I made this as a *thank you* card for John & Linda, our gracious hosts at the Cooperstown Bed & Breakfast. They have a piano in their house, and they know of my love for cats...I showed them pictures of our cats while we were there. I always carry a small *brag book* full o' kitty pics!

The rubber stamp is from House-Mouse and is called *Do-Re-Meow* (I have this image on a sweatshirt as well!). I stamped it onto cream-colored cardstock, colored it in with chalks and pencils, and cut it out. I then mounted it on a green panel, which was then mounted on the orange panel. The bottoms of both were cut with deckle-edged scissors.

I glued a strip of brown cardstock, also deckle-edged, onto a cream-colored card, and finally attached the image over that with gold eyelets.

This was the bed before felting. Reese says "What is this?" 

Here is my first completed Kitty Bed for the Petfinder.com Kitty Bed Knit-a-long. I think it turned out rather nicely.  

As you can see, Lucky really likes it and wants me to make one for him. 

I've joined a group of knitters, knitting cat beds for Petfinder.com. In an effort to find homes for Senior cats, who have a hard time finding homes, Wendy started a group over at YahooGroups for knitters who would like to knit a cat bed to send home with a Senior cat who is adopted. Most people want to adopt kittens or young cats and don't think about adopting a Senior cat. If you are a knitter who would like to join us, please go over to Kitty Bed Knit-a-long and sign up. We are trying to get as many done as possible by the beginning of November. If you aren't a knitter, a crocheted bed would probably be accepted as well. And if you aren't talented in the knit or crochet crafts, I'm sure they wouldn't turn down a donation of any kind. Better yet........why not consider adopting a Senior kitty.
