catbookit_titleI love doing random acts of kindness for people. Little things that put a smile on someone’s face. This includes doing some unexpected things.

Most of my friends and neighbors have pets, including myself. I have three cats so cats have a bit of a soft spot in my heart. This is why I decided to make a cat-friendly BOO Kit.

I actually came upon the idea for the BOO Kit container accidentally. I had purchased a wooden crate for another project. The next thing I knew my cat was laying in the box. It was then that I knew that the crate would be perfect for the BOO Kit.

I began by spray painting the crate orange to look like a pumpkin. Of course a cat can’t sleep in a plain crate (OK, they could, but why should they?). This is why I made a cute no-sew pet pillow to go in the crate.

bookitwithfleeceTo make this pet pillow you will want to cut two pieces of fleece with about four inches of excess on each side. I chose green fleece because it makes it look like the top of the pumpkin. Place the two pieces of fleece so that the back sides are facing each other.

catfoodandtreatsI put some cat-friendly treats including Temptations® classic treats for cats in tasty chicken flavor and savory salmon flavor. In addition, I put three packages of SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS™ in Chicken Paté.
