What’s the worst that could happen, do you think?

I’ve actually widened a hat much like this one by heavily wetting it, fitting it on a larger, head-shaped object, then letting it dry. Even permanently turned up one of the side-brims to create a “slouch hat” / “digger hat” look.

Worked great and no complaints, but I’m also curious what might have gone wrong…

Explain?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work.

For example, I’ve had fairly good success upon a range of animal companions going back to early childhood, but a few years ago, I made the mistake of taking on a ‘problem cat’ from a family friend.

Such a beautiful creature, but she just couldn’t… settle down, I guess are the words. Now me, living with a terminal disease is already hard, but unfortunately, that rascal just turned it up to ‘11,’ bless her lil heart. So in the end, I had to donate her to a local no-kill shelter. Not my finest moment, but the lack of sleep was pretty-much the lynchpin, for me.

I love cats, but I just… haha, kinda got spooked hard by that experience.

Now imagine your life without the luxury of a pampered, beloved floof by your side?
