At the end of July 2019, I was at the Pennsic war for 2 weeks on vacation. I had a cat sitter coming in twice a day to feed cats and especially give attention to Ethel, who was old and isolated in her own room. I got a call that she was very sick. After 5 painful days, I had to have her put to sleep. Although, I didn’t miss her peeing on everything, I did miss her very demanding affection. I missed it terribly. I still miss it today. So I wanted to do something. Last fall, I found some really great kitty fabric and made myself the Ethel memorial bathrobe.
The style is kind of like a Japanese yukata. I cheated and have belt loops for the tie at the waist.
