Hasta La Gadget!

Some cats are small but terrible – in a good way of course. Like they say, the best surprises come in the smallest of packages, and cats fit this description to a tee: they might not be the biggest pet in your home or the biggest creature in the world, but they’ve got personalities as big as can be and they’re often not afraid to show it.

This is why the Lion Hat is so appropriate and fitting for your feline companion.

It’s basically a miniature mane that’ll transform your cat into a miniature lion. It’s probably already the king (or queen) of your home as speak, so why not make it official and crown it with a fiery mane of glory?

Of course, it’s not limited to feline use, as the Lion Hat fits most average-sized cats and dogs. So if you want, you can also dress your canine pals up to be the king of their own domains. The hat is made from synthetic fur, while the ears are crafted from plush felt.

It’s as adorable as pet hats and costumes can get, and it’s available online for $38(USD) at Nesta’s Nest on Etsy.

Cats might not be man’s best friend, but there is a segment of the population who love all things feline as well. Flipper, whom you see in the video above, is a cat who was born with a twisted spine, and that basically sucks since she is unable to walk with all fours being on the same plane. That translates to a disabled cat, one that has to drag her hind quarters each time she intends to get around. Members at the Blitz Robotic Club at Conifer High School in Colorado decided to pool their talents and time together to build Flipper a pair of wheels so that she can get around with ease.

This unique invention has given Flipper a new lease of life, and you can say that Flipper is the latest addition to the galaxy of cat videos permeating the Internet. It is hoped that doctors might be able to restore communication over Flipper’s entire spinal cord in the long term, but at least this intelligent pseudo-walker for Flipper will have to make do for the moment.
