If you worry about safety of your pet specifically cat or mouse you should definetely check this awesome collection of armour for animals. This collection was created by Canadian artist Jeff de Boer and consist of armour for gladiators, medieval knights and even Samurais. Creation of each armour for a mouse takes from 10 to 40 hours, while armour for cats demands bigger efforts: from 50 to 100 hours. Made out from silver, bronze and wood these art works cost $500-2,000. For protectors of animals we’re glad to notice that Jeff didn’t experiment with mices, but his attempt to dress a cat in a knightly armour has ended with scratches and scars. Hope you’ll like it!

OMFG, Brother we must band together this is serious
ok, here is my plan.
We all donate money to buy like a thousand of these cat armor suits, and we go to like scotland or ireland and film an epic cat battle scene.
Imagine if you will one cat army sitting before a large hill waiting in formation banners whipping in the wind, and then the sound on armor comes, cats look to the top of the hill and there marches the opposing army over the hill in formation, we would have to cgi the battle. This would be so epic.
We could get the cats from animal shelters and set them free afterwards.

Except cats don’t give a shit and there would just be ball licking and napping instead of any epic battles.

You forgot something important: cats not giving a shit.
What you’ll film is a bunch of cats not giving a shit while wearing armor.

I think a bunch of cats not giving a shit whilst wearing armour would make a brilliant film.

Oh, if I know cats, they’d give a shit… there would be hissing and thrashing and yowling and trying to back out of it and trying to run away from it and absolutely mauling any human who dared come near… No, the epic battle would be beforehand, trying to put the armor on the cats!

This stuff is truly amazing!!! I’ve seen museum-quality reproduction armour up cloise, and this looks just as good. Any pics of a cat (or mouse) wearing it? For what purpose was it made (othfr than its intrinsic beauty)?

Gorgeous metalwork! If I could get my rats to wear something like this, they could LARP Mouse Guard.  And yeah, the epic cat battle would be…epic!
