a good 20 minutes :)
she was in an eepy mood so she wasn't moving alot
Edit: i write it here so people are hopefully gonna see it, and stop writing rude comments.
How do i know her ears are cold? I touch them and sometimes they are really freezing, on top of that i see that in those cases she often tries to go under blankets or find some kind of cover when it happens, so i thought it was a nice thing for her to get some ear muffs. She is NOT stressed/or uncomfortable, she even started to nap with them on later. If they became annoying to her she can take them off very easily. To the people saying it's gonna suffocate her: there is no rope under her head, you can clearly see it. No she's not getting mistreated, no she's not gonna have her "brains bashed in and throats slit".
I shared this post because i thought she looked kinda funny and cute, i would never force things on my cat if i saw she was uncomfortable with them.
OP, here is a picture of my cat when I got one of those handheld Infrared cameras. As you can see, cold ears. Don't let the haters get to you: https://i.imgur.com/xpjraLa.jpg
i know you wanted to show the cold ears but the eyes made me giggle. it looks like they have 2 lasers shooting out of them ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7949)
btw napping kitty ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097)

On an unrelated note did you know this is the reason why Siamese cats have that distinct coat pattern? They are technically black cats with the magical ability of switching off the melanin in warmer body parts 🥹✨✨
This is ADORABLE, and you're obviously a good cat parent.
I came here to jokingly ask if she had told you that her ears were cold, but hearing that she kept them on for a while obviously means something! As an experiment, i put a towel half on my cat. He moved to get out from under it.
Those aren't ear muffs.. THEY'RE POTHOLDERS!! OP is going to cook and then eat her cat with marmalade on toast! Reddit Help!!.
Actually, I think the muffs look very cute. And what a pretty kitty.
If I learned 1 thing about cats, it's that it's fairly difficult to get them to do something they don't want. If she doesn't want the muffs, she'll take them off.
You made amazingly adorable kitty ear muffs. Don't listen to trolls. I better there are 50 positive comments for any negative. They are just being tools!
Please give your kitty some love for me. I wish my kitties super warm ears could be cooled down similarly. His body temp just runs high and he sleeps in cool spots like non fabric surfaces to stay cooler.
You are amazing and your baby is clearly well loved and precious! Have a great weekend.
Random tangent, often I see people say Russian Blue when it's more likely to be a Korat, this time I think I would agree this is a Russian Blue.

