Pets On Quilts Show

Welcome to the Pets on Quilts Show hosted by SewCalGal!  Enjoy my pictures of kitties on quilts and quilts in progress..... and be sure to visit SewCalGal so that you can enjoy all the other entries. This is going to be SO much fun!

I think that you all know Harry, he welcomes you to my blog everyday! I adopted him from the animal shelter where my daughter works, she practically threw him in my arms to take him home!

Wild Harry on Scratch quilt

He can be a little crazy, opening bread packages, raiding the milk bone box, and opening brand new treat packages the minute I bring them home. He likes to chase the other cats and just be a little nutty. And while he doesn't like to be picked up, and I can only pet him on his head (not sure why, the vet isn't sure either) He is a VERY loving cat and loves to be with me as much as possible.


Hunter on Charity quilt

This is my boy Hunter. He was the first cat I adopted after my divorce (my ex was allergic so I never could have one). Adopting this sweet boy got me out of my blues and back on the track of life. He can be a little naughty but there is no way that I would trade him for the world. He loves to "knead" my hair when I am in bed, all the while drooling away with happiness. When I get up and look in the mirror I have this weird "teased" look with cat spit for hair gel. Very attractive!!


And even though these quilts are NOT done, I thought I would share these pictures with you. This is Georgie (he is my profile pic) and Ellie. They are litter mates, adopted from the shelter, rescued from an animal hoarder. They were both extremely sick when I took them in, very skinny, and had digestion issues. (I won't elaborate) It was quite a challenge to get them healthy but now look at how fluffy and sweet they both are! They have got the most beautiful personalities, so laid back and sweet. Unfortunately their hair is so long and so white that is it ALL over my house, clothes, books, furniture.....you name it! But I wouldn't change a thing.

Ellie (look at those eyes!)                    
Thank you for stopping by!
Now you have gotten to know my kitties a little bit better. And you can see why I named my blog the way I did! I may have a lot of cat hair in my house, but I also have a lot of love.

Isn't that the way it is supposed to be??

    I love your kitties on quilts, they are adorable. I can't believe that Harry raids the milk bone box. I thought that my girlfriend's cat Percy was the only, shall I say unusual cat, because he loves milk bones, especially the brown bacon flavoured ones. We call him the cog, half cat, half dog. He also loves people carb food like popcorn, rice, crackers, potatoes and bread.

    Aaahh, what would life be like without a crazy cat or two? In my house it's, Ted. Lovely to meet your furry ones and see your quilts too!

    Looks like you have lots of Quilt Testers at your home.

    Kitties love to test out a quilt......to make sure it is really cozy.....before you give it away!

    Cute babies! I don't know what I'd do without mine... I know what you mean about the cat hair, I never put my vaccum away. I have a coffee mug that says "Everything taste better with cat hair in it." hehehe

    I enjoyed seeing all your kitties and your quilts. They are lucky to have you! :) Puss always opens the new package of cat food if I leave it out. She can't wait to rip into it. Have a great week.

    How clever! Not only did you have quilts on pets, but you also had a quilt (block) on your kitty.

    Your cats and quilts are lovely! I had cats all my life until a few years ago when I started reacting to their hair. Now I have a dog and he wouldn't do well with a cat. I miss having them around.

    Hi Sheila, love your post. I need to be better at checking my gmail...I saw you post about me posting on Sew Cal Gals animal on quilt post - I missed out but enjoying all of the photos now. I love your cats they are sew adorable...what a generous lady you are to take these cats in from the shelter and make them better with LOVE and kindness, that's all cats need well of course the odd treat helps :) Give them a scratch under the chin for me.
