This Feline Armor Is the Cat’s Pajamas

The internet loves cats. From international superstar Grumpy Cat to Maru, the carboard-loving cat, our feline friends have become a hot commodity in the age of internet memes. Just like anything else of value, they need to be protected.
This is what artist Jeff DeBoer attempted to do when he created protective suits of armor for cats. He drew on inspiration from several countries and time periods — most notably Edo period Japan and Medieval England. Each suit has an incredible amount of details, and they can take as many as 200 hours to create.
Armored suits and packaging have the same purpose: to keep delicate things safe. If they fail, there will be dire consequences. Therefore, they need to be constructed carefully and strategically.
The suits of armor that we make at Ernest are made of cardboard and wood and bubble wrap. They don’t protect samurai cats — although Ernest President Tim Wilson has battled it out as a sumo wrestler — but they protect whatever precious items to need to arrive safely to your customers.
