The Kitty Sling[tm]

Biscuit wanted to snuggle with me while I was at the computer, and since the sitting surface was sloped, she always wound up sitting on the keyboard. I rigged up a kitty sling out of a wide fleece scarf so that she can stay on my chest.


I took this with the timer on my digital camera, which was sitting on Biscuit's cat condo. Biscuit likes to give me kisses (or maybe she thinks she's perpetually cleaning a dirty dirty kitten face).




The OH took these.

What the heck is up with my hair anyway? It's not usually wedge-shaped.

Cool idea :-)

Nice kitty!

Awwww, that's just too cute! (And Mark agrees)

Wonderful photos! The kitty sling is such a great idea.

Biscuit has very unusual and pretty markings!

Hee! I love the second-last one -- the look on the kitty's face is darling. That's such a cute idea!

Like the Kitty-Sling(tm)...and love the pictures.

A pair of cute cats, there. ;)

Here's hoping all goes well for you; rapid recovery to you.
*hugs*

What a great idea. And you're both cute.

Hee! Lookit!

Also: yes, I hope all goes well. The date has snuck up on me! But not on you, my guess is.

You're practicing "attachment kitty-parenting" and "wearing the kitty," according to modern parenting theory. ;)

I need a dual-kitty version :):).

Very nice!

You and Kitty are both cute. :)

I briefly pondered trying to rig up something like this for my idiot dogs. But maybe not.

A friend of mine has a little dog who got hit by a car a few months ago and broke her leg. She had that dog in a little doggy sling for months! Only way to keep that squirmy little thing from re-injuring herself. Try it!

It really wouldn't work for my dogs. They are each over 80 lbs. They'd love to be carried in a sling, but my back wouldn't approve.

I may have to try making a kitty sling... thanks for the idea!

Awwww. So cute!

[identity profile] cjsmith.livejournal.com 2003-10-11 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
I love the last one - you both look so content!

I hope things go (are going? went?) well today.

I am forced to think of Biscuit as "Bickie" in my head when she is being SO CUTE.

The sling idea is great, but I would end up with all three of them in there and probably not happy to share. My spine would snap if they didn't take out some neck arteries first.

Awwwww, kawaiiiiiii!!!

[identity profile] kightp.livejournal.com 2003-10-11 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
I especially like the next-to-last one, where Biscuit seems to be looking at the camera with a "Yes? You wanted something?" attitude.

I'd better not let Bookie see these or she'll want a sling of her own ...

awwww!

aww, you guys are so sweet together! and the kitty sling is a great idea! i should try that out on shadow, though she actually has enough room between the laptop and the keyboard -- except that she often immobilizes my left arm/hand, *heh*. i should rig up the camera too; i've been wanting to show the paramour her cuteness, *grin*.

That is so cute!! Prrrrrrt.

Biscuit likes to give me kisses (or maybe she thinks she's perpetually cleaning a dirty dirty kitten face).

pirate is a licky puppy. she gives kisses and licks our faces. my theory is that we need to smell more like the pack.

That's so cute! I've seen a person I know carry her dachshund around in a sling, but I don't think I'd seen anyone do it with a cat before this.