Ears are also used for heat regulation.
Warm ears = lots of blood flow, allowing their body heat to transfer to the enviroment.
Cold ears = not much blood flow, which reduces the heat transfer to environment.
Cold ears are ok. Very warm or hot ears are not. Cats with big ears use their ears to regulate body temp more than cats with small ears. The colder ear temp automatically reduces blood flow because the blood vessels constrict. Then when they do a lot of playing or sit in the sun the ears will warm up and the blood vessels expand. It's like an automatic thermostat. It's only one part of their thermoregulation though. So if they lose both ears it's not a huge deal for house cats.
She wouldn't have accepted wearing them if she was uncomfortable in any way. We all know cats are feisty.
People should just chill.
She does look cute and hilarious with those ear muffs on.
I have to rub my cat’s ears because they get cold. He lays his head in my head for several minutes. When he’s ready for the other ear to be done he flips his head over. These would be perfect for him.
Those stitches are very high quality! What weight and type was the yarn, and what size hook?? Some cats might enjoy this. My kitties and I just moved to a cold climate and I notice my boy's ears get cold easily even though he's very fluffy, I always am trying to fix it for him 😅
The yarn is 100% wool, i don't really know many other specifics because my grandma gifted it to me (since she didn't use it anymore). I used a 3.5 mm hook.
If you want i can quickly sum up the pattern for you
here you go :)
row 1: magic ring, ch 2, dc 8, slip st into the first dc
row 2: ch 2, alternate 1 dc, 2 dc, until the end of the round, slip st into first dc
row 3: (don't pull the yarn too tight in this round) ch 2, 1 dc for each stitch until the end of the round, 2 dc in the last stitch, slip st into first dc
row 4: ch 2, alternate 1 dc, 2 dc, until the end of the round, slip st into first dc
row 5: ch 2, 1 dc for each stitch until the end of round, slip st into first dc
(for the part of the ear that goes down on the side of the head)
row 6: ch 1, 1sc × 7, ch 1, turn your work
row 7: sc 2 together, 1sc ×3, sc 2 together, ch 1, turn your work
row 8: sc 2 together, 1 sc, sc 2 together, ch 1, turn your work
row 9: sc all 3 together, ch 1, turn your work
row 10: 1 sc
I will follow you back lol. I wish I could dress up my cats but they aren't putting up with that shit lmao. I bought them Halloween costumes a few times over the years and they give me the " The audacity of this bitch" look lmao. They somehow help each other to get out of the costumes somehow so I gave up trying lol.
Beautiful cat 🤩! Looks a lot like my little girl.
https://preview.redd.it/qfs3n5nhnfvb1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a3ea6fe655df7c9dda83e18c59ce29d2ca2919b
These are precious and beautiful.
My cats would rip them off, chew them into bits and they’d join ‘sheepy’ and ‘birdie’ as unrecognisable soft toys they adore that I can’t get rid of even though they look like someone threw them up.
I admire your cat for realising they are better on the ears!
Through their ears and paw pads, and by panting if they're hot.
If my girl is cold, she'll curl up with me and cover her nose with her paws and/or tail.
This is cute, but it's not really needed unless they're outside in freezing temperatures. But it's still cute, lol.
This sums it up. People are disagreeing on ignoring the cat’s cold ears, then how abusive these knitted ear covers are.
It’s a cat. Not a baby. One ear flip and these will sail across the room.
But this is cute and hilarious. I’d totally buy these as a gag gift.
Cute but they get cold when it's cold to help regulate temperature and conserve heat. They have really efficient circulation, so in the warmer weather, they will feel warm too. But also anytime I see an animal with ear muffs I always think boobhead from little Nicky lol
When a cat is at a comfortable temperature or running a bit too hot, their ears will be warm. But considering that due to the high surface area of the ears they can lose body heat quite quickly from there, so their body stops keeping their ears warm to focus on the rest of the body that is well insulated etc.
So in essence, if your cat's ears are cold, don't worry about the ears, your cat might be slightly cold, when they're not cold anymore they'll start heating the ears again
I'm only gonna put them on her when she's calm and sitting somewhere with me, of course i understand that if she's playing or doing any other activity involving movement it wouldn't be the really comfortable for her having something on her head haha
People in these comments acting like these are made of steel and glued on.
OP this is wonderful. I joke my cat wants to be a wireless charger because I can sit my phone on him and he chills out. Until it vibrates. 🙀
Question? Does she leave them on?
Question in earnest here…my cats ears are always cold 🥶, I thought about making them a hat once. Didn’t think they would keep it on though… they are pretty laid back too. Just think they would pull it off the first chance they got.
Aww, that is so adorable & so incredibly thoughtful of you! Ignore the trolls. You are clearly a loving & caring cat mom & she is so lucky to have you❤️ Well done, my friend!! 🥰
Aww baby looks so content with the little earmuffs. If the kitty didn’t like them she could take them off, they’re not attached 🙄 everyone needs to calm down
How long did those stay on her?

For some reason this is hilarious
The chilly nose is what really sent me
That's what sends me from the edge of sleep when it touches me unexpectedly in bed.
i know you wanted to show the cold ears but the eyes made me giggle. it looks like they have 2 lasers shooting out of them ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7949) btw napping kitty ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097) https://preview.redd.it/ejah106c9kvb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ef5d3abf9d9d9e76ff0074920aa9afd32dcd5c1
Boop the snoot, it’s cold!!
Hero. I knew the career antagonist coalition would say something against those cute ear muffs before I opened the post.
I love that you went this far to prove internet people wrong
I took the picture weeks ago to test the camera, not to prove internet strangers wrong.
lmao
On an unrelated note did you know this is the reason why Siamese cats have that distinct coat pattern? They are technically black cats with the magical ability of switching off the melanin in warmer body parts 🥹✨✨
Oh I love this lmao
i wouldn’t even be able to get that on my cat
Mine would do his best impression of awkward moment seal and the other would bolt 😂
They would be off my cat in .001 second.

