this PROJECT WAS A COMBINATION OF WANTING A UNIQUE CAT HOUSE AND HAVING AN OLD SATELLITE TV DOME IN MY BACK YARD. THE DOME REMINDED ME OF THE ANIME CHARACTER TOTORO WHO IS KNOWN FOR ROARING WITH A WIDE MOUTH WHICH SEEMED PERFECT FOR THE OPENING INTO THE CAT HOUSE. THE MOUTH WAS CARVED OUT OF THE DOME AND THE DOME WAS SECURED TO A PLYWOOD BASE. THE ENTIRE BODY WAS HAND WRAPPED WITH TWINE WHICH WAS INTENDED TO ACT AS A SCRATCH POST. THE INTERIOR IS ALSO WRAPPED IN TWINE. THE EYES, NOSE, AND TEETH WERE CARVED FROM SCRAP WOOD, PAINTED, AND COATED IN RESIN TO CREATE A SHINY TEXTURE. fINALLY, A PINK FLOOR MATT WAS CUT TO SHAPE TO PROVIDE SOME CUSHION AGAINST THE PLYWOOD BASE.
