CatNip Knitty Cats

I don't quite understand this but apparently not everyone likes bright colours. Some people like greys and black and white - nope, I just can't figure that out. Anyhow your wish is my command.

Breaking news.... after some serious product testing and market research (well Mum liked them) I've decided to add another item to the CatNip Knitty Cats inventory..... yes they are Knitty Mitts. Fingerless hand warmers with embroidered flowers, beads and general grooviness. (General Grooviness was a marvelous chap, fought with him during the war, Private Grooviness was a touch odd but each to their own I always say.)
$29 a pair, choose your edging colour, any colour is fine not just these two, or let me shut my eyes and choose a random colour for you. Please message me to order 🐾🐾 and remember CatNip Knitty Cats luvs ya!

Introducing two more members of the CatNip Knitty Cat family, Namu and Gobolino. These two wee girls were rescued from the wild when they were very small, very skinny and very scared. Now they have a home and are setting about training their human servant thing. She's doing quite well too, with a bit more training I'm sure she'll be perfect.

Bernard went fishing in the weekend.

Meet Arlo, isn't he just scrumptious? Those pudgy little paws and that cute wee face. Oh why don't kittens stay like that forever?

We have a new staff member here at CatNip Knitty Cats Head Office. Meet River, he is in training to be in charge of Tennis Balls and Stray Food. This is the video of his Tennis Ball Aptitude Test at his first interview. He performed quite well and has been given the job.
Bernard is working on a training programme for young River and I've had to remind Bernard several times that swatting a junior colleague across the nose is not appropriate work behaviour.

This magnificent beast is the fabulously named Zebulon. His mother suggested I should make black Knitty Cats which I have now started doing and they are very popular. Don't know why Bernard hadn't suggested it to me before, probably too busy eating and sleeping 🐾🐾

Marley surveying her domain. The small black blot on her landscape is Bernard who thinks it's his domain. Silly Bernard.

Bernard in full Quality Control mode. It's best not to get too close to him when he's working.

01/11/2023

Oooooh it's time to start thinking about Christmas! I have a hoard of Knitty Cats all ready for orders, markets and Bernard's own amusement. Some still need their faces finished, they look a bit creepy staring at me blindly.

Please get Christmas orders in as soon as you can, just message me with your order or questions. Remember they are $12 each and postage is still usually $4 but more for bigger orders.

I also have knitted tea cosies, how on earth can you manage without one?

Trying to get some sewing done but someone is guarding my stash of yummy fabrics, she has a casual claw out too so I'm not game to move her

Meet Bo, short for Boeing since he was found at the Auckland Airport carpark when he was a kitten. He now lives in the lap of luxury at my sister's house and spends his days rolling around on his back in sunny spots or sleeping in secret hidey-holes in the garden. However Bo is not one of my best customers as he doesn't have the catnip gene!

Christmas is just around the corner!! Yipppeeee! Raspberries and cream for breakfast every day! And Knitty Cat orders charging out the door. Please get your Christmas orders in early to save my mental health and to make sure the staff still get plenty of nap time between quality checking duties. CatNip Knitty Cats luvs ya🐾🐾🧶

A very busy morning here at CatNip Knitty Cats

Look at these two crazies - oh sorry I mean satisfied customers. This is Richie and Tiggie - not to cast aspersions on Richie's character but he looks like he's a Nipper (a Nip addict), I see a lot of them in my line of work. Tiggie just looks like a nutter, I see a lot of them too. Thanks very much for the photos of your beautiful puddy cats Vinnie 🐾🐾

Marley is very busy today so she has asked me to leave her in peace on the couch so she can get some work done. I suppose I'll just sit on the floor for a while

Marley's cute little pudgy paws 🐾 just because 🐾🐾
