This is one of the many great things about CO: The peeps are so diversified and helpful that you can get an answer to just about anything, no matter how un-pet-related it is.

Thanks, Amy J. Your description sounds extremely familiar to the American trend of baseball caps (is it just the US?), which some men seem to refuse to leave the house without.

@Sissy: If you find one up there in Canada, will it be a “toque”???

LOLing at all the yarmulke/meowmulke ref’s!

“Hast sie gesehn in deinem Leben???”

okay, i made one of these right away and tried to put it on all three of my cats (not all at once). they all hated it and shook it off immediately–i did not make the chin strap, so it fell off easily with the first shake. so i put it on my webkinz cat instead. she wears it happily!

I’m from Canada. Anybody know where I can find a pattern for a knitted Mountie hat for my cat?

….serious posts only!

That cat is looking like, “I TEWTELLY hate this hat!

Brinnan – they come in all kinds of patterns and colors, decorated for sports teams, cartoon characters (Homer and Bart, anyone?), giant smiley faces, slices of watermelon, or with multi-colored designs, you name it! In Israel they sell them by the dozen with patterns and colors that would let this kitty feel right at home.

Oh come on! Think of all the fun we’ve had with cozies! Kitten, puppeh, heck, even penguin, tree and my favorite, apple cozies.

I can’t believe they got the hat onto a calico.
They must have anesthetized her first.
Even then i bet someone had to take a little trip to the bathroom cabinet for some bandaids.

If I tried this with my Mr. Picky, he’d crochet me a yarmulke with his teeth on my right pinkie!

To Theo and other helpers, thanks for the complete set of directions!
