This is my key ring. I’ve had this wooden cat for about ten or fifteen years. It’s been worn down (by me) and colored with markers (Z-baby). It’s been lost, but always found. Because it’s big. I lose things a lot, but I love my key ring because it doesn’t stay lost for long.
My dad made the wooden cat on the key ring especially for me, not because I’m a cat lover but just because he knew it would be big enough to keep me from losing my keys. (I think my mom has one just like it. Like mother, like daughter.) The cat also makes a nice handle with which to hold the key ring. If you want one of these, you’ll have to find someone to make it for you. I searched the internet a bit but didn’t find anything quite like it. Sorry, ladies, but at least it’s an idea looking for a woodcrafter.

Your keys would never get mixed up with anyone else’s, either. How fun your dad made it for you! This would have been a great Tuesday Treasure Idea, too.
Awwww, too cute!
Hey, I’m hosting the COTV today, stop in & link to it if you have a minute…
Great idea! My mom had a big Daffy Duck keychain for years for the same reason – mine has a miniature Hungry Hungry Hippos Game.
That is exactly why I have a dog bone shaped carabeener on my key ring.
Mine are on a very long ‘leash,’ because I was always losing the darned things, too. I think they should invent keys that come when you call them: “here, keys! Here, keys!”
I like that keyring. I like big keyrings as well…and for the same reason. I’m rather good at losing things.
I just ordered the picture book preschool thing. It looks great.
