crochet a mouse cat toy

This simple cat toy is super-easy to crochet.  I recently made one for my 14-year-old granddaughter to use with her three cats, and she was delighted.  She actually broke a smile when she saw it.  The kitties were interested, too, as she pulled it across the floor, and especially liked watching it jump around across the rug.  The Mouse Cat Toy crochet pattern requires just a small amount of yard, so you can use up some of your remnants.

I enjoyed watching this fluffy cat take a peaceful kayak ride on a German river.  A gentle rain at the end is a nice touch, too.

Max is a badass cat

Once upon a time, my family also had a Max cat that was also a badass.  I took him to the vet countless times for abscesses he picked up from fights.  Once he was surrounded under our car by four big, and very mean, raccoons.  My husband assured his safety that time by chasing the raccoons away with a broom.

The Max cat in this video is being threatened by three coyotes.  This Max was also able to fend off attack until his human came to the rescue.  In this case, it was all captured on home surveillance video.  Take this as a reminder to keep your cats inside and perhaps build them a nice catio outside.

this cat loves butter

My kitty Barney knows it is weekend breakfast time when we let him join us at the table. Only two paws are permitted on the table. We serve him a teeny, tiny bit of butter and he makes a feast out of it.

crochet a fat cat bean bag

To make this sweet kitty bean bag, begin crocheting at the bottom and work your way up to form a little basket that narrows into a kitty cat.  I made this for my delighted 9-year-old granddaughter.  She checked in with me regularly to see how her kitty was coming along.  I asked her to help me fill the kitty’s tummy with beans (we used black-eyed peas), and let her select from my scraps the color that she wanted to use for the whiskers.  When it was finished, she especially enjoyed squeezing it and so far I haven’t seen her throw it.

crochet a snow storm of snowflakes

I consider this easy crochet project seasonal and make them fall through winter.  As with my other little crochet projects, I indulge during down time when visiting my grandchildren and leave the finished snowflakes behind for them to find as they will and hopefully trigger memories of Grandma.  I did discover that the kitties really enjoy these snowflakes, too.
