He/She Bosom Buddy Valentine for Lonely Cats

He/She Bosom Buddy Valentine for Lonely Cats
Face it...sleeptime is better with a buddy.   If you are like my cat (who is planning on being alone this Valentine's Day) treat yourself/it to a reversible he/she bosom buddy for those nights no one is around.

I'm not talking about the squeaky inflatable kind that leaks under pressure, but rather one you can create to satisfy any feline gender and ensure a good night sleep!

YESH!!!  LET'S GET STARTED...

Step 1Gather Materials

Gather Materials
*Long sleeve T-shirt
*Rectangular Shaped Pillow - either regular bed size or body size
*Round Shaped Pillow
*Quilt Batting - apx 36" x 4'
*pair of knee high - in your favorite skin color
*12" of cord
*Metal coat hanger - straightened out and bent on the ends to approximate the length of your arm 

Flatten out the quilt batting and angle the coat hanger at the bottom corner.  Roll loosely until the ends of the coat hanger are covered by the batting.  Bring the edges of the batting to the center and continue rolling - tighter at the bottom and looser/fuller at the top.

Consider basting (optional) to keep from unrolling.  You have now created the "arm".

 I have a cat in desperate need of this. He can't sleep with me at night anymore because he keeps me up the entire time. :P
