caturday :: sleepy kitty!

Are you ready for an adorable sleepy kitty face?

Ummmmmmmmm he is the cutest.

caturday :: charles’s sign of approval

I know a handmade item will stand up to scrutiny when Charles lays on it.

“If it’s good enough for me to lay on, it’s good enough to stay.”

Thanks, Mayor Charles.

caturday :: composers with cats

My favorite Pinterest board … ever.

Joanna Newsom

Carl Orff

John Cage

Igor Stravinsky

Ralph Vaughan Williams

I wonder what kind of research has been done into composer’s and their pets … so many have cats, probably because they’re independent-yet-social creatures. And super adorable.

caturday :: catccessories

I’m not the biggest cat lady in the world (that may be a lie) but I do love clever cat accessories. The winner right now is this vintage-inspired wall clock:

The eyes move at every tick of the second hand, it has a great retro style, and I love the brassy pine cone accents. And the bow tie. Bow ties are cool!

But in terms of accessories you can make … this hand knit mat has been in my Ravelry queue for quite a bit now:

I have a big skein of burnt orange Cascade Eco + just waiting to be knit up into this. You can queue it up too, here:

And I think because this cat is like a smaller version of Charles I totally envision him wearing something like this!

Can you imagine?! I’d totally put a mohawk on the top. He’s secretly a punk, I’m sure of it. Queue it up here:

Catccessories are the best ‘ccessories.
