Felted cat

I have 3 long haired cats which means... their hair is EVERYWHERE! And the only thing I can do is (okay besides shaving them down completely) brush them with a special brush. And this results in a big amount of cat hair, which I usually just throw away.
This time I wanted to try and make a little felted cat out of the hair.

To do this I needed:

● at least one cat who is trained to not kill you while you brush it (this is possibly the hardest part of all)
● brush the said cat and collect the hair
● a felting needle (mine cost under 2€)
● a cushion

First I laid the hair down on a cushion in the form of a cat and started kind of stabbing the hair to make it tighter.

Then I took it off carefully and proceeded to add pieces of hair to make it round. This is also done by stabbing the hair with the needle (carefully! if not, the fingers are going to be stabbed and this quite unpleasant).

And now I have a (completely useless) felted little cat!

PS, keep it out of reach of cats because they tend to think it's part of them and that it definitely needs to be licked.
