We all love our cats, but a wool artist in Japan, named Housetsu Sato, wants you to be the cat. Last year he made a two-meter tall cat for a school festival, but he found that students had a lot of fun putting the cat’s head and walking around. That inspired him to start making wearable cat heads for people who want to cosplay as cat-headed human hybrids.

The heads are made of wool and look incredibly realistic if you don’t consider how big they are, and the eyes look like they’re following you wherever you go. All the heads are individually handmade, and the short-haired cat heads can be completed within a month. You can even get a head of your own cat made if you send the artist a photo.

The heads don’t come cheap, however. They sell for 648,000 yen, which is about $6,220 US dollars. You can purchase them online from the Japanese site Dwango. The cost is pretty steep, but can you really put a price on walking around with a giant cat head and creeping out everyone around you?
