In the comments Anne asked if I had made anything with Bosco's fur. His fur was really slippery and hard to spin but I did make a little bell with just his fur. It is packed away with the Christmas ornaments. I did once blend his fur with my former Persian cat Pumpkin's fur to make a combo yarn. I just brushed their fur, carded it together randomly, and spun it on a spindle. I liked how it turned out and made myself a simple stockinette cat fur scarf. Pumpkin hated our other cats so this scarf was about as close as they ever got.



And here are the donors - a young photo of Bosco (sniff).




And the diva of all cats, Pumpkin. I made some fun fold-over cuffed mittens with just her fur.
