I hope you're having a relaxing start to your Monday morning. Oddly sure is.

Indoor Tents... for CATS!

Okay, I am a bit embarrassed to post this project as it's a bit "Crazy Cat Lady" of me to have even made it. BUT look at these cute tents for kids!!!

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

From here.

 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.

Oddly peeks out.

 And that's it, really!

Trotsky waves goodbye!
