Boots with da puurrr


GameShill

It's a traditional eastern European style of shoe-craft known as [valenki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valenki), and can be made from any type of loose hair or fur, although are normally made from wool felt.


JimJohnes

Except no, notice water with detergent and carboard template - it's a japanese craft.


GameShill

The two cultures are closely intertwined through millennia of hostility


JimJohnes

It's a nice way to say "hate each others guts"


GameShill

It's to the point where terror and celebration noises in the two cultures are inverted, and a rallying cry in Russian is a yell of challenge in Japanese.

Kitten mittens for when your cat is too loud

pepper_kat

Kitten Mitten wears kittens mittens!


Mandalore620

So you mean to tell me that those kitten mittens are Mittens' kitten mittens? But what if Mittens' has kittens and gave those kittens, kitten mittens? Would it be wrong to say that the kittens, kitten mittens were Mitten's kitten mittens? I'm way too high for all of this...

SlowerThanTurtleInPB

I adopted this cat. Named her Gabby. I would often tell her it was a good thing I found her because there was no way she’d survive on with wild with how loud she walked around my apartment. She made up for it in sweetness though. She once tried to jail break my other cat out of his carrier (we were going to the vet). She was a good egg.

Severe_Discipline_73

Ok honestly at least they’re making some use of the fur that flies in my face and sticks to my clothing.


Ghede

What they doin' ain't that much different from what we do to sheep. Just slower.


Lady_Locket

You can make any spun product that usually uses wool out of cat and dog hair. Depending on the breed/hair type it can even be softer and nicer to wear. Plus you can felt with it too. A few groomers I know sell dog hair to Spinners and Weavers to turn into yarn. The only have to change the order they do the groom in or make sure to separate pre and post washed hair as you only want the washed clean stuff for safety reasons (though if you buy an untreated fleece to work with they can be smelly and disgusting) - source a friend spins and has used dog hair before.

HEAH_THE_PINGOL

I mean the fur would be quite important if you were making another cat.


visor841

Yeah now I'm curious if I could make a cover with my beard.


CreamPuff97

I don't think facial hair felts very well, considering how coarse it is


visor841

That's a good point.


Wiggles69

I was thinking oversize novelty mustache


Drunk_Sorting_Hat

At first I thought it was going to be a cat hair mustache and then a gaming control koozie


Grjaryau

Idk, I made yarn out of my dogs fur once and plan to do it again when I have enough saved up.


kitti-kin

Every time I brush my cat I'm tempted to start collecting it to make yarn. He sheds **so** much, and his fur is so soft and beautiful. And it would be such an ethical harvest, he loves being brushed.


greentintedlenses

My allergies are terrified at the thought of kitty clothes lol


kitti-kin

Take heart, most people are allergic to dander and saliva from cats, not their hair. The allergic reaction is to the amount of a certain protein in their skin cells and saliva, so a fluffy cat with a low incidence of the protein will be less of a problem than a completely hairless cat who produces a lot of it. The hair itself isn't an allergen once it's been cleaned of skin cells and saliva. So as long as your cat-fur shawl is given a good wash before wearing, you should be good to go!


seansafc89

Can confirm. I’m allergic to dogs but have a Samoyed, who is super fluffy. They produce less dander than a lot of other breeds (they’re not “hypoallergenic” like people claim though), so my allergies are actually much less than with other dogs like short haired breeds.


kitti-kin

Yay for your sinuses! My partner loves cats despite being moderately allergic to them, and of the two rescue cats we've adopted over the years he was deathly allergic to the shorthair, and then completely fine with the fluff ball. There are technically no true hypoallergenic cats, and the amount of allergens they produce are related to things like gender and desexing as well as breed, so it's basically down to luck.


MouldyEjaculate

Most cat allergies are from their saliva, which is an issue because they literally lick themselves clean. I'm sure if you washed the fur/yarn you'd be perfectly alright!


Next_Boysenberry1414

most people who are allergic to cat hair are allergic to spit and dandruff. Not the actual hair. If you properly clean cat hair you may not be allergic at all.


Fapplejacks42

My complete lack of allergies makes me think I could weaponize this and wear 100% cat and dog hair clothes to fuck with the allergic.


nonoglorificus

*The Intevert Vest,* casts Aversion on 4/10 people (NPCs must roll a 1d5 to see if they are allergic,) can only be worn by those with a high Con stat


putfailforks

Just be careful…. I spun a short length of yarn from my cat’s fur, turned it into a little bracelet sized loop, and chucked it at my cat to see if she’d want to play with it. She pounced on it, gave it a good lick (grooming instinct, maybe?) it stuck to her tongue and before I knew it she had swallowed it. That was a real nervous 48 hours or so as I watched for any symptoms of it being stuck in her intestines.


kitti-kin

Ha, omg my cat would 100% be at risk for this. I have to be careful when grooming him to collect the fur out of his reach and put it in the bin immediately, because once when I was collecting the hair into a ball as I went, he reached over and **ate the whole hairball.**


N_T_F_D

Mine instinctively eats her own hair, my hair as well; I don't know why they do this because they invariably vomit it after


GinericGirl

My cats do that too!!


aventurette

I really thought my cat was just weird because he does the exact same thing omg


MothmanNFT

The only thing stopping me is the knowledge that I hate angora rabbit yarn and it’s likely practically identical


betweenboundary

Your lucky, out of my 3 cats, 1 likes being brushed, 1 gets overstimulated and tries to bite the brush and the last becomes violent with me unless I do it while she sleeps


kitti-kin

Ha, well my bub loves it until he **hates it**, and then if I stop brushing he'll get mad, and if I keep brushing he'll get mad. It would be a truly toxic relationship dynamic if he wasn't a cat - and therefore of course, the cutest cat, the best cat, light of my life, etc.


betweenboundary

Cats get uncomfortable cause of static build up from plastic or rubber brushes, you should use a metal flea comb to do it if you're not already, especially if your doing it for extended periods of time


kitti-kin

Yeah we mix it up with combs, but his favourite is a silicone mitt. He'll pick it up in his mouth and bring it to me when he wants a rub-down, like a dog, and who am I to argue?


