a long time ago i made some for our first two cats. one was from a blanket that i cut a foot off because we had a waterbed and it was too wide. i embroidered her name on it. the other one was a flannel pieced quilt with his name on it. When they had to be put down, we wrapped them up in their blankets and buried it with them. the 3 cats that i have now haven't gotten blankets-they pretty much just use mine.lol
