My girlfriend loves felted things. Little food made out of felt. Bunnies, etc. And I am pretty sure even she would find these weird.

I clicked the second link first and for a moment thought it was a real kitten. I really messed up kitten.

Wow, not what I was expecting, in a good way. I was imagining a weird, 2D depiction more akin to this felt scene, not so realistic.

Well, at least they're not sticking REAL cats into scanners this time.

amazing how new born kittens look like something else. we were given two brother kittens several months ago. at 6 weeks, one reminded my wife that this almost competely black covered tabby kitten looked like a teddy bear. so, he runs around our home and answers to TEDDY, as in teddy bear. 3 months later, he dosen't remind me of any bears, but the wife's naming process is number one, and she left me to name the second brother, i chose TIGG ER (ti double grrr r), Great, we have a TEDDY and a TIGGER running around chasing each other to wrestle until one gets tired or hurt.

This walks the thin line between cold-n-creepy and warm-n-fuzzy.

I keep thinking about how felt is made from animal fur when I see these.

Ok, so wet felt kittens are invariably creepy. Yikes.

as my Brasilian roommate once squealed upon viewing newborn kittens, "they lookin' like a little rat!"
