Kitty in a Basket

I recently discovered the BEST cat beds EVER!

My mum and I went to a local cat show, to ogle the various breeds. Cats you don't see everyday, such as Ocicats, Bengals, Sphynx, Abyssinian, Devon Rex, Cornish Rex, Maine Coons, Birman, etc. I even got to hold an Ocicat! AFTER I throughly applied antibacterial gel to my hands.

We had a great time walking up and down the aisles of cats, talking with people there to feature their felines, very occasionally having the opportunity to hold or pet one of the gorgeous beasts. I started noticing that many of the enclosures contained at least one woven-cloth basket-style cat bed - each containing a comfortable and contented cat.

There were many vendors there at the show, as well, including Patt from Patts Cat Beds, the maker of these basket beds. I couldn't resist and I brought one home to my own spoiled domestic shorthair - Noni. She loved it! It's been at least 2 months now, but I'm still getting a kick out of seeing her curled up in her basket. I often bring in fresh catnip from the kitchen garden and rub a leaf around the inside of Noni's basket. ENDLESS fun.

Highly recommend these beds to any cat owner. Cats like them snug, so keep that in mind if you order. The baskets also can be made dog-sized! Check it out!
