Chubbs - KING of Greenhouse

I am Chubbs.

King and Guardian.... 

of Greenhouse. 

I earn my keep. 

Unlike other certain habitants of this household.

Kings must be paid for their services. 

NEVER interfere with a King and his Nip Bit!

Then they retire to bask in a chosen sunbeam. 

The time has come! After 30 some years of waiting and wishing......

Stevensville, MT

I'm moving to Montana! 

I'll be leaving in July with my sister, who has also decided she is tired of Ohio, and we will drive with whatever we can fit into our cars. Everything else must go! Chubbs, her kitty, and my guinea pigs, Tooey and Violet, will be coming. I will be looking for homes for my other piggies. 

Since Chubbs will be traveling with us, he needed a harness for our rest stops. I have not made such things before, so like any good creative soul, decided this was a good time to try! He has never been in any kind of clothing or harness before, so this was quite a shock to the fat guy! Fat indeed! He has 22" girth! 

As you can see, Chubbs has some adjusting to do! 

I had such fun making this one, that I made another 'plus size' kitty harness-jacket and listed it in my shop. I do believe these will become more populous in both Mewmart and Catcalls! 

I will try to keep you posted on our preparations. I am having a moving sale this Saturday, June 9 and my sister is having one June 23 to raise money for our trip.  So we have plenty to do. I have very little - she has much more! LOL

Prayers are always welcome! For both the leaving and the traveling.....

I CAN'T WAIT!!!! 

An Unexpected 4 Legged Drop In

I cannot have cats where I live. So I content myself with making things for cats and that are cat-themed. But God must know how I feel at times, because twice in the last month I have had visitors. I have no screen on my back door so I often  leave it open for a breeze. Here is my interpretation of what happened several days ago. 

*****

Hmmmm.....what is this? An open door? I must investigate. Oh - Oh...an itch. Must scratch...ahhhhh.

Isn't this nice. A cozy cushy. Smells OK. Don't sense any other occupants of the fur nature. I'll make sure to give it quite a few rubs and leave some pretty black hairs.  

AhHA! There IS another cat here! Why....but wait.  It's only a fake. HA! Fooled me. I'll just check out the rest of this place. Not very big at all. Nice lady though. She gave me some good belly rubs and talked very respectfully as she held a funny silver thing in her face. 

I'm feeling a bit hungry. Nice pad, but no treats. Toodles my friend. I may be back. 

(Moseys into the yard where he immediately finds a plump grasshopper for a snack.)

I hope I get some more visitors! 

Crazy Cute Raggedy Catnip Dolls and Catnip Bed

Mewmart was my focus this week! MewMart is a shop ONLY for cats. Kind of a cat's Walmart...only on a very small scale. I wanted to add a couple of new toys so I cut out these cute little pink polka dotted heads and felt backs. I added a face on the felt side but then thought I might as well add a face on the other side. 

I was going to sew them and stuff them with catnip and polyfil. But they just didn't look  like enough fun. Cats like long skinny things to toss around. I know they really like the braided tails on my Snakey Mice . So how about a braided body? Floppy and fun...like Raggedy Ann. 

They turned out much cuter this way and have got the funniest PURRsonalities! 

I'm thinking I should make some non catnip ones  for dolls in my Catcalls shop. 

 I was on a roll and had an idea forming for a cat bed. I wanted to add catnip to it but also wanted to make it so the catnip could be removed, refilled, and replaced. I drew a nice fat kitty and cut three pieces of fabric...suede, fleece, and cotton. 

After assembling them, I quilted the tummy to the back leaving a little opening at the bottom.

 I made three little Nip Bits filled entirely with Organic catnip that can be placed inside the tummy. So kitty can both sleep and play on his fat cat nip bed! 

Happy kitties = Happy owners!

MewMart has Chubby Plushy Catnip Toys!

I am having lots of fun with my new shop, MewMart! It's THE place for CATS to shop! I envision cats walking by a physical storefront with their moms and dads and insisting on stopping to look in the window. They see fun organic catnip toys that they can almost smell through the glass and comfy cat beds for all the sleeping they do. They purr and whine hoping to get a paw inside!

Here are a few of my latest additions to the shop - chubby plushies. Just click on any of them and you be will escorted to the INSIDE of the store! 

Have fun all you kitties!
