I wanted to make Bo a cat bed to replace the old towel he liked to sleep on. Bo had input in the fabric selection. I put down a couple of options and he immediately sat down on the Amy Butler wallflower fabric. Apparently I'm not the only Amy Butler fan in the house. (Actually, I think that one just happened to be in the sunniest spot in the room but I prefer the other conclusion.)
I originally just made the pillow on the inside with no walls. I should have known that he wouldn't like it. I even tried stuffing it with catnip but he still wouldn't sit on it. Peter made the suggestion that I add walls to the pillow. He loves sitting in boxes, even if they're too small for him. So back to the drawing board I went. I had an idea, but I wasn't sure I could make it work.
Luckily it worked. And he likes it. I didn't even have to tempt him with catnip.
It was really simple to put together. This would be great for small dogs too. Anyone care for a tutorial?

I've never seen a cat bed so cute!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive. I love the fabrics together.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! A tutorial would be great, thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf only we had a pet! It is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a tutorial. I have a big cat AND a toy poodle, so this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteMoi! I've got a little stinkball of fur living with us who believes his rightful place is on the couch with us, sandwiched inbetween two sets of legs. This has got to stop! lol
ReplyDeleteI love this. Bo is so cute. I would love a tutorial. I have the perfect fabric for my cat Smokey.
ReplyDeleteMy cat loves boxes too!
Your cat bed is so cute! I love it! And your cat is totally adorable too!
ReplyDeleteYour kitty loving his new designer bed is so dear! Amy would think this is grand—she has 3 cats.
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn how to make this pattern too, thanks!
I would have picked the same fabric if I were a cat too. Very nice! What a sweet cat.
ReplyDeleteVery cute and I'd love a tute! (I'm a poet!)
ReplyDeleteOh, very nice! If I had a cat, I'd make one so fast... heck, I think my 3 year old would love to sit in one of those :D
ReplyDeleteI'd love a tutorial - this came out so cute! Your cat is flippin' adorable as well :)
ReplyDeletethat is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome guy. One of my kitties love boxes too.
ReplyDeleteA tutorial would be appreciated!
Oh! My kitties would love one of these, a tutorial would be great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And yes please we would like to have the turorial for our two cats.
ReplyDeleteA tutorial would be great. Or you could make a pattern/pdf pattern and sell it in your etsy store. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy dog would love a bed like this, but I couldn't bear to use my Amy Butler stash for it, lol!
Very cute...I could see my Figgy or Jo sleeping in that! Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bed.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs have eaten every bed they've had so far, though. They wouldn't get Amy Butler fabric, that's for sure...
Bo is a truly pampered pussy cat with his Amy Butler bed! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy cat read this post and forwarded it to me at work. She loves to get on my laptop when I'm not there. So yes, a tutorial would be a wonderful thing. I can't let poor P-Titters sleep on the floor anymore!
ReplyDeleteThe cat bed is beautiful! If only I had a cat...
