There was even a display case for the slippers when they were not being worn.

The idea proved a hit with fans, with one saying it is ‘even cuter than she expected’. 

Another wrote: ‘How do I make these cute slippers? That’s excellent!’ 

A handful questioned whether the slippers are a hotbed for fleas.

A tutorial by one TikTok user showed how the slippers were made where they used a glove brush to collect the fur and layered it into a sheet.

They then cut the piece of fur fabric to size, folded it into the shape of a slipper and secured it with glue.

Other users showed a different method, similar to felting, where the fluff was collected into a fur ball and pieces were taken off and stabbed with a needle into the shoe shape.

Some even added decorations to their kitty’s new fashion statement such as hearts, bows and one user made a sticker to look like the Nike logo.
