I keep working on the Bucilla felt kit to make a cat themed wreath. So many tiny stitches. I laid it down to take a progress picture and Izzy the cat decided to investigate.
The stuffed candy cane the cat is holding is the smallest stuffed object I have ever done, so far. The project has many, many tiny stuffed details.
I picked up a heated cat house from a friend that no longer needed it and put it up behind the coop. We have cats that come and go from the colony next door, and as winter heads in a warm spot might be appreciated.
This is really a payment for services for the outside cats. They kill venomous snakes and rodents. I have personally seen a meadow cat carrying off a rat, and my husband saw one with a copperhead. The population of the colony has stabilized with just a few that return as the temps drop.
Izzy the cat has decided that Missy’s bed is the best in the house, much to Missy’s dismay. So I bought a new round dog bed so she had a safe spot again. It isn’t quite the same as her rainbow round, but when the cat rules, you make the best of it. I was actually hoping Izzy would go to the new bed, but no, there is just something about that rainbow round.
Today I present Thor the gray tabby as he posed on a bench.
He’s a pretty boy, scared of everything, except mice and bugs, which he brings in from the catio, sometimes still alive.
Izzy the calico cat has not had much face time on the blog lately, so here she is being her regal self in a basket I was getting ready to pack up for a spinning demonstration.
