The Story Behind the Pattern

The Shelby Cat Throne was named for a finicky cat who lives in central Illinois. For some reason she will not sit directly on your lap, only walk back and forth across your lap all the while purring. The cat pictured on the site under Exclusive Patterns is named Hershey and immediately claimed the throne as soon as it was completed. (Actually he claimed it several times while I was knitting it. I would set my knitting down and even if I would be gone just for a minute, he would be sitting on it when I returned.) So I had to knit a second one for Shelby herself. And I am happy to post irrefutable evidence that she loves it!
