CATBED - Recycled and approved.

Postby grizz » Fri Oct 05, 2012 12:15 pm

Found this on the pavement this morning..... Fridays are rubbish bag days around here, so for me time to be extra vigilant.

A Cat or Dog bed, some bits were missing, but the four legs were all there next to it.

Brought it home to approval from Nicola... the cats were not impressed... must have been a dogs bed.

Image


The cover was grubby and hair and vomit stained, fortunately it came off around the edges where velcro was doing its job.

Image

After washing it, I fitted and stretched it straight back and left it in the sun to dry out.

I also had one of the blankets that I bought about 6 years ago to use as seat covers for the 1977 Audi 80 GLS Estate I had at the time...... the others have been used as cat blankets etc over the years, so this was the last unused one.

Image

I made a pair of ribbons from the ribbon that it was around the blanket, these were to use on the front legs of the bed.

Image


I then laid the blanket open and sprinkled some Super Turbo Catnip from America on it and folded it closed.
Wrapped the bed, stapled it securely around the edges, added the ribbons.....

Image


Et Voila !!!!

Image


First to test drive the catnip bed..... Tabitha.

Image


Almost 12 years old, she instantly turned into a cute kitten.

Image


Next in was Dopey Duke the dope head... he loves catnip.

Image



I guess that means it is approved.

Just waiting to see if Harley the fearless comes in tonight, its raining outside.
Greetings from England.

Hoping to get it all done in time.
