After seeing all of the expensive cat beds at the store, I decided to make one of my own. They looked easy enough, and making one was bound to be cheaper...and boy, was I right! I spent ten dollars on supplies and still had enough to make two other pads and a cat toy - besides, I still have fabric, foam and filler left over. What a deal!
Here it is:



And Ditto modelling it for us.


They all ADORE it!

Oooh, that does look pretty cool! And the tassels are something nice for the kitties to chew on! Great job!

Thank you! I did have to do a bit of sewing - the button on the bottom you can't see, the "edges" together and the button onto the bottom. Mostly it was just the thing that you do for tie blankets, though, and because of that the whole project (all pads, beebalm toy, and bucket) took me three and a half hours. Not bad for something they like!

Your cat bed looks great, and it seems to have the sign of approval.
