Wylla's Winter Wardrobe

Wylla is one of those cats that's always cold. She's a seeker of sun patches, she snuggles under the covers at night, and during the day, if you're sitting still, she'll always nap on top of you. She doesn't have a tremendous amount of body fat, and I'm guessing this is why she's on a constant quest for the warmest spot in the house.

With summer winding down, and the cold, damp days to come, I've been looking for a little sweater or jacket to keep her warm on her outings.

This weekend, I found this cute little vest for our girl. Please don't tell her it was made for dogs.

The hood is detachable, and most likely, that's how she'll wear it. It has a little slot in the back to feed her leash through. She wears an "x-small dog" and it fits her well.

You inspire me to put my knitting needles to work on a project for Miss Wylla. There are some insanely adorable little puppy sweater patterns out there. As it is, to say Wylla looks beyond precious in that wee vest -- she'll be the most stylish kitty in Tacoma this winter!

I just love the way Wylla stares directly into the camera for her pictures. Does she pose or are you very good at capturing her at the right moment? I have to take about 50 shots of my Lily before she looks at the camera and Boo just runs away. Great story pictures!

Watching Wylla blossom has been such a joy. Her coloring reminds me of my beloved and much missed torti-tabby, which makes seeing her thrive even sweeter.

I wonder if Wylla would enjoy a self-heating blanket? It's not that I fear she lacks warm and cozy places to sleep, though. I read about them on Love & Hisses and want to try to make some for my own furballs. One suggestion was to buy a reflective car windshield shade and cut mylar panels from it. As crafty as you are, Laurie, you'd probably make something amazing.

K&H makes wonderful heated pads and beds for kitties - my cats love them, particularly in the winter. They make ones that run on electricity and ones that don't. My favorite is the Thermo-Kitty mat : http://www.khmfg.com/catproducts/thermo-kitty-mat.html
