Snaggletooth Crumple Ear's Story
Hello, I am Snaggletooth Crumple Ear (that's not really my name just a nickname given to me by Sweet Slinky). I met Sweet Slinky one afternoon when I was sunbathing in my front yard. I let her pet me and take a picture. It was the only time we ever saw each other, but I am told that she keeps an eye out for me whenever she walks in Monrovia. I made such an impression on her that she commemorated me with a lovely quilted square.
The Cat Joy Project was conceived in late 2024 when I found myself feeling overwhelmed by a sense of doom and gloom. I needed to refocus my attention. And so the idea of creating quilted cat squares as a way to share my love of cats, walking, and Los Angeles was born. After spending the latter part of 2024 and the first month of 2025 teaching myself to sew, the project is now ready to be launched. The hand sewn quilted squares will be released on my walking routes for someone to find. Each square represents a cat that I have encountered either on one of my walks or at some other point in my life. Every cat has a story. You can read their stories here. If you find a cat square, you may keep it or relocate it to be found again. I hope this small gesture will bring some joy and happiness to those who find the cats and those who follow their stories.
Snaggletooth Crumple Ear quilted square has flown to Hiroshima, Japan and it's loved by all of my family.
