That's really interesting, Beth. I woudln't think birds would want to snuggle up with cat fur! We always have birds nesting in our hanging baskets, and I never thought to put fur out there. I'm going to start doing that this year - finally, a great use for all that fur that flies around hte house!
 
Hmmmmm...I actually saved quite a bit of Latte's fur to spin and then possibly knit or crochet.
I have not finished it because...well, its just hard. :sad: But I will say it was VERY therapeutic the first 6-8 months after she left.
I have no idea when I will finish it, or what I will make with it when it is all spun. Whatever it is will mean a lot to me.
Call me crazy?!?! :lol: (I take no offense to it if you do ;-) )
 
and honestly...one of those treasure boxes and a felted kitty might make for a much better urn that the plain ol paper box and bag she is in. Cheaper than a real urn too!

I have to agree with you. That's a super cute idea for an urn. Better than the silver jars I have sitting on my shelf...
 
I have a box with Homie (GA) hair...they had to shave a goodly amount trying to treat him before we lost him...
but so far I can only bring myself to touch the outside of the box...I've yet to open it :cry:
but that along with his whiskers, and some claw remnants from his daily self pedicure
...and Sean (GA) hair and whiskers await the day I can "Pet Lady Up"
(as opposed to "Man Up") and make two very meaningful dreamcatchers :-D

Binksy and the girls are daily contributing material for theirs.

I will NOT, however...consider adding hairballs to the design :lol: :lol:

My sister had a really cool way of using tiny silver & tiger-eye beads to capture & display the whiskers...

One of my clients is a big knitter, crotcheter and she made me a wonderful winter hat. Her hat said she had included Evie's dog fur! Thank goodness she keeps a clean dog! :lol:
