No matter how much you sweep, vacuum, and dust, it seems that cat hair never truly goes away no matter how much you try to get rid of it and no matter how many lint rollers you might buy. Frankly speaking, you can find it lurking everywhere… in the small cracks of your floor, on top of your furniture, and worse of all—all over your clothes!
As much as it seems impossible to deal with, some cat owners just choose to embrace the shedding as it is and instead put the fallen fur to good use. For example, using it as a material for needle felting! In case you didn’t know, the needle felting technique involves repeatedly poking a special felting needle into a rolled-up wad of fur that’s laid out on a cushion or pad. The barbs on the end of the needle help lock the fur fibers together to create one bigger body.

Both dog and cat hair can be felted due to the presence of scales on the hair shafts as the same felting method can be applied to their fur as well, however, it takes a bit of practice and maybe some more time since the result might not be as smooth as when using wool or another type of hair.
Recently, a cat owner from Japan decided to put her cat’s fur to the test, and the result is almost too cute to bear!

We all know cats (and a lot of other animals) are prone to heavy shedding and have a shedding season around two times a year

Usually, we as owners do our best to get rid of the cat fur that gets stuck to our clothes and everywhere else around the house, but Minira’s owner had another idea

Using the fur the kitty accumulated, the owner needle-felted a pair of tiny slippers!

Minira was quite confused by the gift he received from his owner
