Because Cats Need Costumes Too.


Or, because my sister, who has cats, not kids, asked me to create a hat for her costume-loving kitty in the style of my Viking Baby Hairdo Hat.  Seen here:


Except this cat is a guy, so I did a braided beard in lieu of the usual braids on the sides.


It was a little tricky because it was so frickin' small.  And the fact that the recipient lives in Chicago and I had no cat model to work from, just his measurements.  I could barely fit it on my hand!


It made me laugh out loud when I saw it on him though.  And I'm normally not a "dress up your pet" kind of gal, but I'm really glad she asked me to make this.


It's a good thing I have kids, not pets or there would be all kinds of pet costume crazy going on:P

Sharing this with my FAVE LINK PARTIES too so check them out HERE!

  9. That is a SCREAM! I'm Danish and I'd totally do that to my dog. It's for a Halloween Pet Parade for our favorite shelter, so he doesn't mind one day of a bandanna or something for some extra treats.

  11. That cat looks thrilled to be wearing that. That is the exact look my cat gives when my daughter puts a hat on her. When she saw this she went looking for my cats pumpkin hat. LOL

    I thought about you when we did our crash landing aliens, and my oldest did a silhouette of Jarjar for one of them. I know you're an even bigger Star Wars geek family than we are, so come see.
