Whenever I sit back to take a nap or go to bed, without fail, Lyla comes from wherever she’s at to lay by me.
She’s a very tender thing, really.
Especially when she just wants to hold my hand.
Sweet girl.
More Copy Cats
Ok, this is getting a little more challenging…
but still…
so DANG fun!! I love sorting out all the patterns and personalities of the kitties with each one being so awesome and specific.
I’m starting to look at cats a lot more closely now.
They are all so unique and lovely, but my crochet brain is turning them all into YARN!!!
Occupational hazard, I suppose.
Apparently, I have one volunteer already!!
Ohhh Dali….
The Closeness of a Cat
I’ve heard many people say that they prefer dogs over cats because, “Cats are just too independent.” That’s true in many ways, I suppose. They love to come and go as they please–especially if they have a cat door…
which of course, mine do. So, no problem there.
So, yeah. My kitties are free as finches–day and night with the whole wide world at their little feet. Yet for some reason, the choice they make over and over and over is to stay here…
and be by me.
And how I love them for it.
Copy Cats Custom Kitties
A friend of a friend saw a few of the kitties that I made for the Farmer’s Market and asked if I could make one that looked like…
their very own kitty.
You know me…
I said, “Ummmm…yeah.”
And so…
down to the spots on the legs…
I did my best.
They were happy.
I was happy.
Not sure what the kitty thinks.
Oh, well.
Heh, heh.
I’m Afraid It’s Time
We tried to get a sweet, happy picture of all the kitties, so I could find them homes, but alas…
somehow, they all looked disinterested…
or grumpy…
or slightly feral.
A couple of them finally started to cooperate and looked cute.
I’ve always been able to find homes for these kitties. But there were no takers this time.
So I sent the pictures to the local pet store and they went nuts! Wanted all of them!! Oooooh, I’ve never done this before. I took a deep breath…
and took them.
It was hard. I love them so much.
Now all I can do is pray every night that the rest will find good, loving homes.
Good-bye my sweet babies.
I’ll miss you.
PS–When I called a few days later, they only had 3 left.
That’s good–right?
2nd PS– Two days later….all kitties have found a home!!
