Cats new blankets

[Mark]

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

[Topsy Turvey]

I'm gutted.  Couldn't find any yesterday  . 

[Mark]

I bought a couple more this morning as I was passing the market 

[Reynard]

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... 

[Mark]

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

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

[tigerbaby]

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!

[Topsy Turvey]

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

[Mark]

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

[Topsy Turvey]

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? 

[Mark]

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 

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  ) 

[Mark]

She's just a chilled old dear - she rarely leaves her bed 

[Debsymiller (Rufus' mum)]

Aaww what a gorgeous girlie Alice is!!! 

[Mark]

Here she is modelling another of her new blankets. She said they cost a whole £1 each 

[Mark]

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 

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

[Catbird]

Hmmmmm.  Will Dot believe they came from John Lewis tho'?

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 

[Team Svartalfheims]

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

[Dawn F]

didn't know anyone still had blankets??????

[Mark]

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

[Kirst]

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

[Mark]

They had ones with paw prints and I refuse to have anything in the house with paw prints  - 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 


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