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.
Best of luck!!!
ReplyDeleteNice to read that Wilson is managing much better and is strutting the quilt catwalk on your fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt and wonderful photos. I for one appreciate the bonus shots of the Ferrets. Glad to here that Wilson's allergies are doing so well.
ReplyDeleteWilson 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!
ReplyDeleteSweet Wilson! Thank you for taking such good care of him. Hope he stays healthy and happy, keeping those quilts warm :-)
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than a cat with allergies, but happy to hear there is a solution.
ReplyDeletePoor Wilson, I'm glad to hear that there is medicine to help him. Love the bonus, ferrets are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteAllergies are not fun. Glad he's doing better. Beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteAwww.. Poor Wilson! My kitty Jewel has also been sick. We're off to a specialist vet on Tuesday for more tests. She doesn't need kitty ICU yet, thankfully! I'm glad Wilson is doing better!
ReplyDeleteOh, they are all adorable!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet photos of your babies! Wilson looks so sweet on your beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteSweet kitty and cute ferrets. Although I don't know why people keep ferrets as pets. But then I don't know anything about them...
ReplyDeleteaw Wilson is a sweetie. and the ferrets are cute too
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Wilson! Glad to hear that medication is improving his quality of life and he can carry on his inspection duties :)
ReplyDeleteWilson is very sweet. I'm glad the medicine is helping. The ferrets are adorable. I am afraid Smitty might have a field day with them here.
ReplyDeleteWilson is gorgeous! Can't imagine our JRT living with ferrets, but they look really fun!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got Wilson sorted out...beautiful animal. The ferrets are very cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, happy kitty! It looks like he's smiling in the first picture. My daughter loooooves ferrets so she wanted to weigh in on their cuteness too!
ReplyDeleteWilson is adorable, I hope he gets to feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope Wilson feels better and continues to do his job of testing your quilts. Your ferrets and their bedding look great. Its like a mini quilt with ferrets, right? They are all adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh Wilson is adorable....so glad he'll be feeling better. I also love the fabrics you used in that stripped quilt!!
ReplyDeleteGlad Wilson is doing good now. That middle picture of him is darling.
ReplyDeleteso cute... glad he is feeling much better..
ReplyDeleteSo 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!
ReplyDeleteSo glad Wilson feels better. He looks so cute on his quilt. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Susie x
ReplyDeleteWilson, Sister and Bear are very cute.
ReplyDeleteI am a cat lover, but have to say Sister and Bear are adorable
