Carole Baskin would be all over this leopard print stranded beanie. Being worsted weight, it should work up fairly quickly, and keep all you crazy cats and kittens nice and cosy.

This unusual pattern for a finger puppet made out of actual cat hair is one from a collection in the book Crafting With Cat Hair: Cute Handicrafts to Make With Your Cat. I’ve never crafted with or felted cat hair myself (I’m allergic) but it’s an interesting idea!
