I have a print of his plans for a cat-rocketeer suit on the wall behind me. Love the detail and whimsy his work when you see it in person.

he has put one of his cats inside and has “the scars to prove it.”
This is because you should not put your cat inside. Cat armor is only for the war cats ridden by battle hamsters when jousting for the paws of fair hamster princess, so unless you have a tamed cat and are a gerbil squire you should be leaving it to the professionals.

The original post is from 13 years ago (time, man), and it looks like all of the links have either rotted or were malformed at the time. So I vote keep.

I have no idea how this person got a cat wedged in that armor, but I do know why and am sort of sad there are no pics.

This needs to be a Skyrim mod. Who am I kidding, it probably already is.

We're cats of the Round Table
We pounce whenever we're able,
We claw the chairs and take on airs
With fur both white and sable
We're coddled here in Camelot,
We purr from the diaphragm a lot.

Day 1. I have immediately closed any windows and deleted my history.
...later....
Day 23. I have been barricaded in the attic for 5 days now. The cats are armored and weaponized. There is no hope.

We have barred the gates, but can not hold them for long. We cannot get out. They have taken the kibble and the Second Hall. Frár and Lóni and Náli fell there. The pool is up to the wall at the garage door. The Watcher in the Water took Óin. We cannot get out. The end comes. Drums, meows in the deep. They are coming.

So, in a few hundred years, when human civilization slowly begins to rebuild after the Great Nuclear Winter begins to subside, and the Morlocks or Eloi or Amish or whoever is left begins to dig in the rubble for useful artifacts from the early 21st Century, they will discover these statuettes and marvel at just how bad it must have been when mankind began its feverish descent into war and madness.
