good luck getting everything made, somehow when there is a deadline the push is greater. btw DH and I have been cracking up over Maru, he is awesome, and very fat.

Oh gosh, that's so pretty done in the vintage print!
Mine is in '70 salmon colour, kind of a linen-y fabric.

WOB, I know how you feel about the interwebs. Sometimes I get overwhelmed as to EVERYTHING that is out there, just at my fingertips.

OMG - I'm in love with Maru - thanks for finding him! He's such a big boy!
That slim box one is hilarious!

Yes, we do boxes of all sizes with our cats, too, and it's always SO funny.
This is Pepsi (we don't have him any more) - it was just funny to see Pepsi in a Coke box.
The cats we have now like the 12 pack boxes because it's just the right size for a little house - yes, even for our big Taffy.

Yes!! Maru is not new, I sent it to my DS, he was like " yeah, seen it, thanks" oh well I can laugh and giggle at Maru's methods of diving into that box, sliding and back legs spreading out flat, gets me every time.
He sure has one very dedicated and loving owner to give his pet that much play time, so nice to see how Maru has benefited from it. I mean how pleased was his face poking through that hole where the owner drew a black helmet over his head?

Oh yes, I remember Pepsi in the Coke box!
I wonder why cats still try to squeeze into the box no matter the size? I was talking for Maru when DH and I were watching and said " does this box make my a** look big?"

Aw well, cheap fun eh?

[Natalka]

Well, those videos sure made the rounds in our house last night. I had watched them again, then in the evening my son did - and he fell in love with that big hunk of a cat, too!

WOB, exactly what you said about how he dives in with those back legs splayed out like that - absolutely hilarious!

I spent an hour with the gals at Fabricland here...we were all running around looking for matching trims, fabrics, etc...they want me to show them the aprons when I've sewn them...I said as long as they don't look too closely at my sewing, I would...my sewing is: Good from far, but far from good! LOLOL!!
I'm going to have a BLAST sewing these!!!! Playtime!
