Crafting With Cat Hair: Not Just for Crazy Cat Ladies

          Cat fanatics may get kookier on the daily, but there's is at least one new development in crazy cat lady land that could provide entertainment for the masses: using cat hair to make crafts. The new book Crafting with Cat Hair: Cute Handicrafts to Make With Your Cat , by Katsori Tsutaya, explains step-by-step ways to turn cat hair into felt that can then be used to make cat toys, small blankies, and finger puppets. The key to the method is to avoid harvesting hair by any method other than brushing (don't shave kitty)!

          By using gentle brushing techniques to remove unwanted hair that has already been shed, these crafts serve as a rudimentary form of recycling. You gain crafts, while kitty loses nothing! For those of us cat-lovers who also like to be creative and green, this activity could be a great new past time. Maybe.

The book is available in stores and online.
