Cat’s Pajamas Jammy Keeper designed by Brenda K. B. Anderson
We all have a soft spot for roly-poly cats, and this one has a soft spot for your pajamas! A zipper on the cat’s back hides a compartment for jammies or anything else that you might want to tuck away inside of this adorable feline. A note to other adults out there with an inner child: the designer was able to fit her adult-sized footie pajamas inside this kitty. If you are worried about fitting your own PJs inside, go a little lighter on the stuffing to make the storage compartment bigger. Suitable for all ages.
