Despite how much you sweep, vacuum, and dust, it seems that cat hair is impossible to get rid of. You can find it everywhere – in the small cracks of your floor, on top of your furniture, and even all over your clothes.
However, some cat owners choose to embrace the shedding and use the fallen fur for needle felting. This technique involves repeatedly poking a special felting needle into a rolled-up wad of fur that’s laid out on a cushion or pad.
By doing this, the barbs on the end of the needle lock the fur fibers together to create a bigger body. Both dog and cat hair can be felted due to the presence of scales on the hair shafts.
Although it takes some practice and patience, the same felting method can be applied to their fur. The result might not be as smooth as when using wool or another type of hair, but it’s still possible to create something cute and unique.

Introducing Minira, a charming feline sensation that has taken the internet by storm
Many pet owners have regular brushing sessions with their fluffy companions. As we mentioned earlier, needle felting is a great option for pet fur, just like Minira’s owner who created tiny slippers for their cat. To avoid mildew, store the collected fur in a cloth bag. Once you’ve collected around 4 ounces of pet hair, you can wash it gently in warm water with your preferred shampoo or dish soap.
Cats and many animals shed heavily twice a year, which can be managed through grooming, diet, and specialized tools
Once the fur is fully dried, the next step is to meticulously hand card it, ensuring that it is thoroughly prepped for use. For furs that are less than four inches long, it is crucial to add wool to the mixture before carding. This step is crucial before starting larger projects, such as crafting slippers the size of a feline. It sounds like a fun process, doesn’t it?
We’re curious, dear readers, have you ever attempted needle felting with your pet’s fur? If so, what creations would you fashion from it? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below, and if you have any existing pieces, please share those too!
Usually, as pet owners, we try our best to remove cat fur that sticks to our clothes and around the house. However, Minira’s owner had a different idea.
The owner made a pair of tiny slippers using the fur that the kitty had accumulated through needle felting
Minira, who is likely a pet or animal owned by someone, was given a gift by their owner that caused them to feel uncertain or puzzled.
The individual wrote on Twitter, “I created some small slippers for my cat using fur that I brushed off of him. They turned out incredibly adorable, and the size is just perfect as his tiny feet are sticking out. It’s so cute that I can’t handle it!”
And here’s a size comparison between the kitty and human slippers
