Colouring with Cats #104 ~ Getting Your OM’s on with Mandalas on Mondays ~ The Cactus Make-Over, What Do Mew Think To It Now?

Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furiends

A few weeks ago we shared Melvyn and the Cactus scratch post, well if mew look at the picture in the post mew'll notice that the bottom is covered in a beige/brown shagpile fabric, anyhoo we were looking at it the other day and decided that we really didn't like it that much and needed to do something about it stat.  

So we headed into the craft room and found some pom poms thinking that it might look quite funky and it did, but sadly we didn't have enough and so we went for option two, a nice verdant grass effect with some faux fur we had in stock and then we decided to change how the cacti were situated for a bit of variety too! MOL

What do mew think, is it improved or did mew like the beige shagpile more?

We would have really liked to do the pom poms but mew see those in pic 1, that's £33.00 worth and we'd probably need as many again to do it propurrly and we don't think £66.00 of poms poms is justifiable, that amount buys a lot of cat food and treats, and we know what we'd sooner have and it's not pom poms! MOL 

Anyhoo, we do hope mew've all have a totally pawesome weekend, and that mew're ready for the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing for a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Smooch is here again to offur mew assistance in getting your OM's on and Zen Harmonies happening, so just press play, close your eyes and follow his instructions.

We really like this colour combo, what do mew think?

Coloured on the iPad and then transformed in Prisma, this time we chose the effect - Puma.
