Pink Hat.....?

Hello, I'm Amanda.
I'm a cat.
My favorite thing is milk and play, play very hard!!

munch munch munch...... my paw... tasty...?

Oh, I think I like my mom too.
She is always busy making cute things for me and everyone, and seems like she enjoys dressing me up with what she made.
I feel like I'm a c celebrity!!!

She made this pink thing the other day.
I think it's a hat, but my mom was putting something inside of this pink thing...
Maybe she is hiding some temptations.......???

I need to figure out how to open this pink thing.

Have a lovely weekend, my fans :)

Cats on Tuseday - Welcome New Kitty?!?!?!

Huh........?????
Who is that Amanda-like brown tabby behind Amanda the kitty????????????
It almost does look like Amanda...
Colors and marking are just like the same with green eyes...
Huh....?


This is actually a pillow that I made a little while ago.
I went to the fabric store the other day(as usual....), and I was so excited to find this cute fabric!
I really think this brown tabby on this fabric just has striking resemblance with Amanda!
It's like an "easy pillow making kits".
You would get a cat printed pattern on the fabric, and all you need to do to make a pillow is,
very easy!, cut the cat patterns from the fabric, then sew the pieces together, and plump with stuffing.

Its easy as 123!
A simple as Do Re Mi!

Tada!!
Here I've got a kitty pillow!

Alike as two peas in a pod??!!

I kind get little confused with this pillow as Amanda :)

Thanks for visiting us!!
Happy Cats on Tuesday!

Happy Easter!

I woke up this morning and found out that Amanda's ears are way too long as a kitty....

I thought my Amanda is a furry brown classic tabby cat.... until today....
She is ACTUALLY a "pink bunny"!!!

I'm a bunny!!!!

Have a wonderful Easter!!

Felting with Amanda's fur

I guess Spring is the most season for cats to shed their fur......just like us taking off toasty furry winter coats to light spring cardigans....

While I was visiting Japan, I found a very cute book about making felt from cat's hair!
I usually just toss her hair after combing Amanda.
What a neat idea!!
Unfortunately, the book I bought was only avairable in Japanese, but I found a very useful information from getcrafty.com.

I was collecting Amanda's fur for past few days, and now finally I had enough fur to make a miniature Amanda mascot!

Tada!!

A mascot from Amanda's fur.
Amanda is "Classic Brown Tabby" as you can see from a picture below, and her coat is mostly black...
I thought it's quite interesting that her hair after combing almost looks like gray color.

who are you??

punch! punch!
The essential ingredients is kitties who can provide you fur to make kitty felt.
I think it's truly a special benefit for only kitty owners to enjoy making a miniature cat mascot from our kitty!

sniff sniff.......smells like.... me....????

Oh... by the way, Amanda seems very curious about mini-Amanda mascot.
She was sniffing a lot first, then punched it!
Mini-Amanda is now on the book shelf where is safer from big-Amanda's attack!

Have a lovely weekend :)

Cats on Tuesday - A Clever kitty??

Or is she a bad girl???

NO!! I'm a good kitty!!

Amanda learned how to open the kitchen cabinet door while I was visiting to Japan.
I wonder who taught her that???!??!?!!!?
She only enjoys trying to open this one specific cabinet.... nothing yummy is inside... just human food(rice and flour!) and cooking bowls....
Although nothing hazard or toxic things are in this cabinet, I tried to secure the door with Velcro tape...
Didn't work!!!
I wonder I should get something like Child proof door locks??




By the way, this is my first movie on Youtube!

4. Pass this along to 5 other blogs

This photo was taken last year, around the same time of last year.
We just adopted Amanda from Humane Society few weeks before this photo was taken, but she was already making herself at home.
Amanda found a little cozy spot to enjoy sunbathing :)
She still loves this special spot to enjoy the sun beam and take a nap.
I always get tempted to take a nap right next her..... she just looks so cozy and peaceful.....


I would like to pass this along to:

1. Boo-Bahs Little Sunshines
2. Brian's Home
3. Raymond and Busby: Cats by the Sea

Lacy Collar with Handmade Beads Charm

Another project I was working on last week was.... beading!
I made those colorful beads charms for Amanda's new lacy collar, and they're just like sliplock belt buckles so that I can adjust the sizes of the collars.
I know they aren't perfect looking.... but I like the colors and a shiny charm sparkling on Amanda's furry neck :)

the size is about 3/4" wide.....

Amanda now has so many cute collars that she can chose from every morning.....
Lucky kitty, Panda!
I feel like Amanda has more clothes than I have now!!!

I am a fashion leader!!

Have a lovely meowy weekend :)