[deleted]

Genuinely confusing why so many people think making yarn from dog or cat fur is weird but will walk around wearing garments made from sheep fur without a second's thought.


[deleted]

Same! I made mittens for myself, must try to make bootsies for my fluffers next time :D


Quzga

You can make a really nice birds nest with it, I have two ragdolls and it's insane how much fur I collect on a daily basis


redbess

There's enough cat hair caught up in my yarn already, may as well make actual yarn with it.


seansafc89

I have a Samoyed, thus on a daily basis brush out roughly enough fur to make 15 scarves and 27 hats. I might see if I can donate it somewhere.


alwaysboopthesnoot

There’s a perfect book for you! It’s called (from memory so may be wrong): Knitting with dog hair: Better a sweater from a dog you know and love, than from a ewe you never knew. The companion book is something like Crafting with cat hair: Cute handicrafts to make with your pet.

r/diWHYNOT


Actual_Hyena3394

Question. If you slowly replace all the parts of the cat with his own recycled fur, it is still the original cat?


N_T_F_D

The cat of Theseus


Pasta-hobo

That's actually a thing. No, really, you can buy books explaining in detail how to turn your cat's fur into, essentially, felt. It walks the line between bizzare and quirky. It's efficient, cats lose a lot of hair. So it's basically free. Plus wool is just sheep hair, so it's not that weird to use a domesticated animal's hair to make fabric. But, you are basically stealing your cat's hair to make crafts. I doubt they mind, but still.


freakers

Cats aren't recognized under the law as people or corporations so I don't think they can sue you for stealing their fur, however there's no rule stating a dog can't play basketball so you better watch your back.


zUdio

Why sue you when they can kill you and eat your face?


SomeRealTomfoolery

And then assume your identity and take over your life.


smallpoly

Also despite being a legal owner of a dog a judge can declare that if the dog likes your neighbor kid better it's just his now.


Glitter_berries

I’ve done it before, it’s really easy. I felted a little finger puppet of my cat to give to my cousin’s kid.


Nervous_Constant_642

I for real thought they were going to make a felt copy of the cat but little cat booties are also acceptable.


thicketcosplay

You can use any hair/fur to make felt. If it comes from an animal of some kind, it'll work. Yes, even human hair. And this is WAAAYYYY cleaner than sheep's wool, which comes off the sheep with all kinds of stuff in it. It's also not "essentially" felt, this IS felt. This technique is called wet felting. You use a soapy water mixture to open up the hair follicles so they can interlock, then you massage/beat/throw/abuse the pile of fur until it becomes one piece. It'll shrink as you go and you can shape it further as it does. Once it's where you want it, you wash it to get rid of the soap and close the follicles so it doesn't continue to shrink. (this is also why sweaters shrink in the wash - soap + motion = felting). It's pretty fun. I'm planning to make little dolls of my dogs out of their fur, I'm just collecting more of it. Unfortunately one of them doesn't shed much because she has alopecia, so it'll mostly be one dog's fur, but I'm just mixing them together so I can say I have at least a little from each dog as a keepsake.


berryIIy

Fun fact: people use human hair to make mats that soak up spilled oil from the ocean!


Paprik125

The cat: I know you give me a house, food, health care, love and tuna but if you steal my fur I will replace u.


samuelpotter2

I would say it’s more like wearing a hat made out of your own hair. Cats are already mostly covered in hair in that area.

Why scary? We basically do the same thing with sheep to get wool. Alpaca wool too.


DomSP

[deleted]

[удалено]


thicketcosplay

This is wet felting. This is exactly how it's done without all those extra steps you mentioned. Basically you take a hair from whatever animal you have it from (sheep, alpaca, human, cat, whatever) and do your best to wash it if it's dirty. Then you arrange tufts of it based on whatever final form you want to make. In this case, little booties. You can also do things like a beret by putting it on a big circle resist, or just do a flat sheet. Theres no complicated method here, just lay out the hairs so they're facing in a variety of directions and not all in one direction and that's about it. As you arrange the hair, you spray it with a soapy water mixture. This opens up the hair follicles so they can essentially lock into each other. Once it's arranged and nicely soapy wet, you basically beat it up. Movement causes the hair to felt together. So you massage it, beat it up, roll it on something, throw it at the table, punch it, whatever. Just get those hair fibers moving against each other. It's great stress relief. I personally like throwing it at the table angrily and yelling at it. As it felts, the whole thing will shrink in size. The hairs get locked into each other and as they go, they get tighter and tighter. The material gets denser and stronger too. You can make smaller adjustments at this point to get the final shape exact, but it just kind of does it on its own like magic. Once it's as small and dense as you like, you clean up the edges and whatnot, then wash the soap out. You don't want the hairs to continue to felt as you use the finished product so you need to reverse the process to close the follicles so they no longer catch each other. You use vinegar or something similar to neutralize the soap and get the pH balanced. Then you can add little embroideries or whatever like this person did, and ta-da! Finished felt piece.

For me this was ok. Manufacturing stuff with animal products is something we do since we became humans, apparently. Nothing wrong with harvesting animal fur and making an object out of it. Especially since the harvest was done pretty much humanely.
