Cozy cat saves energy
DELAWARE - New
Castle County 4-H members
recently learned that cats
are very effective in saving
energy, especially if it is a
Cozy Cat doorstop! 4-H’ers
combined their sewing,
crafts and home en
vironment talents & made
door stops of calico material
in the shape of a cat. Besides
a door stop, their 3'/2 foot
long tails can be tucked next
to a drafty door to keep out
the cold! The cat’s base is
filled with sand and
polyester fiber, its tail is
and-filled The finishing
touches were added with
felt, ribbon and buttons
Besides having lots of tun, 4-
H’ers found an easy way to