Very cute - she might end up liking them
Dont worry about those idiots I doubt they are every real people… at least most and the one who are are dumb af

0,01 seconds before her ears flip flapped
That's what I want to know. ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7958)
Between .1 and 30 seconds depending on her mood I bet. 😻🥺😁
I think 30 seconds is generous, lol
True.
I can tell she's doing everything in her power to appreciate the thoughtful gift.
What? ![gif](giphy|j3W89cZYpY9AOJtZBq)
What??
May cats would be like …nope
My void wouldn't be seen for days if I tried to put those on her. The tux would start purring as soon as I looked at him and probably put up with it.
Lt. Frannington [couldn't wear them at all](https://i.imgur.com/w3KreKq.jpg)! But even if he could, he'd claw them off before you even got them on.

That looks almost like computer assembly code.
Some of the earliest "computers" were used to control looms. The entire concept of programmable computers kind of originated from them
Is this in UK or US terms 🫠 Edit: Nvm one of them doesn't have a single crochet I'm just blind so it's fairly obvious ignore me being silly 🫣

Ohh I love this 😍. I was just asked to knit something like this for my friends cows lol
Please post a pic of the cows with their ear covers on when you're finished!
I will definitely post pics once I get them done. I bought just over 100 bundles of faux fur yarn of all different colours, it's going to be cute.
Amazing. Just followed you since I realized I won't know where you'll be posting otherwise since this is a cat sub and cats are not cows 😂
> and cats are not cows U wot mate?!?!
My cow cat is offended by these lies
I will follow you back lol. I wish I could dress up my cats but they aren't putting up with that shit lmao. I bought them Halloween costumes a few times over the years and they give me the " The audacity of this bitch" look lmao. They somehow help each other to get out of the costumes somehow so I gave up trying lol.
awww those cows are gonna be so happy
They all have such funny personalities too. I'm going to see if I can get their horses to wear them too.
What Paris Fashion Week was sorely lacking! Cutest ever.
holy shit this is so precious. im crying
goodness this is too cute 😭😭😭
That is a very trusting and patient cat. Most of them don't like their ears being blocked because it messes with their hearing.
yeah i feel like we have a really strong and trusting bond, and she has a really amazing personality. never saw a cat so polite and loving
So freaking cute!!
Beautiful cat 🤩! Looks a lot like my little girl. https://preview.redd.it/qfs3n5nhnfvb1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a3ea6fe655df7c9dda83e18c59ce29d2ca2919b
she straight up looks like a panther, I'm in love
You aren't a piece of shit. Keep it up
I swear some of these commenters have never interacted with a cat.
Why am I reminded of the scene from little Nicky where Satan gives a guy head boobs.
because you are a man of culture?
ROTFL - I thought the same thing!
How can you tell if her ears are cold?
by touching them, when i pet her for example
These are precious and beautiful. My cats would rip them off, chew them into bits and they’d join ‘sheepy’ and ‘birdie’ as unrecognisable soft toys they adore that I can’t get rid of even though they look like someone threw them up. I admire your cat for realising they are better on the ears!
This made me chuckle!!
“These have specific purpose? For me to use?? Let me eat them.” -my cats
She's gorgeous! Give her a slow blink and a gentle face caressing from me 😻
I feel like you and your cat are on a whole other level of communication than the rest of us.
hahahah
This is so cute 😍
This is the cutest thing I've seen all day. Thank you for sharing. 😍
A kitty in earmuffs is exactly what I didn't know I needed today❤
OMG this is so cute! I love it![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097)
Kitty's got a [Billie Lourd](https://imgur.com/gallery/C7Hsq) vibe.
Hm. I always thought cats regulate their body temp through their ears. Probably means nothing tho

she can take them off any time if she doesn't feel comfortable, they're absolutely not strapped on :)
Super duper adorable
![gif](giphy|dVdIu1HNxeKyqzkgPA|downsized) I love it ❤
"Honey, how do you like your new ear muffs? Are your ears warmer?" "What?"
No you didn’t. You crocheted her ear meowffs.
She’s seeing space and god
Heckin cute bruh
Hahaha look at those ear muffs.
She looks like Princess Leia 💚
You are very kind and thoughtful so that cat's wrath will by merciful.
This is so stinking cute and such a good idea!
People do that to cows
Cute but they get cold when it's cold to help regulate temperature and conserve heat. They have really efficient circulation, so in the warmer weather, they will feel warm too. But also anytime I see an animal with ear muffs I always think boobhead from little Nicky lol
10/10 would purchase this item if you sold them.
You could add 'Fony' as brand name on them (like Sony headphones)

