Like alot of people, I like to bulk buy pet food as it saves alot of money. Now I'm thinking of getting a cat, I've started to plan (amongst other things obviously!) for storage of the extra food and supplies that I'll have around.

I remembered that I had an old "Lack" coffee table from Ikea that I'd taken apart and put away, and so have decided to try using it as a stand for the guinea pigs and then to store food etc underneath the table. I then thought it looked a bit ugly, and decided to safety pin some spare fabric I had to create a curtain. Does this look okay? I've just pinned it so will obviously sew it properly if it looks acceptable.

I know it's silly, but sometimes when it's your own home, you don't realise if it looks bad or not? It's only when you invite a guest in, and they look at it funny that you realise!?

I'm quite OCD with cleanliness, and change the fleece once a day, and litter tray twice a day, so I find it rarely smells...hopefully it doesn't start to, as it is nearer the dining table now...

I was also thinking of cutting a doorway out of the curtain and then putting a litter box for the cat (one with a cover to it), behind it. Do you think this would work?

Sorry for all the questions, it's just that I live on my own, and I've been fiddling with the set up for the last 2 hours, and then stepping back wondering if it looks bad!

Thankyou :)
 
I love the curtain hiding all the piggies bits and pieces, it looks stylish neat and inkeeping with your room :)

I also like the idea for the kitty litter box too, it'll be well hiden out of the way and private for the cat to do its buisness :)
 
Phew! Thankyou! I was worried it looked silly :)) I will have a sit down tomorrow with my machine and see what I can do. I was thinking of doing 2 so that I can wash them regularly and alternate...I suppose I better concentrate on making one first though, hehe!
 
Ooo good idea, they might get a bit 'wiffy' being next to the pigs i know when the boys were indoors we'd put a towel over the cage at night, and by the end of the month it'd stink of boar! :S

I think it looks lovely keeps everything tidy :)
 
I just ordered some adhesive velcro for the cage base, and then will sew some velcro onto the fabric as well :D
 
That's a clever idea! Sadly I can't do this as Mabel wouldn't be impressed by having half her cage covered in a curtain (she's my grumpy bunny) :))
