| Sitting up this time. |
 |
| I'm really pleased with how I was able to get in some shoulder and haunch definition. This is a muscular cat! Good thing, too, because... |
 |
| ...his homely face certainly isn't going to be bringing in the ladies. |
Thankfully, he's already got a designated companion.
 |
| Mr. and Mrs. Cat took a honeymoon trip to the Argonath, one of the seven wonders of the geek world. |
Obligatory comparison and introduction to the original:
 |
| Same pose! |
 |
| "And what gift would a felted cat ask of a real cat?" "None, Lord Walnut, for it is enough for me to have seen a real cat, and to have heard his majestic words." Then the Lord Walnut shed three thousand of his hairs. "These words shall go with the gift...I say to you, Felted Cat, that your paws will flow with hair, and yet over you hairballs shall have no dominion." (The lighting on this picture was just so reminiscent of Lothlorien, I couldn't resist.) |
With humblest apologies to JRR Tolkien, who does not deserve to have his brilliant and beautiful words co-opted by a feline-obsessed blogger.
Make another one so Lord Walnut can give him a box of self cleaning litter!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is too hilarious.
And a rope made of cat hair, of course.
DeleteBrilliant! I could actually make a rope from cat hair...
DeleteThat last picture is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who's amused by it :)
DeleteThese are just so cute!! x
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteUtterly adorable! If my cat happened to be a long hair breed than I might consider learning this new skill...its quite a sweet thought.

The book does seems to indicate that it would work with shorthairs as well, although it would probably take much longer to collect enough hair!
DeleteThanks for the much-needed laugh this morning! The caption on that last photo was just too funny.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I could make you laugh :)
DeleteOh, those are so cute! I've only just got into felting and have made a mannequin head to hold vintage hats. Everyone thinks she's scary though!
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I would never have thought of that!
DeleteI love it! They're adorable, and the caption on the last photo is priceless.
ReplyDeleteHehehe let's just hope that Tolkien's estate doesn't come after me ;)
DeleteLove!
ReplyDeleteYay!!
DeleteToo cute! And hilarious captions :) Are the little critters heavy? Are their bodies hard or smushy?
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty light, and their bodies feel more compact if you felt them more. On mine, I left the ears and tail smushy because I didn't want to overdo it, but the bodies themselves feel pretty solid.
DeleteLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! This guy is totally cute, too. I'm choosing to pretend that it's made out of wool (which doesn't count as hair or fur in my book, so totally OK).
ReplyDeleteSonja, you crack me up! I'll just go ahead and label all future felting projects as "oh yeah, this is totally wool from sheeps."
DeleteThe adorableness has even turned Sonja!! These are like the best things I've ever seen on the internets.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to see more things...j/k ;) I agree, though, there are pretty awesome!
DeleteOK, that's really cute. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for not adding "but also disgusting" :)
DeleteI love them, but I love the LOTR references more. Thanks for them :) (Hello. I've been lurking in the shadows for a while, and reading along - not like Gollum, though, I promise!)
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and lurk like Gollum, as long as you don't lead me to a spider! ;)
DeleteLOVE the cat pictures! Walnut is SO cool!
ReplyDeleteWalnut takes pride in being a beneficent lord of cats.
DeleteLOLOLOL! Oh, the last photo and caption are, well...purrfection! =)
ReplyDelete~ Brooke
I'm so glad people are getting a kick out of that last caption!
DeleteHahaha! Walnut is especially luminescent in the last picture - purrrrfect :)
ReplyDeleteThe wonders of backlighting :)
Deleteteehee.... LOVE the Galadriel reference!! Puurfect!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that so many people get it!
DeleteThese are so adorable. It almost makes me want to save my kitty's hair, but it kind of grosses me out at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHahaha yes, that seems to be the general reaction. Even my husband, who loves Walnut as much as I do, was a little put off...
DeleteHAHAHAHA! This is just awesome! I can't believe how cute it is!
ReplyDeleteThanks for thinking a mound of hair is cute ;)
DeleteAww! It's so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteYay, glad you think so!
DeleteI am wondering how long you followed Walnut around waiting for him to sit still long enough in the perfect post so get that photo :) Loving the luminescent picture!
ReplyDeleteMore like repeatedly dumping him on the island and hoping he would sit, then giving up and finding him in the perfect pose not two minutes later...:)
DeleteOh my more adorableness! Both the big and the little cats are just divine. I don't have a cat due to commitment issues my partner has but I desperately want one and now I want one just like Walnut.
ReplyDeleteOne day! But yes, my big and little cats are quite fun...Walnut especially has added so much joy to my life.
DeleteLove the felted kitties, Walnut looking as fabulous and majestic as ever
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll pass on the compliment to him :)
DeleteThank you, Alisa!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so cute when Walnut goes nose to nose with one of his underlings!
ReplyDeleteonly slightly odd, but way more awesome and beyond CUTE!! both little tiny kitties are so cute. and love the nose to nose picture that walnut is in.
ReplyDeleteI love that last picture, the one with the cats nose-to-nose. Love it. I bookmarked it and keep looking back at it. Want a poster of it. Want a framed picture of it on my wall. Did I mention that I love it?
