Pelle just needs some rest and will reconsider.

He's a good boy.

He considered eating it, so we had to put it up on a high shelf. He is a very good kitty!

Aw! It reminds me of those "The Dog" toys!

Oh those are super cute!!! I am deeply flattered by the fact you actually remembered them from seeing my weird crochet kitty!

You know that your cat's name means "skin" in Italian? If you named it intentionally, may I ask you why?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha! We're Norwegian and Pelle is a name here - he was named by my daughter and the inspiration came from a children's TV/movie series called Pelle Politibil (Pelle the Police Car). The car is black and white just like our Pelle.

Incidentally, he also has skin under the fur, so the name is still quite fitting with added context!

Yeah, skin is great but Pelle the police car is awesome! Glad I've learned something new :)

I tried to needle-felt a picture of my cat once. It was an absolute disaster, truly the worst thing I’ve ever made - and I’ve made a lot of subpar crafty things. You nailed it in comparison!

Needle-felting is mad difficult, you never know if you end up with something cute or something deeply disturbing! Crochet is a bit more forgiving (just looks silly when bad).
