The Cushy Cabinet Post

Does anyone recall when we got the blue cat tree that Leo has now almost totally destroyed? Remember that we put it next to the cabinet I inherited from my gramma because I thought the top of it would be a good place for the kitties to nap? It took a while, but Leo finally made it to the cabinet top (see these two posts: Leo's Cabinet Post part 1 and Leo's Cabinet Post part 2)

Star still hasn't gone to the second shelf on the cat tree and Leo rarely went up to the cabinet top. Though he LOVES sleeping on the shelves, diving on them and getting the whole thing out of whack, and scratching the heck out of what's left of the carpet on it. Star pretty much ignores it now, not worth her time I guess.

It still bugged me that no one wanted to nap on that cabinet top. (if you read yesterday's post, that is NOT the shelf I'm talking about!) So I decided that maybe it wasn't comfortable enough. I had previously bought some pretty pink flannel thinking to make Star a new cat bed to make up for her not getting to use her butterfly blanket as much as she would like. (Though no one is stopping her, she doesn't seem to like it when it's on the bench.) She found other comfy places to sleep so I never got around to making it.

I didn't know if it would be wide enough, and I didn't want Leo sliding off the cabinet top if it moved around! So I didn't sew up the sides, leaving it flat. I had Greg tuck it under the plastic boxes up there to keep it still. It was plenty wide, so it hangs down the back a bit. So it up, then we just waited to see if Leo would notice..

Ok, I admit it, I was thinking more about Star than Leo when I bought this material...

But if the great King Spitty can have a Pink Beddy, then Leo can have a pink sleeping mat! Right?

 

 

I wish wish wish I'd seen him noticing it! And climbing up there! But I didn't. I just saw this:

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

 

 

What the... Oh hi mom.. thought I heard the camera turn on..

I like the cushy bed, but I could do without the flashy flash.

I'm just going to ignore you now and get back to my nap. Maybe if I hide my face in my tail you wont have a usable picture..

Sorry Leo, that just makes you look cuter! Like a fuzzy vampire or something!

Be prepared for more pictures of Leo up there because he has decided he loves it!

A quick note on the Spread The Love FUNdraiser. When I showed off the Love Knots I said they were red with paw prints. I only got so much of that fleece, thinking it was a standard and I could get more at any time. Apparently I was wrong! As I've about run out of it, I had to substitute it with a solid red fleece and a pink tie dye fleece. So now the love knot fleece with be one of these patterns at random. I've changed it on the FUNdraiser post but I wanted to make note of it here anyway.

Of course there is still plenty of time to join in on the Spread the Love FUNdraiser! Four love inspired toys for a minimum donation of $15 to the Winnie's Wish Rescue!

Help us to spread the word about the FUNdraiser if you can, and also about the need for adoptions!
Thank you!
