Before I created the Quick and Easy Cat Bed, I had started on my own cat cocoon.  I bought this super soft yarn (Bernat Velvet) and I searched Pinterest for some ideas, but nothing seemed to work with the yarn I already picked out, so I created my own design.

It didn’t quite come out the way I envisioned.  I used some metal floral arranging hoops that I hoped would give it some form, but not really.  If I were to make it all over again, I would probably just make a sac with no support.  Well Tabitha loved to curl up in it while I was making it.

And after spraying a little cat nip in it, Pumpkin and Oliver fought over it.  Pumpkin won.

I also tied a little ball inside for a toy to play with:

I guess they can’t all be winners.  Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we think they will, but I think the cats will probably still use it to snuggle in.
