pick up pico...

Say hello to a Pico cat.

If you want this little guy to go anywhere you have to carry him around...

That's because he has no legs!

But before you get all upset, you need to understand that he is not a real cat, he is a handbag 

Seriously a handbag.

I have posted a lot of mad cat bags on here over the years but I have never seen anything as realistic as this...

These cat hand bags are painstakingly crafted by Pico, a Japanese housewife who loves cats. The difficulty in making these bags means that they often aren’t available, and when they are, they’re only sold on Yahoo! Auction Japan. This little guy sold for around $700.

Starting out with plush imitations Pico then spends endless patient houts airbrushing them to look hyper realistic. Because they take so long you never know when the next one is going to be finished. The only way to know is to follow her on twitter @picopocoo8 to find out when the next one will be available...
