I had to do a few adjustments to the dog pattern - namely the shortening of the legs (sleeves?), the narrowing of same & taking a bit out of the hood. Otherwise the small size fits the Burmeser nicely. I made a toile from white interlock and she looked a bit like the pope or with the hood up, some nasty klan member. She looks much nicer in the correct fabric which is a zebra stripe polar fleece. I can see some more projects in this since I have 2.2 metres & only used about 50cm for this one!
Anyway, after much hissing, clawing & biting here is the result.
That's my husband holding her. After he put her down, she just stood in the position below for ages. I'm not sure what she was doing but when she did start walking, it was sooo funny. OMG..I wish I had a video. Anyway, she looks cute in it. Not sure what the other cats think.

OMG, Alison, that's hilarious! I hope your poor cat finds some relief from the cold. LOL.
that is one unhappy face... I can just imagine the steps when she started walking - like walking on hot coals.
I was just looking at my cat thinking.... hmmm.... I think I would lose an eye if I tried to put a jumper on her.
heck, when I think of the blood drawn helping my mum give her cat a worming tablet, I cannot imagine what trying to put a fleece jacket on him would do!!! you are a brave lady!
still laughing...
I so wish I was there to see you put your cat in the jacket, it must have been the funniest sight ever!
Oh that face, you are in trouble!!!
[wiping tears from my eyes]
Oh the indignities our dear cats have to put up with...
That outfit is hilarious...just hilarious!
That is too funny! When I put the leash on my cat, it's the same thing - he just stands frozen, lol. Your kitty is cute, cute, cute!
