DIY Progress Report

March 26, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat32 Comments

Can you tell I don't have much hope?

How are you doing with your DIY projects from my Friday giveaway post? I hope you have come up with something because I have Petco Friskies coupons for somebody out there! Meanwhile, let’s see how my human is doing with the kitty playground she is supposed to be putting together.

I see my doubts were justified.

Hmmm. This does not look promising! Perhaps she should try something a little less ambitious. Maybe I will send her over to the Friskies DIY Pinterest board instead. I know there are some easy and fun projects there.

How about you? Do you have a DIY cat toy project you are working on for my giveaway? Details on posting what you have are on the original post. So far, the field is wide open, so make sure you give me something between now and Friday!

    *MY* Human? DIY? Somehow in the midst of of last weekend, she thinks she missed the post. She’ll go back and find it, but I still say the chances of her DIY are zilch.

    Uh oh, we are in trouble! Our mom is not allowed to use tools by purrsons who have seen her trying to use them. We’ll have to see what others can make and then try to trade her for someone more talented and mechanically oriented.

    We have a DIY cat toy to show, but don’t know how to. So, “how to?”

    I thought the deadline passed. TW cut holes in a paper bag for me to poke my paw out but I decided to sit on the bag instead. MOL! She’s try again I guess.

    We have boxes here but Mommy hasn’t had time to do anything with them for the DIY project. We really don’t like her job much anymore. 🙁

    I get toilet paper rolls when they are empty…does that count as DIY toys??? At least I don’t have to wait on anyone to finish makin’ ’em…just an observation…

    Well Sparkle, our human visited Pinterest as we had an empty Temptations bag. However, when she saw how many steps were involved in putting the toy together, she punted. She said she rather get out an old toy and play with us. Thanks Mom. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

    Our person does all sorts of cat DIYs. Most of them we like, and we have to admit she’s good at them. Here’s some for you:

    Sparkle, maybe your human needs to start a little smaller 🙂 We had our mom make us the knotty spider and the irresistaball. The ball is our fav even tho our mom doesn’t put treats inside. We’ll have to work on getting a picture now 🙂

    The only thing happening around here is the publicist put Sherpa in an orange box and called it a “box of orange.” She thinks she is so funny. Sherpa did have fun, though.

    Sparkle…does a past home made toy qualify?
    If so, we’ll submit our picture. Mom made me a condo out of a cardboard box last year.

    We gotta get the mom moving on this…but with her skills, or lack thereof, this might be an epic fail.

    Oh Sparkle, this was a great idea. But our Mom is too busy right now too. Maybe you can do it again sometime and give us a little more notice. I will start saving boxes or something. I wish we did have time, it looks like fun.
    Take care.

    Our Mum is not a D.I.Y. person – well she does do D.I.Y. if she has to but making toys doesn’t come under that category here.
