The tunnel has a casing for a drawstring on one end and you were supposed to sew the other end with two lines of topstitching spaced 1 1/2" apart so both ends looked the same. I didn't really thinks both ends needed to look the same so I skipped sewing the second line of topstitching. I didn't want to get the fur stuck in the feed dogs again - I don't think it is good for the machine. If I find the tunnel needs the addtional sturdiness on the end I'll go back in and add it.
I tossed it out for the cats to explore yesterday morning before finishing up the drawstring on it this morning. Neither of them are really grasping the tunnel function of the Kitty Tunnel, though both have "experienced" it with the help of Jack sticking them through. They are both playing with it though, which I will consider a win. Chloe treats it as a giant "animal" - pouncing on it, biting it, and kicking it into submission. She is getting the most use out of it. Max likes jumping on it then skidding behind it to plan pouncing attacks on Chloe. I will post some pictures when I get home today.

Here is the finished product:
Max is playing with the drawstring (gnawing on it).
Chloe kept getting more into each time I turned the camera off, but here she is too:
On a happy note, the people I bought my oilcloth from finally replied to my customer service email letting me know my order had shipped out. However, they didn't say when it had shipped. I guess since I didn't explicitly ask I can't complain, but if I were answering the same email at my job (which I do, frequently) I would have included the ship date and estimated arrival date. Oh well, I know it's on its way at least. Maybe it will be in my mailbox when I get home!
