Among the many articles we've shared about cats, quite a few focus on collections. This doesn't mean a family has gathered a large army of cats (that's not what we mean, haha), but rather that some owners specifically collect cat fur. Today's topic, "Making Hats from Collected Cat Fur for Cats", was originally shared by a Twitter user named "MiniraDiary". It's fascinating how a hat made from fur placed on a cat seems to be quite liked by the feline wearer.
For owners who collect cat fur, there are generally two main approaches. One is to accumulate the fur into a ball, which grows larger over time depending on how long the collection lasts—some owners even manage to make a ball as big as a basketball if conditions allow. The other, more common method, is similar to felting wool: the collected cat fur is crafted into items such as boots, slippers, or small hats like the ones shared today, which are then worn by their beloved cats.
The original Twitter post was shared in tweet form last week and resonated with many online, garnering over 3.7 million views. Many users found cats wearing hats made from their own fur adorable, and several shared their own creations. This clearly shows that many cat owners enjoy doing similar crafts online.
Highlights include:
- Cats seeming not to mind wearing these fur hats.
- A handmade beret crafted from collected cat fur.
- A hat made specifically for a cat using its own fur.
- A previous hat made for a cat, with plans to make matching slippers next time.
- A user sharing a cat fur hat they made five years ago.
To think about it from another perspective: if humans made hats from their own body hair—say, from their own hair—would wearing such a hat make us happy?
