Something for Gemma

I've finally finished stitching a couple of cat mats for Gemma.  As you know, she comes traveling in the caravan with us, and she uses a litter box for toileting.  The box is kept in our shower cubicle and I had a piece of matting underneath to stop it slipping and scratching the lino while we travel.  Not good enough, I reckoned, so thought what I could do to make something that looked nicer.  Quilters always have heaps of fabric tucked away and I had several cat fat quarters, just the thing.  I decided to back the mats with toweling.  Oh dear, what a mess that made, little bits of cut  towel fluff went everywhere! But here they are, finished at last, just in time for our next trip away.

So what dos Gemma think of this?  Not much it seems, she doesn't seem to have particular views on caravan décor.  As long as she is well fed and comfy, she is happy.

Love those mats. I have a black rubber mat under our kitty litter box for when our grandcat comes for a visit.

God bless.

that is a good idea - I remember years ago when we had a cat that no matter how neat a cat is there is still some litter that gets outside of the box - this way you can shake the mat out too and it won't be on the shower floor
