His vet bills cost more than my car! Oliver's full name is Oliver Twist because as a starving\u00a0kitten he was always asking for more.<\/li>\n<li>Panther is a huge black cat who was abandoned when a lady in the village up the road died &#8211; he was semi-feral and none of the family would take him. He also looked rather nasty as he had a skin condition that made his fur fall out. \u00a0But now he's all better, a big softie and loves his cuddles. You can see him on the mend in this photo with his fur growing back.<\/li>\n<li>Scruffy came to us as a tiny orphaned kitten completely bald and covered in ringworm, and of course I was covered soon too. \u00a0Now he's a round barrel of a cat with very thick fur which earns him the nickname Scruffy Deluxe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14961 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats.jpg\" alt=\"sew for your pets\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/413;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14961 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats.jpg\" alt=\"sew for your pets\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/3-black-cats-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Other cats come and go as they need help, but those 3 are my permanent family. \u00a0But would I dress them up for National Dress Up Your Pet Day &#8211; er, no &#8211; not unless I wanted to be skinned alive.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, they are an important and much loved part of the family and I know lots of people like to sew for their pets, so here are a few examples of pet projects for your sewing to-do list.<\/p>\n<h2>Things to sew for your pets\u00a0&#8211; fun and practical ideas for your furry friends<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='catablog-catalog'><div class=\"catablog-row catablog-gallery\">\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/snip.ly\/E2uk\" class=\"catablog-image\" target='_top' >\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/catablog\/thumbnails\/21 -
