In Cat World there is a great dicussion about things people have learned from thier cats. there are a lot of very good ones I can't post here, so I ecourage all to make a visit and read them ALL

To ALWAYS poach a bit of whatever you are having - sans the onion, & garlic, cut it into cubes and leave that bit on the side of the plate for the moochers.

The cat can tell the difference between your dinner and what you set aside for her - and prefers yours.

That when the human prepares chicken (or turkey, or fish) for dinner the cat is unwilling to wait until the chicken (or turkey, or fish) is cooked.

It is unwise to leave a chicken and muskmelllon salad unantended

Husbands NEVER learn NOT to leave a chicken and muskmelon salad unatended, and WILL howl lowder that a siamese in heat when the cat snarfs his dinner.

Posessions do NOT have posessions, and anyone who shares thier living quarters with the cat is blessed to be the cat's posession

Whatever happened to annoy the cat IS YOUR fault. The rain - it's YOUR fault. The cat on the other side of the window - it's YOUR fault. The other cat that thinks they LIVE in HER house - it's YOUR fault. The paw that got stepped on while she was guiding you down the stairs - is YOUR fault. The chili flake she ate when she snarfed your husband's chicken and muskmelon salad - it's YOUR fault.

The aftermath of having eaten the chicken and muskmelon salad topped off by a bit of fresh grass must be horked up in the middle of the hall infront of the three door way of the bedroom, the bathroom and the office to emphasize that it is, after all, -YOUR fault

Mama has made more kitty (and woofie) quilts for our store. There are several styles to choose from. They range in price from 35-60 depending on how big or how detailed a quilt might be. No two are alike ... I've really gotten after her this year to make many ahead. My paws were so sore by christmas last year from all the last minute inspections I had to do. These are also suitable for lap quilts for shut ins or wheel chair folks, and for baby quilts. See our store at mistywhispurrs.etsy.com and thank you for looking!! our web page is quiltedsquirrel.com.

Wouldn't your dog or cat like his own quilt?! Ours are 100% cotton quilt shop quality fabric, made in a variety of colors and patterns.  Here are samples, no two are ever completely alike. They're approximately 36 x 42, but we can make it larger or smaller as your need dictates. You may request one for the size of your pet's carrier, or bed. They also make sweet baby quilts. They are machine washable. Each quilt reverses to a complimentary single print. There are several styles to choose from. Miss Diamond is modelling "Trip around the Backyard". We also have simple squares, uneven squares, pieced blocks, and pieced triangles
