Pets on Quilts Show 2014!



Hello and welcome! It's that time of year again. Time for the Pets on Quilts show hosted at Lily Pad Quilting.  You can see my entry from last year here.


Of course this year I have more of the obligatory Wilson-cat on quilts pictures.  As you may already know, Wilson is my very allergic cat and chief quilting inspector.


His chronic lung issues finally caught up with him back in February and landed him in the kitty ICU. Scared me to death!  Basically he now has full blown kitty-COPD.  He has stayed on a low dose daily steroid ever since then and it has made a huge difference in his breathing and quality of life.


Just for fun this year I am including pictures of some of our other house animals. Ferrets! They aren't exactly on quilts, but I did make all their bedding!


Their names are Sister and Bear, (sister is on the bottom in the picture above.)  They are champion sleepers, but when they are awake they go 90mph until they sleep again!

I am entering Wilson in the "Cats or Kittens on Quilts" category. The ferrets are just a bonus!  Be sure to check out all the entries and the cute animals at Lily Pad Quilts and a bonus Wilson post from later today here.

  3. Wilson is SO adorable curled up on the quilt :) Good to hear you have found a solution that works! Just hate to see any animal suffer. I did not know animals could get COPD!

  22. So happy to hear that your cat is having a better quality of life. My 6 year old cat was diagnosed with Asthma, and after battling with her to take oral meds (including steroids), I researched other treatment and found that cats respond very well to inhaled steroid. She is back to her normal happy self, and I am thrilled that she is no longer coughing and wheezing. Back to your post!!!.... I love the photos of your ferrets! They really are so cute!
