The cat in the hat

It's Karneval. I was planning to dress as a Mexican and had my costume ready, but work got in the way. But the hat got used nevertheless...

To give you an idea of size (both of the hat and the cat), here is another one with my mobile phone on it...

And yes, I know the carpet is ugly. It has been replaced by a nice round dark red one, that was birthday present from my parents. Unfortunately, Mr Cat things it is his new horizontal scratching post. I fear it won't grow old. Sorry, Mum and Dad!
