It probably wouldn’t be too hard to take an animal ear headband and transplant the ears to the hat.

I dont wear hats generally, but I got it into my head a few months ago that a cool hat to wear, for my weirdo taste in fashion, would be that style of cap, but with cat/animal ears integrated into it. Tried looking for one because I figured with the internet being what it is it surely must be out there, but no, couldn’t find it. Only could find a different style of cap done up that way that I don’t think looks nearly as nice as the style here.

Would take some sewing knowledge I’d figure, especially to make it structurally work so that they stand up, and finding ears the same material as the hat so that they look like they fit might be difficult

Could probably do it with some gorilla glue or similar type of adhesive if you don’t have sewing skills.

Minor sewing and either stiff cardboard or metal wire is really all you need. Cut some triangular shapes in the cardboard or bend the wire to the shape you want, wrap it with faux fur fabric, and sew it up then to the hat. Or use fabric glue to glue it to the hat.

Hadn’t considered that you can just glue fabric together, I suppose that might be something to try if I start feeling crafty at some point. As for matching the hat material, it’s just what I’m picturing in my head, not convincing ears but just some ear shaped stylized part of the hat, like from that same grey zigzag patterned material seen here for example, whatever that’s called.

Why would the cat ears need to match the hat? Shirley they should match your hair?

I don’t mean like to give the illusion of being real ears, just as a stylistic element. And for whatever reason, Id like ones that look like they fit as part of the hat, like maybe that same grey patterned material but with some pink triangles in the front to suggest the inner part without going too detailed

I am a hat person, and as a furry I have also looked for hats with ears on them, and while I just want a basic ball cap, finding ones with animal ears that also look good is hard enough that I want to just go get the materials and make my own ears on my own hat that I already wear. Unfortunately I didn’t think about this until after Joann’s closed down 😮💨

As a second option, I would totally wear the Litterbox comics “indoor cat” ballcap lol

Turn a flat cap into a cat flap?
