You might also try a "Russian" hat, or earwarmers, or I know! Mink belly button warmers. ;^) I'm thinking of fairly simple shapes where getting the hairs to lie in one direction aren't as critical, but you can still make something useful and ornamental, and then build on successes. Skrogg suggests a toy mouse, too. (When my cat learns how to type for herself, we'll all be in trouble.) Carolly
