sounds like your cats need a sofa throw that is "all mixed up" instead of a solid color. their hair will be more noticeable on a solid...what colors do YOU like? there are many sources on the net for what you are looking for

nice job ladies! love the quilts!
i have a bunch of 30's prints..washtub fabrics are what they are called in one shop.
www.annalena.com has them..most LQS' have them too..along with the solids to match.
the white i have used with these prints.is Kona "Snow" white..i got at Joanns.
i got 25 FQ's for $25 bucks on sale at Anna Lena a few years ago.which started my love for them!
the best and cheapest way would be to do a swap of FQ's!
