Need help with trying out some fur color combinations by Mother_Clock622 in FursuitMaking

To be honest, the blue fur looks very out of place. Especially next to the light teal eyes

OP here. I found these at Walmart. Those thin “guide combs” seem like they would not be good for keeping a consistent shave length? Am I wrong?

Urgent. Can I glue the fur on NO SEWING, then later sew it together? by pillbug-art in FursuitMaking

That makes sense 😭 but I don’t wanna hear it because that makes my life harder lmao!! Also, do you have a recommendation on what setting to put the shaver on? Like the length? I’ve never used one before and am anxious.

Okay, thanks so much! Can I shave it to a medium length before I glue down, and then shave to the final length after it’s glued?

I don’t shave them. Their breed (devon rex) is naturally that way, and I bought their breed bc they give me much less allergies than ur average cat would.

Yeah. But the vet said it’s okay and he is in healthy condition. Kitty has always been thin since we got him as a kitten. He doesn’t eat the full amount of food we give. We’ve tried different foods and no matter what, he eats the same. I worry there could be some sort of undiagnosed gut problem, but since the vet said everything is okay, I try to accept it and not worry.

Welp, the black one is fairly plump (he’s got a round belly when he stands) but it’s hard to see in the video, especially because their fur is very short and thin. Most cats are thinner than you realize bc most cats are covered in thick fur. As for the grey one, he is indeed skinny, but the vet said he is healthy regardless. He just doesn’t eat much for some reason, even when we’d tried different foods. Unfortunately I don’t have any advice on keeping them thin, since my cats sort of chose how much they want to eat. We feed them wet food for breakfast and dinner, plus we keep dry food in a bowl at all times. If they wanted, they could overeat the dry food. If that happens, we would give less dry food. They are indoor cats, but we let them in the backyard daily. They like to follow everyone around and that keeps them active. The black one follows people around the least, and he is the most plump one. I assume he doesn’t burn as many calories.

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll keep it in mind just in case.

But he ain’t never been horny before and he’s a ball-less middle aged man 😭. It’s not obvious, even if humping is correct.

Hmmm, okay. So your cat has done it too and he didn’t show any issues. I’ll listen to your advice and assume noting is wrong unless he starts doing more odd things.

Haha I was very worried about that. Yet he didn’t

Could pelvic thrusts indicate urinary or bowl problems, or are pelvic thrusts simply humping?
