Some of the crafts in here made me giggle! I just can't see my cats "enjoying" these creations as much as the model cats did. Like the frilly neck wear - that would be a no go in this house. But the cat couch, now that could be a winner. Especially if I used the gaudy tiger fabric as in the example!

There are crafts for cats and crafts for cat lovers. A nice range of projects with unique ideas that I have not seen before in other cat craft books. Read it for fun or cause you're a serious cat crafter. Either way you'll enjoy this book.
