Kitty Shawl for Paprika!

I started working on a shawl for myself using yarn from Ireland, and while I was doing so, my cat, Paprika, jumped onto my lap. I laid the beginnings of the shawl over her back and instantly realized this was clearly made for HER, not for me! So it ended up being a one-day quick project, and I’m started again on a different shawl for myself. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Here’s my little princess wearing her shawl!

My mom was giving her a treat. :slight_smile:

I took over treat-giving duties.

Here’s the little shawl on its own.

I didn’t know my kitty boys needed shawls until this moment. I doubt they’d wear them as gracefully though. Paprika is utterly adorable and I love the colors in her shawl. It’ll be so cute when you have a matching one as well.

I think your cat has a future as a shawl model! Thank goodness, she jumped onto your lap at just the right time because she rocks that shawl!

That is so cute. I didn’t think cats would accept wearing more than a collar

Paprika won’t even tolerate a collar, actually! And she hates hats. I think this is loose and lightweight enough that she doesn’t mind.

This post needs a content advisory: beauty overload

Your shawl is beautiful, your cat is beautiful, your mom is beautiful, and you are beautiful!

You did a great job on the shawl, and yours is one of very few cats I’ve seen who seems to actually enjoy wearing accessories :slight_smile:

Awww, thank you!

And I was surprised too! She haaaates hats and collars, but when I laid this over her, she didn’t even try to shrug it off! That’s when I decided to finish it off for her. :slight_smile:
