I know just the Kitty Mama who would love a pair of these for her furry darlings. Like the doggy version, these are easy to work up. I love the fish appliquI have a few other places Id like to use that, too. Im thinking of adding chain stitch bones to the fish appliqu. Now I just need to ask my friend what her kitties favorite colors are.
