About the Authors
Umatan and Rojiman are a cat-loving couple from Japan who make hats for their cats. Umatan came up with the idea of making hats out of cat hair when she saw a pile of brushed fur from one of her cats that resembled a hat. Now, she designs the headgear and her husband, Rojiman, photographs.
My cats name is Penuche and the hat that would best fit her personality is the Sherlock Holmes because she is a curious cat always looking into things. We also brush her every day so we have plenty of fur to make a hat with.
My cats names are Noella, Willie Unaojo and Nacho Cheddar Libre Supreme the type of hat that would most fit their personalities is a ninja mask for Noella (the sneakiest quietest hide all the time feral kitty that adopted us). Willie Unaojo (one eyed Willie… yes she has only one eye and I’m a huge Goonies fan) needs an eyepatch and pirate hat. And finally my sweet babboo Nacho Cheddar Libre Supreme obviously needs a luchador style mask and possibly a cape as he is somewhat extra. Bonus cat we care for outside is Creamy cat (creamsicle colored) and he needs a stocking cap like a hobo. Thank you for the opportunity to win and for reading this novel if you got this far 🤣
My cat’s name is Queen Penelope for short, but she’s still too little to be Queen so I call her Princess. She definitely could use a crown or tiara hat!
My cat’s name is Jake and the type of hat that would most fit his personality is Cheesehead (he is a Wisconsin Cat!), Viking Helmet (Mom & Dad re descendants of vikings) and a Pirate Hat (his full name is Captain Jake Sparrow because he only has one eye).
My cat is named Gertie and she is the best cat and deserves to win the propeller beanie
My cat(s) name is Luke and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is a baseball cap. He has a lot of energy so he would love sports.
My cats’ names are Liza and Winnie, and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is an Easter Bunny hat for Liza because she is soft as a bunny and bounces around like one too, and Winnie’s personality is suited to a flower wreath hat because she’s just like a chubby little cherub angel.
My furry kids’ names are LingLing and Kitty. Kitty is tuxedo kitty, so a very tall top hat would do his appearance well. LingLing would need a hat that had openings for her spectacular Siamese ears!
My cat’s name is Caillou Argente, and he would best suit a top hat – being an elegant fellow, and always dressed ready for an evening out
My cats are Sophie and Pumpkin. They think they are the rulers of the house, which of course they are, so a regal hat or crown would also be perfect for both of them.
My cats name is Jemma and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is a Tiara as she is the queen around this house.
My cats are Essie, who is far too dignified to consider wearing a hat; Firedancer, who should have a crown of flames; Sirius Black, who of course needs a wizard hat; Rocky, who would rock a jester’s cap; and Elsa, who of course requires a tiara.
My cat’s name is Remi and the type of hat that would most fit her personality is a hard hat. Whenever I have construction done in the house she is there supervising and sometimes even climbs their ladder!
I’m not sure my cats would be crazy about wearing a hat but they sure would be cute.
My first cat up is Sparkey. The type of hat that would most fit his purrsonality is the Sherlock Holmes because he is a nosey cat. Next up is Myusha. The type of hat that would most fit his purrsonality is the Unicorn because he’s a special kitty. Next is Yona. The type of hat that would most fit her purrsonality is Princess Leia because she’s a sneaky cat. Finally is BB-8. The type of hat that would most fit her purrsonality is the Spooky Witch, because she’s a black kitty.
My cat(s) names are Kitty and Mama and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is a loaf of bread because they look like loaves of bread loafin’ around all the time. They also love kneading bread at the bakery! ^.^
My cat’s name is Ashe. She is the best (bug) hunter and most playful, most adventurous cat I have ever had! She would look great in an Indiana Jones fedora (or possibly an extreme sport helmet!). She’s 3 and still so incredibly active. We are constantly having to come up with new enrichment activities and objects.
My cats names are Aurora and Luna and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is a crown and unicorn horn. Lol
My cat(s) names are 1. Angel and she is the queen of the castle so a crown would be for her. 2. Link he’s our lounger so I would give him a beanie with a puff ball on top. 3. Sage she’s our little terror (hehe) so she gets devil ears. hehe.
My cats names are Charlie and Joey. Joey would be best fitted with the propeller hat as he’s always up to mischief and Charlie is a king so definitely the Viking hat
My cat(s) names are Felicity, Vanna, Barnaby, and the type of hat(s) that would most fit their personality is, in above order: Felicity, a silver crown to mark her regal bearings and upbringing of the “newbies” & fit in w/ her powers of invisibility, Vanna, a zippy racer’s helmet, since she’s prone to leading the 3 AM group zoomies, and for Barnaby, a feral rescue, born in a barn, but since self-promoted to nursing home therapy cat and a ladies man w/ his at-home “Hairem” girls, a suave shepherd’s cap!
Also, I am already a fiber artist exploring new-to-me felting techniques and making donations to area animal shelters as a legacy/memorial for my mom, Joy, so this would be a purrfect fit fur moi as well…
My cat(s) names are Spuds, Pip, Puff, Slinky, Pinky, Ringo, Quinn, Coco Chanel, Jack, and Michael and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is the Viking, the beanie, and sherlock.
My cat’s name is Peanut(also known as Sweet Pea) and the hat that would fit her personality is the Amelia Earhardt hat because she races down the hallway after her mice and socks.
My cat’s names are Kitty and Helix and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is a baseball cap that says “Queen” for Kitty since she was literally a queen when I found her, she thinks she rules this place and any cat she encounters, she considers her inferior. Helix should have a gremlin hat because he is young, rambunctious, a bit of a troublemaker, and ALWAYS hungry!
My cats’ names are Basil and Pansy and the type of hat that would most fit their personality is the Lion and the flower wreath.
My cat’s name is Max and the type of hat that would most fit his personality is a cute little hard hat made of fur. Lol!! He loves to supervise projects around here. My hubby says he’s going to also get Max a little toolbelt.
My cat’s name is Princessa, and the hat that would fit her is whatever hat gangsters wear nowadays… with a handkerchief to cover her furry face. Tried to murder the vet. Maybe she’d look good in orange…
I used to be so annoyed with cat hair getting everywhere. My Pennie used to shed a lot. A blog on PetCareRx suggested that she might develop Alopecia due to the parasites or allergies. After a few doctors visit, her shedding has now become normal. I guess it’s time to make cat hats now that she’s out of danger! (She will 100% hate it, given than she’s an orange)
