Cat-themed blocks for Sasha

Well, other than regular pieced block patterns that look like a cat or the foundation pieced cat face pattern I use for my HUG blocks, all I can offer is some of my cat fabrics. I would be MORE than happy to share them with you, especially since it is for Sasha's b'day quilt AND she's Siamese and deserves ONLY the very best :-)!

Not exactly traditional but cute:

What a treat to see Sasha on her 13th bd. Hope she is feeling well. Taria

Ummmm....

Cat and Mouse (just ran across it looking for another block) Cats Cradle Claws

Ermmmm...

How about something that would appeal to cats?

Swallows in the Window Ducks and Ducklings Spinning Tops Flying Bats

Tried to find an old block that Aunt Irene was fond of called Miss Mousie, could be that one of the other Aunts made it up for her because I could find no trace of it. But I did find this while I was looking:

On the bottom half of the page is a version where the bat is morphed into a mouse. The cat stays the same, but he is cute instead of Halloweeny on the mouse half of the page.

NightMist If there was a block called laser pointer it would be perfect

Jo, Email me with your addy. I have some 6 1/2" blocks and some are of a Simease kittty. One of my hobbies is collecting and buying cat fabrics. I then cut them in 6 1/2" blocks, I'd like to send you some... Pami

Sasha likes to be involved in all phases of quilt construction. I have a picture of her at the sewing machine, and it really does look like she's sewing. It's been a while since I made a quilt with a batt (been busy with denim/flannel quilts for a while) but I do believe she enjoyed sitting on that, yes. We'll see what she does when I get the batting out for these baby quilts I'm nearly ready to layer. You can tell she's feeling better, because she's not only been following me around all the time, she's been complaining about various things. Siamese have opinions and are not afraid to share!

A search on Quilter's Cache

turned up these:

Cat and Mice

Cat's Cradle Cats in the Corners (different from Puss in the Corner) Two variations on Puss in the Corner Tesselcats (this one is cute) Wild Cat How is Sasha feeling? Has she recovered enough to enjoy her birthday properly?

There are a few cat blocks in the Quilter's Cache.

Sasha looks very pleased with her tuna cake! :)

Birds in the Air? Flying Geese? Dog cabin??

I hope all of Sasha's birthday wishes come true! (Lots of canned Tuna, and any soft fabric to rest on)

She was very down in May and early June - just wanted to lie down and wasn't really eating. She became really skinny - probably the

4.5kg the vet has always wished she could be... but when I saw her hip bones for the first time and her haggered look I wasn't too happy. Then in mid-June she seemed to turn a corner. She seemed to accept the medicine routine for what it is - an unpleasantness twice a day that lasts about 5 minutes each time. She went back to eating her kibbles as well, which she had gone off, and usually accepts the fish treat/apology after each medicine session. So she was in good spirits and back over 5kg for her birthday. She might be a little fat according to the charts, but she's not bony, and she's happy. So I'm happy too.

not bony sounds healthy to me - like with people some desirable weights just don't look good on a cat. bust though is a happy healthy can no matter what the weight!
