Do not disturb

Every birthday my mum-in-law sends me my favourite chocs from Hotel Chocolate in the UK. This year was a 'really cool' surprise with a new product called cocktail sleeksters. You just pop them in the fridge for at least an hour and choose from Martini, mojito, cosmopolitan etc. and no one need know. So my 'do not disturb' is going up and I will be back Monday.

Do not disturb

Sleep tight

There seems to be an endless supply of pet beds to feature on 'under the blanket' and each time I find new ones I love them more than the last. Here are a few cat beds that have been featured on Modern cat . The first is from rededition and is actually a storage box, but would serve great as a pet bed, I would love to have the house that would go with these. Hey, they even come in different sizes to suit different size cats.

These beds are from furhaven and are like the best winter boots - very snuggly!

Cat livin has a beautiful selection patterned pet pillows that make for great lazing

I've noticed that there has been a bit of a trend for the use of recycled materials in pet beds and these cardboard ones can be used as scratch pads. How good is that, no more covering up the sides of the couch. They are designed by Elizabeth Paige Smith, take a look on Kittypod The rectangular ones are from everydaystudio

These guys are just too happy in their wall beds from akemi tanaka

Just be ready for any bed that you buy to be completely ignored with contempt by your cat. If you have a cat you'll totally get that comment. :-)

Here's a follow up to my post a couple of weeks ago showing some fabulous pictures of dressed up weimaraners. This selection is from william wegman. I can't get over how much these dogs look like they're following some concise art direction for their poses. Do they know they're geogeous? It certainly looks like it.
