Sushi Cats – Amigurumi #52

I asked on my Facebook page, and you answered! You guys really seem to like cats, and food. the lucky winner of the plush suggestion is…..

Cat Sushi!

Or are they Sushi Cats? Either way, these cute little guys exist. Two versions exist: salmon Nigiri (left) and Tamago. Tamago was created first, as evidenced by his eerie eyes and failed cross-stitched mouth. I’ll admit, I’m not one to cross-stitch often.

They have little tails, too!

Lookit the tails!

It is important to keep your sushi cats fed and happy. They are social creatures and thrive best when kept with at least one other friend. Put them on a pizza trivet, and you’ve got sushi pizza!

Perhaps I’ll stick a key ring on these guys and make them into keychains. They could also be made into larger pillows, like the Pusheen I made for Toni. (Oh no, I never blogged about that…)

Nofie and Sootsie didn’t seem particularly interested in these cat sushis. I blame the abundance of boxes and wrapping paper. Although, I did get Nofie to paw the tamago around a strip of wrapping paper. Both of them really liked the No-Face and soot sprite plushies. Maybe a little too much. The poor plushies don’t quite look like themselves anymore. ( ;w; )

For cat toys, it is best to use cotton yarn, so as to withstand the gnawing and licking. To give plushies a fuzzy texture, I use a pet brush that I specifically bought for this purpose. (For those concerned about allergens and cross-contamination) These brushes mimic a cat’s naturally coarse tongue, resulting in soft, mat-free fur. No-Face and the sootsprite plush got naturally brushed. XP Nigiri’s salmon piece is made from cotton yarn, as is Tamago’s seaweed. I think these cat sushis made from 100% cotton would make nice cat toys.

As you may recall, the shop is opening soon! The Torchic keychains and Popplio will be for sale, and comissions will be open! Leave your suggestions and let’s see how much more plush we can make this world!
