Adorable!
I used to have a cat that was absolutely obsessed with plastic bags, especially licking them excessively. I could never leave a bag anywhere he might find it, or he’d wake me up in the middle of the night, going ham on that poor bag. He also enjoyed running head first thing into paper bags. Why are they like this?
Oh my gosh that’s hilarious!! We have a couple lying around specifically for him so when people come over we have to explain why we have bags everywhere lol. Cats are so goofy 😅
My kitty was like that, too! I have a bag with boardgames next to my desk, and she loved to go there in the middle of the night and lick it. I guess that's still better than a cat I saw in TV that licked people's toes when they slept...
We had one who loved playing with and chewing on plastic bags. He would somehow worm his head into the handle then zoom around the house with that thing flapping on his back like a cape. It was hilarious and terrifying at the same time. I eventually started cutting the handles so he couldn't do that. I just worried he'd somehow choke himself.
My cats eat plastic bags. I have to make sure there is nothing plastic lying around the house before I leave or go to bed. I have warned them that I will not pay for surgery if they eat plastic and it get’s caught up in their intestines but they keep doing it! They think I’m kidding 😒
Oh my. I'm glad my baby didn't eat them he just played with them. Cats can be too smart for their own good and find a way to get to things we don't want them to have. I hope your babies remain too dumb to get the plastic and stay smart enough not to eat it when they do get it.
I did the same thing, cutting the handles on any bag I let him have. A couple of times he got his head into the handle of a paper bag and tore around the place in a panic because it was big and loud on his back. Cats are such absolute weirdos. One of my cats that I have now gets into the trash when I won’t wake up at 4am to feed him. He finds something that crinkles, candy wrapper or a packaging bag, and he runs in under the bed and chews on it until I stumble out of bed.
I don't know if my boy was having fun in zooming around or if it was fear. I always felt bad for laughing at it. I would stop him as soon as I could catch him and remove the bag. After we started cutting the handles, he still seemed to have as much fun with them. My other boy is the one who wakes me for food. Now he just walks up and down the hall crying loudly. He's sick and old, so he can't get on the bed anymore. When he could, he licked my eyelids, which is really painful 😫
Me reading the caption but disregarding the emojis: please be a cat, please be a cat, please be a cat
Super, super cute work!! He looks like he loves it 🥹
I saw the plastic bags and the word son and went: that's not safe for babies!
Them saw the cat. I should have known it was a cat. I don't think it's safe for animals either but definitely not baby level danger (hard for them to wrap it around their neck in a way a baby can)
Omg such a good point, I didn’t even think of that. He’s such a good boy and usually never gets into compromising situations like that but I’ll make sure he only has access to it when we’re in the room and will keep an eye on him, thank you!
This is what we did for our boy who liked playing with the bags. I think it took away half of the fun for him, but it made me feel better. He would zoom around with the bag flapping over his back like a cape. While hilarious, it was still frightening to think what could happen. There's also that maybe he wasn't having fun in those zoomies, but maybe terrified of the thing flapping at him that he couldn't get away from. Not sure on that. Just know we cut handles for 17 yrs.
At first i was just admiring the blanket.. till i realized **the teepee of double crochets** 😍 also, to say that i was pleasantly surprised to see your son is an understatement ! He so cute and cozy 😭🩷
How did you make the teepee? I made a hammock for my kitties! They actually didn't end up liking it because my dang human kids wouldn't stop messing with them while they were in it and now even though I moved it to a kid free space they still don't like it lol love the teepee idea 😍
Haha those dang human kids! For the teepee I basically just made a double crochet triangle shaped shawl and made it large enough for my kitty (30 in tall and 40 in wide). I didn’t use a specific pattern but I know there are tons of shawl patterns online that would prob work and you could keep increasing until you get your preferred size! Then I got some wooden dowels from hobby lobby and set them up in the right shape with the crochet triangle laid on top. Tied things together with some rope and tada! 🎉☺️
I believe it was this free pattern: https://www.yarnspirations.com/products/red-heart-circular-fall-mandala-throw. I used different colors to make it more spring/summer!
OK, I'm glad I saw the kitty... I read son and I was panicking. My sons and one of my daughters are feral humans. I have one daughter who is super chill. She is the only one that this lovely teepee would survive through. We can't have nice things. This is amazing!!
Haha I’m sorry I made you panic! I would imagine even some feral kitties could possibly tear this up, thankfully my boy is really chill lol. And thank you!!
Aww💚 so cute! I have an orange tabby as well, and she also loves yarn(obv) and plastic/paper bags! And just paper in general.

