Cat and Mouse laptop case was really just an afterthought. I needed a case for my new laptop, and happened to have (just for practice) quilted some scrap fabric depicting cats. Quilted fabric would pad a laptop nicely, I thought, so I threw one together. Once done, I put the laptop in the case and discovered that I needed something to protect the wireless mouse that I use with it.

So I set about making one out of matching "cat" fabric. It didn't seem right to put a mouse in a cat case, so I embroidered a mouse on the cat fabric. Actually,the mouse is supposed to be jumping off the tree branch and over the cat's shoulder. Now the "mouse" has a safe place to stay and the "cat "case has a full stomach. Oh, I know ....
