Like any devoted catlady, I think my kitty is the cutest creature in the entire world and all I really want out of life is to bask in her cuteness. To that end, I had the idea a little while back to make a crochet version of Miss Fifi. (I know that the crafty catladies out there will totally understand this, right?) I just thought it would be funny, but it turns out that Fifi was not amused by her yarny doppleganger. Apparently this apartment ain’t big enough for two smooshy kitties. Who knew?
And, well, crochet Fifi was not too fond of her flesh-and-fur counterpart, either. Sigh.
Seriously you guys, I made this amigurumi Fifi for I Love Yarn Day back in the fall, and all I was really hoping to do was get a cute picture of real Fifi and crochet Fifi together. But real Fifi took one look at crochet Fifi and she did not like what she saw. She stalked crochet Fifi from behind for quite a while, and then attacked her over and over, with particular attention to her tail. It was the funniest thing ever. I knew Fifi liked being an only cat, but this was a more violent reaction than I anticipated!
Point taken, Fifi! We will not be getting another kitty anytime soon, I promise.
But! If you want to make your own crochet Fifi, I have a free pattern for you: Click here to download the free pattern to crochet your own Amigurumi Fifi!
(And PS, if you’re looking for safety eyes like the ones I used, a great place to buy them is Etsy shop 6060.)
Enjoy! xoxo, Brett & Fifi

Those photos are priceless! And I love the final angry eyebrows.
Fantastic series of photos! I could hear the dramatic, violin-laced, tension building music playing in my head as Fifi stalked the ami kitty. The eyebrows in the last few pics are perfect, too! Now, I’m waiting for the series entitled “Crochet Fifi Gets Her Revenge.”
As a fellow crafty catlady, I find this post HILARIOUS. Soooo good.
Well super cute. Loved the attack photo especially :)
I literally laughed out loud at these photos!!!!!! Fifi is hilarious!
oh my gosh that is fantastic! ha! ha!!! FiFi…… we got the message LOUD & CLEAR! HA!
Awesome. Glad to see Fifi won’t let a silly crochet version of herself take over her pad. Great pictures, as always!
Oh! That was hilarious! I needed a good laugh today, thank you!
The 8th photo down had me rolling! Ms. Fifi just has that WTF?!?! look on!
Thanks for sharing! …and no, I don’t think it would be a good idea to get another “real” cat anytime soon.
These are hysterical– the tail attack is killing me!
i also have a fluffy peak-nose Persian with amber eyes! i am going to crochet a doppelganger and see how he reacts ;)
