Tell Your Cat to Behave Or It Might Wind Up A Purse

We have covered some strange things for SheFinds, but this one might take the cake. According to the clip above, you can now stop wondering what happens to your Persian cat’s fur when they shave it down at the vet. A creative little soul decided to spin the fur into yarn and turn it into handbags. We would go into more detail but the clip really says it all.

Does it hiss if you get it near water?  Is it self-cleaning?  Would it scratch someone if they tried to steal your wallet?  How sturdy can a bag made of your cat’s downy fur really be, never mind that it’s just icky?

Can we please (please!) offer some suggestions for those who are seeking a woven bag look without having to recycle your pet’s unwanted fur?  How about this cute Urban Outfitters Sweater Weather Hobo Bag ($30) or for some additional bank, this gorgeous Rafe New York Dark Taupe Knit Frame Shoulder Bag ($189)?  

Whatever you choose to do with your cat’s hair is totally up to you, we know.  But don’t expect us to like it.

    Creepy and wrong in so many ways. You just know this will start a not-cat-friendly trend. The ppl who lose having bags made from their pets fur are even more creepy than the lady who had the ideas and actually went through with it.

    *love* not *lose* – sorry about the typo :-)

    Elisa thats your opinion. You don’t know why some people would like their cats fur made into a purse. When a pet passes away the owner may want a part of their animal to stay with them. Atleast this is a non-killing and non-painful way to make a fur purse, compared to what the do to cows and crocs for leather, and sheep for wool.

    I realize this is a very late post but I just saw this story on TV. I think it’s a marvelous idea. I love animals and I think this is a great humane way to have a pet close to you. They make items out of Llama’s and other things why not this? I even researched how to get one but sadly I think I am too late. Hoorah to Danelle!
