My sisters and I had a get together in Nashville last week, and I realized I was the only one who didnt have a cat. Ive had cats in the past, but right now, we seem to have just about everything but a cat. Its been a delight browsing through these clever cat projects. Ive worked up a few, and sent links to others, and even found a few Ive not seen before. Thanks for finding all these!
