Uses for cat fur

Opal loves to be "Furminated."  It hadn't been done for a while and so I harvested quite a crop of fur on the last occasion.  After studying the pile of furminated fur it looked like such a waste to dispose of it all so I have some suggestions for taking advantage of this "gold mine."

This is Opal, by the way (she had just walked through a spider's web):




A cuddly toy for the kiddies, perhaps?  (Not suitable for those three-years old and under due to small parts.)




 A handy-dandy toupee to cover that little "slightly-thinning" spot (especially on those cold, winter days).



A fairly impressive 'tache!  Very dignified, I think.  (However, not suitable for those with cat allergies.)


  

Another Culinary Delight

Sallie and Joel introduced me to "Avocado Toast" which, by the way, is quite delicious.  I did, however boost the deliciousness factor up a notch or two by adding sauteed mushrooms.  Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmmm.


Toast two or three slices of bread, butter them and spread with a generous layer of fresh avocado.  Now sprinkle them with fresh lemon juice and add ground black pepper (and maybe a little salt) to taste.  Top it off with mushrooms sauteed in olive oil.  You won't regret it!
