I
recently got back from a trip to Paris and while visiting my incredibly
chic friend Alexia I spotted a cool tent from The Conran Shop for her
three year old in her living room. Her son loved spending time in it.
Hiding out or chilling’ out."
"Fast forward to a cold night back in Halifax. I had about three meters of my new Cat Eyes
print on crisp white cotton sitting on my work table doing nothing. And
I realized I knew someone else that loved hiding out and chilling’ out;
my cat Birdie."

"Birdie is definitely ‘a caver’
meaning she likes to be under things and in small spaces. With nothing
better to do I drew up a pattern for a tiny tent, cut, sewed, ironed,
sawed, drilled and sanded. And voila! The Cat tent. You can keep it
indoors for a place for your cat to chill or send it outside in the
summer to give your cat a place to escape the sun on your patio or
lawn."
