i personally dont have these ears, but something that i do when i make bjd with ears like that is to drill a hole in the bottom of the ear and add a magnet.  the magnet goes on the inside of the wig (or head depending how strong it is) and then there can be another magnet or magnetic piece of metal on the ears.  I personally would probably be trimming the ears down and adding the metal on the bottom with some super glue.  Though really tiny magnets can be a bit of a pain at times.

The cat ears are HUGE.  I did the nail trick with both her and my werewolf.  I think the trick with diminishing the size of the catgirl's ears (unless you want her to look like a fennec fox) is a big poofy wig.

I think the cat ears look funny to begin with, though.  I don't know why they felt the need to mold new ones.  What was wrong with the wolf ear mold?  I've only seen one set of cat ears I liked and that's because the person who owns them cut them down.  I'm SO tempted to do the same.  I'm afraid I'll mess it up though:(  Those cat ears are just too big.

Can't remember who has the custom cat with smaller ears.  They re-rooted her in Ghoulia's hair.  Maybe they can re-post pics, and describe how they "fixed" the ears ;)
Because wolves and cats don't have the same ears. :I
At least they don't look identical in any way, that'd be like saying "I wish they made Princess Celestia from a Newborn Cuties mold"

But cat ears are supposed to be daintier that wolves ears. Torelei and the twins have cute teeny tiny ears, not those DumboCat things the CaMs got.

I honestly see wolf ears as cat ears...I dont know the cat ears look like fennec/canid ears to me too.

Not a CAM, but the ears are.

I bought these smaller ears from here:

Comparison shot of CAM ears and custom ears:

I took a pin and heated it until it was red hot and shoved it into the ear, then pushed it into her head between rows of hair.

I'm very happy with the results.

MIght be a bit late, but I was going to add in here that I cut little holes in the head for my Wolf gal, clipped the buckle part of the ear clip off, put glue on the post and bottom of the ear, and glued it down.  True, the bottom of the ear isn't sitting flat on the head but I'm not horribly worried about it.  )semi lies...it drives me ocd side nuts but I can't change it now, lol)
