2020 Cat Lovers Hop.

Morning All,
Welcome to my wee bit of Blogland, I hope you enjoy your visit xx 
Im here today to join in with the #2020CatLoversHop. Now this is my first time joining but I read that its been going on for a good few years!! How did I miss that!!! 

My boys tell me that I will be the Crazy Old Cat Lady in the Street in a few years!!!

Here is my first make for the hop, how cute is this wee ginger guy and his wool. 

Felix my kitty who sadly was knocked down by a car in February loved to play with wool, he was such a fun wee guy. Wee Harry my rescue boy who lives with us now isn't so keen. He likes flowers and plants more!!! 

Harry moved in with us as lockdown started. He had quite a hard life before coming here so its taken till the last month for him to settle. He is really much happier now and coming out of his shell. Hes my first tabby kitty, I have always had black and white ones before. We have no idea how old he is but going by how much hes grown over the last few months he wasn't much more that a kitten when he arrived.

Gorgeous card and image - ideal for us cat addicts. Sorry to hear about felix, glad Harry is finally settling, my 4 are all rescues so all have 'issues' of one kind or another. We took on a 19yr old beginning of this year and he is doing marvellously. Hugs Emmax

Oh wow, this is a stunning card! I love it. And Harry is a lovely cat!! He looks like one we had...

mandysea said...

Oh be still my heart! I know exactly how you feel and I'm so sorry about Felix, they never leave us. Harry will be an extraordinary cat as time goes on. My Blackie was an ex-feral and I will never have another kitty like him, he was more like a dog - a one person cat though. He lived till he was 18 and it still breaks my heart thinking of the day I had to make that awful decision. But still, with this, room is make for another kitty that needs love. Your card is gorgeous. Yes... absulotely purrrfect! Happy Hopping with Cat Lovers!

Carole J said...

Love your amazing card! It's gorgeous. So sorry to hear about Felix, but is sounds like Harry has found his way into a very loving home. All of our former cats were black and all of them were rescues as well. They were so loving and we still miss them.

Hi, Hazel!.....I am soooooooo glad you found our Cat Lovers Hop! Love hearing everyone's cat tales. So very sorry abt your dear Felix. That is so tragic. Sending hugs to you. Your boy Harry is certainly a handsome chappie! My first cat when I was a little girl was a tabby and I have loved striped cats ever since. Bless you for rescuing him. <3

I love the CB set you used for your fun card. The kitty looks absolutely purr-fect as a Ginger. Such wonderful coloring and shadowing. Thanks so much for joining in our #2020CatLoversHop!!