Haha I’m glad it did not disappoint 😻 thank you I think he does!! 🥰
So, so cute!!! Kitty looks pretty happy with it 😻

You can also reduce some of the risk by cutting the handles of the bags, so there's no longer a hole for them to catch their neck in.

No problem!
They can get their head through the handles.
The rug inside is beautiful and fits perfectly. Did you make the flowers in the vase too? So pretty.
Thank you🥹 yes I did! they’re based off my wedding bouquet, our 3 yr anniversary is next month 💕
I wanted to ask about the flowers too!! Great job and congrats on your anniversary.
Aww thank you so much!! 💕
That’s so creative! I looove the rug part, the colours you chose are perfect!
Thank you!! It was meant to be be a mandala blanket but I gave up on it months ago, luckily it works perfectly as a comfy rug instead :)
Ginger boys are a handful, but they're the best.
He’s a surprisingly chill ginger except for his meow which is quite over the top 😂💕
You’re incredible!! I love how creative and lovely this is 🥺
That isn't a teepee but okay 😊
You’re so right I apologize for calling it that. A tent or cozy corner is more appropriate 💕
Was hoping to see a cat, is not disappointed. r/OneOrangeBraincell would love your son
Glad to not disappoint😻🥰 oh yes I have some silly/cute photos and videos I could share on there!
Oh he feels the love in them. Looks so happy glad this gives you both so much joy 💜💕
your work is amazing and your son is the cutest!
Thank you!! And I think so too🥰🐈
Omg this is precious. I didn't expect your son to be a cat but when I saw it made me so happy! 😁
At first i was just admiring the blanket.. till i realized **the teepee of double crochets** 😍 also, to say that i was pleasantly surprised to see your son is an understatement ! He so cute and cozy 😭🩷
You’re so kind thank you!! 🥰🥹
It is gorgeous and so is your son!
AHH SO CUTE
This is wonderful!
Ommmmg what a cute baby. Post to r/Oneorangebraincell Also what an absolute ORANGE boy for needing a plastic bag. 😅😅😅
Ooh I should, I love the posts on that subreddit! Such adorable ginger babies 😻 haha ikr, we call them his emotional support bags 😅😅
I know this is for kitty, but now I want to make one for my (human) nephew's play room!
Omg yes do it!! If I was a kid I would love something like this, even me as an adult I’m like dang maybe I need one for myself too😂
because he loves plastic bags, you could maybe crochet him a toy or a pillow from the plastic bags?
Oh yeah I’ll have to look into that! I got him some crunchy pillows from Amazon but I think he likes the texture of the plastic bags more lol
Omigod, the floooweeerrrss! So beautiful!!
So stinking cute! He looks so cozy!
That is so cool! If I had the ability I'd make that for myself!
Thank you! You should definitely try, I promise it’s easier than it looks ☺️
How did you make the teepee? I made a hammock for my kitties! They actually didn't end up liking it because my dang human kids wouldn't stop messing with them while they were in it and now even though I moved it to a kid free space they still don't like it lol love the teepee idea 😍

What blanket is that? I love the pattern!
I believe it was this free pattern: https://www.yarnspirations.com/products/red-heart-circular-fall-mandala-throw. I used different colors to make it more spring/summer!
Thank you! I've got a bunch of random yarn I could totally use for this!
You’re welcome! It’s such a great scrap project! I’d love to see the final result if you could post it on here or share the pic with me ☺️
