Crafty Cat Makes Toys Out of Own Fur
Bored with standard pet store amusements, 3-year-old Toronto kitty Bruce Lee Wong has taken a DIY approach to filling up his toy box.
Using his very own fur, Wong lovingly crafts paw-made barnyard animals and balls that he can play with later. The process involves an intricate cross-stitch that makes the fur toys soft, yet durable.
The toys have become so popular among Wong’s family and friends that the enterprising cat has launched an Etsy shop. Nearly 400 units have been sold since mid February, and Lee has plans to hire an assistant in April.

Local Cat Does Not Enjoy Scary Movies

Apparently this has been going on for months, and frankly, Socks would really enjoy a good romantic comedy.
