I have a confession to make. I’m not a cat person. But when my sister announced she was the proud new owner of a cat and introduced us to her little fur ball, oh mon dieu, I was smitten.

Taken herself by this furry feline, my sister wasn’t exactly prepared for her new four-pawed roommate. She was missing all sorts of important kitty cat things, like you know, a litter box.

So, for anyone bringing home a pet friend, help ease the transition with a “welcome home” gift basket of practical four-pawed items like LitterMaid® Premium Walnut, cans of food, toys …and an super easy DIY cat bow tie because one is never too young (or furry) for high style!

Make a Cat Gift Basket with DIY Pet Bow Tie

Walk the aisles of pet supplies and the items are endless for putting together a “welcome home” gift basket for a furry feline. And with a few scraps of fabric, you can add a DIY cat bow tie for a fun gift for any new pet owner.

What to put in a “Welcome Home” cat gift basket:
– Litter box
– LitterMaid® Premium Walnut
– Cat nip
– No scratch spray
– Cans of food and treats
– Assorted toys, like balls and shoelaces

DIY Cat Bow Tie supplies:
– Fabric (I used felt scraps)
– Sewing thread + needle
– Two (2) plastic rings (size depends on pet’s collar)

I made this kitty cat bow tie in about 10 minutes. Super simple!

Start by cutting out a long strip of fabric. Mine was approx. 9″ long x 2″ wide. Make yours longer (or shorter) depending on size of pet.

1. Fold the ends on the fabric into the middle of the strip. Overlap them slightly.
2. Cut a second piece of fabric. Wrap it around the middle of the fabric to form a bow shape.
3. Hold the pieces in place with a couple pins. Quickly sew together.
4. Attach two plastic rings to the backside of bow. Slip pet’s collar through the rings.

How’s that for high feline style?!

Our furry four-pawed friends not only need lots o’ love but also need lots o’ stuff, like a place to do their business. And that’s why I filled my kitty cat litter box gift basket with LitterMaid® Premium Walnut. There’s lots to learn for a new cat owner, all things litter box being one of them!

Have you ever been to someone’s home and it smells like cat? I know I have! With LitterMaid® Premium Walnut, you get fragrance-free litter that neutralizes those litter box odors. Made with premium walnut shells, it is also 99% dust-free making for not only easy clean-up but helpful for those affected by household allergies like dust.

Our little friend is intrigued by his gift basket!

Cute and furry!