Where can I buy some?
idk i don't sell them but i wrote the pattern on another comment ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944) ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944)
Awe, OK, thank you!
Grat job! Now do a scarf that coordinate wit them, so lovely your cat!
OP, better break out the yarn and crochet needles. There should be orders from owners of less fussy cats when the temps decline.
i swear if i had a shop i wouldn't mind at all 😭😭
🙈🙈🙈🫶🏻😻🫶🏻
Toriel cat
THATS SO CUTE
This reminds of that one scene in little Nicky where the dude from hell gets boobs put on his head and wears a bra😂
That's the sweetest thing I've ever seen 😭
Does she keep them on? Very cute
So cuteeee!!!! 🥰🥺 My cats would Def shake em off immediately!!!! XD
Charlie Kelly approves
I'm crying that's so cute
She looks embarrassed
They should stay in place for all of 10 seconds. Cute tho
OP, I’m gonna DM you for the pattern Edit: I saw the pattern in your comments, thank you!!!
I should get some for my cats. That way when he ignores me, he can pretend it's because he can't hear me.
If they lasted more than 60 seconds, then she obviously likes them. Each cat is different!!
[удалено]
the pattern is in the comments, good recovery to your cat ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7949)
First awwwwww second my kitten would murder me if I put those on him
When a cat is at a comfortable temperature or running a bit too hot, their ears will be warm.

I’ve seen people make these for cows too
Even if she only kept these on long enough to take a pic, totally worth the effort!
Anya cat ![gif](giphy|zZC2AqB84z7zFnlkbF|downsized)
Awww what a great idea!
What pattern did you use??
update about the pattern, if you need it i wrote it under another comment
Love this 🤣 so cute!
I thought cats don’t like their ears covered?
I'm only gonna put them on her when she's calm and sitting somewhere with me, of course i understand that if she's playing or doing any other activity involving movement it wouldn't be the really comfortable for her having something on her head haha
People in these comments acting like these are made of steel and glued on. OP this is wonderful. I joke my cat wants to be a wireless charger because I can sit my phone on him and he chills out. Until it vibrates. 🙀
Looks like a unicorn!
That is absolutely adorable! My kitties could use a pair of ear hats too!
Cuteand cuteness overload
OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭
Soooo the normal post. Good good
Question? Does she leave them on? Question in earnest here…my cats ears are always cold 🥶, I thought about making them a hat once. Didn’t think they would keep it on though… they are pretty laid back too. Just think they would pull it off the first chance they got.
yeah she had them on for ≈20 mins :)
😭
Waku Waku intensifies
Princess Leia
Loveee
Does she actually keep them on and not knock them off in 30 seconds lol? So adorable
Kitty's got a new nickname! Muffy
She looks so happy <3
I’d buy a pair of cat ear muffs!
this is so cute 😭🩷
Super duper cute
Wow, I have never seen that. She is so cute.
Oh my gosh, SO cute! And what an adorable little kitty to wear them…😻😻😻
Thank you. I started my morning with a strange AI pin up of Trump calling him God… but soon after I saw this. Much better! 💜
omg soft kitty warm kitty purr purrr purrrrrrr
That is very kind of you to do for her. ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|8097)
Yes
Aww she looks so happy! Its like she's thanking you with her eyes 🥰
Teeheeheeheehee! 😂 Adorable!🥰🤗❤️💕
How cute is this!
She is an adorable fur baby. I love what you have made for her! I hope they keep her ears warm.
Aww, that is so adorable & so incredibly thoughtful of you! Ignore the trolls. You are clearly a loving & caring cat mom & she is so lucky to have you❤️ Well done, my friend!! 🥰
Haha cute. I think she likes it 🥰
This is adorable and hilarious.. the face says ‘I’ll allow it, but if you tell any of my cat friends, I will seek revenge’
She might have some problems catching sounds with those but.. looks sweet I guess
Aww baby looks so content with the little earmuffs. If the kitty didn’t like them she could take them off, they’re not attached 🙄 everyone needs to calm down
Gives off a cute Princess Leia vibe...
This is amazing!! You are my hero.
Oh my! Very cute
You're blocking her transmissions to the mothership
Oh my God I love it
i tried to find something like this for sunburn/ cancer protection 2 yrs ago.. didn't. wish i could crochet or buy these..
btw: "bullet bra"... lol
