Mariko Ishikawa is the author of several craft books in Japan. Her seven cats helped to inspire this book.
Dog owners tend to be spoilt for choice when selecting toys and
other items in stores, but cats are often left out. Redress
the balance with this book of over thirty projects to make for (and
featuring) your cat. I wish I had had a book like this when I had a
cat! I love the way in most cases the materials used are
things that often get thrown away, or are at least inexpensive and
easy to obtain. Transform a cardboard box into a cat house,
find a use for the odd socks and gloves your dryer does not eat and
even press into use plastic bags, tinfoil and old T-shirts.
You can also dress your cat up with garments and hats, make a box
for tidying away toys or food, a variety of toys and several beds.
Many of the items are very quick and simple to make but
others require a few more tools and a bit of previous knowledge,
for example the woodworking ones. Make your own foldaway cat
gym that doubles as storage for toys, a cozy bed or raised
container for food and drink bowls. Each project has a
handsome full page photo of the finished item being enjoyed by two
of the author’s beautiful cats as well as clear steps illustrated
with drawn colored diagrams. These are easy to follow and
make even the woodwork sound pretty simple and a mere step up from
assembling flat pack furniture. As well as items for the cat
there are cat-themed projects such as how to turn a notebook into a
scrapbook, transform a plain T-Shirt with photos of your cat and
iron-on transfer paper or create a placemat, tissue box cover or
stationery with a moggy theme. This is an attractive and very
user-friendly book that shows how much fun you (and your cat) can
with not very much.
