These fancy textures for the Morphing Collar for the HW Big Cat by PhotoGG gave me the idea that they were mousers in a palace!

That couch design is perfect to show off the nice kitty curves too!

All right, might as well try to make this a hat trick. Here is Smay's CatSaddle for the MilCat on the Hivewire Big Cat.
As I suspected, both the saddle and the boot came in almost perfectly scaled for Kitty.
Almost.

The saddle, since it has separate parts, can easily be tweaked into what looks to me like an all but perfect fit. The x-axis had to go up to 107%. And the abdomen (which is the cinch) needed its y-axis reduced to 86%. I also increased the saddle (only) portion to 115% in the z-axis, since most human figures are not sized like Gosha and Mavka. Like with the House Cat, I parented the saddle to abdomen3 and then adjusted its position with the main transform dials.

The boot is problematic. I did tweak it into a sort of acceptable fit, but then decided that for demonstration purposes I'd leave it exactly as it comes in, so the issues with it are clear. The fact is, that the fit of the boot platform and the upper straps is *perfect* exactly as it loads -- except for the section of strap below the rings where all the straps get connected. Fixing that would undoubtedly be best done in an actual modeling program, and probably wouldn't take a lot of doing. Unfortunately, there is no actual rigging to the boot itself. It's all one piece with no separate moving parts. So there's effectively nothing to get hold of for adjustment. Again, I parented it to the hip and adjusted position with the transform tools.
There are some new garments in the works for jungle kids that would really go well with this rig.

Sorry for the delay in answering Chris! (We had a very lengthy power outage! With freezing temperatures & 5 inches of new snow- so far! Brr!) But to answer your question- of course you can! I want to support HW!

Great render Flint, though I'm feeling a little sorry for that poor moth. Kitty looks like he's hungry. ;)

Great Render.
That's an outstanding set of "armor". I'm having all kinds of difficulty resisting it. Even though I can't imagine using it more than once.

I know what you mean JOdel. It's the main reason I never bought anything like that for any of my characters, male or female.
