Kitty cat bed

Eeek! I just realised I had not added my cat bed to this here blog when I should have, so here it is even though I finished it a while ago. Such is the life of a busy knitter... but by now, the cat is sooooo over the bed. He slept in it a couple of times, but then Bad Kitty (TM) from down the street broke into our house and attacked my kitty while he was sleeping in it! Now he is traumatised and I don't think he'll ever sleep in it again. We have installed an Anti-Bad-Kitty Device (aka magnetic cat flap), but I think my cat is still a bit freaked out by the whole experience. I was pretty freaked out, too - the attack happened in our bedroom at 4am, with fur flying everywhere and bloody claws scratching away. What an awakening! I have washed all signs of Bad Kitty away, but still the bed goes empty. Either Dierdre hates it or he's just being a cat and picking other places to sleep. Here's a rare moment of him actually in the bed. My brief moment of joy. You can't force cats to like something, but at least people will wear something you made just to make you feel better :-)
