Title: I make cat walking jacket/harnesses velcro style
Post by: mariaharrison on September 05, 2009, 20:31:49 PM: I have just got my first Bengal (Otis) I decided to make a walking jacket for him. The Breeder of spotticatz used to make some and saw what I'd done and thought they were excellent.

I have made a few and they are really good - even if I do say myself. Here is a picture of the jacket:(http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz326/marianewbengalowner/velcrojacket.jpg)

Pleased to have you on board

Cute little jackets although my cats have never worn coats

Post by: mariaharrison on September 05, 2009, 20:42:02 PM: Hi, they are actually for walking your indoor cat. They fit really snug so your cat will not escape from it. The usual harnesses are notorious for being difficult to put on and dont stay that way! ;)

nice Jackets and a great idea :wow:

not sure tho, I'm sure someone in the know will advise you soon enough :evillaugh: :naughty:

Post by: Yvonne on September 05, 2009, 20:46:39 PM: Oh right cute idea for indoor cats to be walked

I think you are allowed to post a link - but be prepared for a slight slap on the wrist

Good luck

Post by: JackSpratt on September 05, 2009, 20:54:03 PM: I've edited the first post, Maria but unfortunately it might get removed - posting topics for financial gain isn't actually allowed on Purrs unless it's for fundraising purposes for a cat charity. ;)

Welcome to Purrs though, and looking forward to pictures of Otis. :)

Post by: Stuart on September 05, 2009, 21:04:52 PM: Hi again Maria, Please don't think this is a personal thing, but Purr's is a Charity Website supporting Cat Rescue's
the Law bit is more to do with the Rules of the Website Provider, If Any website was to advertise product's solely for financial gain
without having the proper license I.E. to sell stuff on line for personal Profit, you need a Business website which cost's a lot more

not sure, but maybe if you were to donate a percentage ?? :sneaky:

Here's the Rules
http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,3024.0.html

Looking forward to seeing Pics of Otis with His Jacket on :)

Post by: mariaharrison on September 05, 2009, 21:09:53 PM: hello, im so sorry for the law breaking thingy - i didnt realise i was doing anything wrong. I made a few and thought someone may find them useful - they do cost me to make and take me a long time too, i priced them to just sell and not to make a profit - if i were to give some to your charity i would need to add to the price as otherwise i would be out of pocket!
sorry
