In which my cat is alarmingly tolerant...

The story begins last Tuesday, when we were retrieving Amy from the vet after her spay.  I knew they would have to shave some of her belly (it is a surgery), but I was completely unaware of the hilarity that goes along with that.  In actuality, they shaved most of her tummy, leaving her in what appeared to be a little furry bikini.

My first thought upon seeing this was, of course, "But what if she gets cold?!"  Cue my knitting prowess!  I jumped on Ravelry, and found this wonderful pattern by Christine Landry.  This pattern was awesome because instead of giving a gauge, specific weight of yarn and some vague sizes that may not be what you were looking for, it gives you the opportunity to choose your yarn, needle size and gauge, and configure the pattern to your cat's exact size.  Of course, I made mine a tiny bit big since Amy did just get spayed and there's a good chance she'll put on a little weight now.

The result is fabulous.  I've yet to put on sleeves, but that's okay for now.  I have no idea how I'd get it on her then!  She got surprisingly used to it in the four hours we had it on her.  I think this project was a success.
