How many of you have an animal familiar/ pet cat that sleeps on your table and gets his/ her fur all over your table? Want an affordable, easy-to-do solution to the problem? If so, read on.

I decided to do something about it. I created my own cat bed for my cat Lady Shadow. I went to the nearby fabric store and bought a yard of pink printed fleece. Sewing your own cat bed costs pennies and is a much cheaper alternative to buying one. The fabric cost me $3 and I bought stuffing. I cut a semi-circle out of the material. I sewed three sides shut and left a hole for the stuffing. I pressed the seam allowance and put the stuffing in the cushion. I sealed the cushion shut.

I love the material because it is fleece, which appeals to cats, is pink and printed with the word meow, and is decorated with polka dot cats and striped cats, and hearts. Purrfect!! I put the cushion on my altar and programmed the cushion and said a small chant, and hugged it for love. I made a catnip infusion and sprayed the catnip infusion on the cushion. I left it on the table for Shadow to find in her own time.

Soon, Shadow found the cushion on the table. I don’t know if it will always keep her off my table. I should have nipped that bad habit in the bud a long time ago. Before long, she napped on the cushion, and left her scent on it, which means that there is a strong chance she will nap there again- and not on my table.
