Anyway, I made Fidget out of pipecleaners (I have a video tutorial here) yesterday as I don't like the fact that cats are so poorly represented on my yard when in reality I prefer them to dogs! XD I've always intended David to have a cat and as he spends most of his time on the yard, it made sense to bring his cat with him so he wouldn't get lonely back at the flat. (plus, a good mouser is always a bonus at a busy yard!)
He's just pipecleaners with leather ears, seed-bead eyes and painted on markings but incredibly flexible and can be posed into literally every feline position you could think of! (as the following photos should prove :P)
He can pose...
...curl around people's legs...
...be affectionate...
...annoying...
...adorable...
...athletic...
...not so athletic... XD
...curious...
...stupid...
...and err...
...errrrrr...
...offputting. XD
Size isn't everything either and Fidge can definitely stick up for himself, even if his opponent isn't really interested in sparring with him.
(^Blue merle dog there is another pipecleaner creation, as yet unnamed and belonging to one of the EAE liveries, though I'm still not entirely sure who! XD)
With great flexibility comes great err...stretchability.
Like
'I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU'
'NOMS NAO PLZ!'
'Yaaaaaaaaay, food!'
'...'
'Is that it?'
*several facepalms from David later...*
But for all his faults and quirks, David wouldn't part with him for the world. :)

So yeah, here's hoping this'll signal a return to more regular blogging! :D I rather fancy making another few moggies for the yard so I'll stick some photos up as and when I get round to it. Also, lol, just realised that my last post was about 'Widget' the Gryphon and this is Fidget the cat. COINCIDENCE?!..err..yes. XD
