke about how the cats love to go camping. And Trotsky, who's a polydactyl, can use his extra toes to build a fire, and then they enjoy making tuna smores.
Yes, we're dorks. :)

I LOVE this!! Belly button(my son named our cat) would love it. I'm afraid I fall in the crazy cat lady category...
ReplyDeleteTrotsky spent the day yesterday curled up and sleeping in it. You know how cats love enclosed little spaces? That's why the tent appeals to them!
ReplyDeleteBelly Button is a ridiculously cute name. :)
