Bellator Romanus

After finishing the hat for my colleague's daughter, I made more headgear this week.  

We have a tomcat, named Ronnie, who's favorite waste of time is chasing other cats around the neighbourhood, but what he likes even more, is fighting. Ronnie isn't looking very handsome anymore as a result. He has lost a large part of his tail, because another cat bit in it and after being infected that part had to be amputated. Besides that he has scratches all the time. And because Ronnie is a white cat, you see everything: dirt, mud, dust and blood. He's a real fighter and that's why I made this Roman fighter helmet for him. It really fits his character! Looks good on him, too, as you see!

Of course I made this just to make a picture of him (and laugh at him), he can't wear this outside the house. Although it would be hilarious to see him proudly walking the streets with his helmet on.
And for the record: he didn't mind at all to wear it. He actually gave me a cat kiss, with the helmet on. Think that means: "Thanks, thanks, thanks! This is what I wanted all my life!".
