Default Need recommendations

We have just adopted a male white cat with grey tabby spots. His name is Bug. I have been looking for fabric to make a couple beds for him but not having good luck finding what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find cutesy cat fabric but everything is pink. Not that he would care but I'd like to have more masculine cat fabric. Yes I'm weird. I'm also looking for cutesy bug fabric. All I can find is lady bugs.

Can anyone recommend a store or website that carries what I'm looking for. I'm open to anything from charms, fat quarters or bolt fabric. Thank you so much for reading. The nearest stores (Joann's, hobby lobby or LQS) are at least 1 hour away so trying to save myself gas money and time to possibly not be able to find what I want.

Thank you!!

Try www.fabric.com and search for ' cat'. They had lots including some cute Suess Cat In The Hat fabrics. Several we're fleece though, so filter for fabric type if you do t want fleece. Lucky cat!!

For cat fabric

http://www.felinedrive.com/servlet/StoreFront

Just be aware that the prices posted are for 1/4 yard units so don't think you are getting fabric at $2.5 per yard. Most of her fabrics are in the $10 per yard price range. but you order in 1/4 yard increments so that is why it is set up that way.

And all orders are to help support the feral cat colony she takes care of.

Someone told me about a site called Fabricshops.com that is terrific. There are about 225 shops in one site.

There are multiple sites that appear if you put cat fabric in the search engine. Here are a couple that I found that specialize in cat/dog fabric: http://www.meowscape.com/fabricshoppe.html, http://www.pettents.org/cart/ (business name is catfabrics.org), http://www.quiltedcatfabric.com/

That is what I was thinking. I have never ordered from them but they have been around for quite a long time. My favorite online store is the Fabric Shack. Check them out.
