Title: Cats new blankets
Post by: Mark on August 31, 2008, 14:32:12 PM
They had ones with paw prints and I refuse to have anything in the house with paw prints  :evillaugh: - so I had the choice of pink or blue baby fleeces. I also hate pink - so here we are. Willow prefers to sleep under hers  :evillaugh:


PS - Do people really put £1 polyester fleeces on babies?  :Crazy:

Well Alice seems to approve!! I guess for babies if its cosy and safe , then why spend lots? ;)

hey are quite soft but I doubt they have anything like the warmth of proper baby blankets?

Awww looks like they are enjoying their new blankets Mark. Where did you get them from?

Down the local market. They have blue with teddies, pink with teddies or boring pawprint. £1 each  :) - I'm sure most markets will have them as they all sell the same stuff.

They are perfect for putting in beds. If they are relly hairy, I bin them, otherwise wash. Funnily enough, the hair doesn't stick to them much - unlike the jumpers I sacrificed previously  :evillaugh:

I bought some more of these today. I am going to give a couple to Rolvenden rescue when we go. They are so handy to put in cat beds to keep them clean + they are really soft  :) - cats love them  :Luv2:

Great for when Alive leaves a skid - I can do a quick change  :evillaugh:

I realised how good these are this morning. When I  came down this morning, Alice was on the sofa bench instead of her bed, then she went and sat on a lap pad on the window ledge. I said to OH it was really odd. I went to have a look and she had been sick in her bed. I swiped the blanket off and put a fresh one one and it was good to go  :)
It took her a while to realise there was a clean blanket - she even told me off for putting her in the bed  :Luv2:

She has a blue one with crowns on that says "Princess" al over it  :-[ - I thought all the blue ones were teddies  :-[

Now she has discoveed the window seat, she is quite happy there (even though she looks grumpy  :evillaugh: )  :Luv2:

Can you get the princess one in pink or any other colour Mark?  I like that one and the one with flowers on - can I place an order with you please?  :naughty:

I don't know what they have as I just bought a few. I assumed all the blue were the same. I would happily get them but wouldn't the postage be high?

I have seen them in a Canterbury and Whitstable markets so sure a lot of market stalls must sell them?

Whitstable Market is on Thursday morning only.

They do have pink ones so I will check

I'll have a look in our local market.  The Princess (but in pink) would be perfect for my Summer x

I don't buy already made blankets, I just go to a local sewing/material shop and buy a large piece of something nice - got all kinds at home - leopard, pink with pawprints, black with rainbow coloured pawprints, zebra stripes... you can cut to desired size too and it will cost you a fraction of the price!

The ones I get are only £1 and they are hemmed  :)

I can't even thread a needle so it works for me  :evillaugh:

Mark, I buy similar blankies for my two - have them dotted about on bed, chairs, baskets etc, plus a large one in Madam's carrier and a plain blue one with her blue set of show drapes.

I also get them for our branch of CP whenever I'm in London - they're great for the fosters and we also sell a lot of them on the stall. As a matter of fact, I picked up another 10 today...  :)

PM me your address and I will stick the pink princess blanket in the post  ;D. I will refold it to fit in a C4 envelope as the post office is a pain.
