Failed project...

... is a success!

Well with me, little Chillimus, anyway. You see, mom isn't really the crafty type of mom, but lately she has begun to do some wetfelting and crochet. Only all the good stuff was given away as presents! Don't get me wrong, I love to see a good furriend happy, it just would have been nice to keep something for us too. So mom agreed to do a crochet kitty bed for me us.

I helped during the complete process. That wool looks good!Flossing seemed impawtant to me. Mom said it isn't.

Tester kitty is pleased. Now turn the lights off.

Mom says I was the biggest help when the bed was big enough to already lie in it and she had to turn me around in it to be able to crochet further.This is what the bed - which we named Frootbed in the meantime - looked like before it was felted in the washing machine. By felting the wool the whole thing shrinks and gets sturdier (or so mom thought). Notice the wavey rim and the three lines in the pattern - do you think they look nice?
And this is what it looked like when it came out of the washing machine. "A mess", to cite mom here. The decorative brim and pattern had disappeared completely and it was much smaller than she intended it to be.
And it wasn't sturdy at all, in fact it collapsed under me. Mom wasn't happy with it at all.But I still liked it and played with it, afterwards trying to crawl inside. Look at my cute Hermit Crab impurrsonation!
So mom simply turned over the brim. Now it's sufficiently sturdy. And although it is quite the tight fit it's purrfect for sleeping in it. I have been glued to it ever since! It's great for the kitty circle...

... and for the kitty loaf.

Thank you mom, I love it!
Purrs,

Easy like Sunday

This picture reflects nicely what I am planning to do today.

Hopefully Chilli wants to have a calm day too. Here she is relaxing in the comfy bed she - eh, we - got for her birthday. It was supposed to be for the two of us, but Chilli has claimed is as her purrsonal bed.

Isn't it a bit unfair? The little one gets the comfy bed and I sleep in a box on the floor...

Sigh, being the big sisfur is hard sometimes. Literally.But I would never disturb my sweet sisfur's slumber. Just look at her!

Oh, we got news from Dado: His owner texted back and said that she was sorry to hear he's causing that much trouble, but doesn't know what she can do about it. Mom suggested not to let him roam that much and to try to make their yard escape safe - but she's not sure if the woman is willing or able to do that. Apparently another mancat has taken over Dado's yard and he had to search himself a new territory: OURS! While shopping for groceries mom met Frida and Lilly's human. She asked her about Dado and the woman told her that Dado is peeing all over her terrace and their patio too. She had put out a litter box for him, without success. She was very keen on having the phone number of Dado's owner. We have nothing against Dado or his owner, but it's really bad that he's causing such a stirr-up for us and our neighbour. We hope the woman finds a way to change this situation. In the meantime mom has placed the evil squirt bottle outside to have it at hand... (shudders).
A relaxing Sunday to all of you,
Siena
