People often ask me:
Can I spin my cat’s fur?
And the answer is: That all depends….
If your cat has fur that is long and silky, and he or she
lives, L O V E S, pleads to be groomed daily….
and you get a handful of soft fine fluff each time you groom him or her…..
Note: This is what our big boy is depositing in the grooming brush…. lovely when gathered in the brush,
but truly horrible if fished out of your teacup…..
Then, the answer to the ‘Can I spin my kitty’s fur’ is:
Y E S !
This is one large cat. That’s a 6 inch long spindle.
What will I do with his yarn? Spool knit, weave, crochet or knit with it. Yarn is yarn, no matter where it came from!

I was wondering why he became our cat, I think I’m starting to see why he puts up with us! Brushing him will be come a nightly activity for me now, so we can spin this fur.
Actually, m’darlin’, I think he came into our lives to teach us about patience, kindness, generosity, compassion and trust.
But the spinning part is mighty good, too…. that and the great cuddles this big old kitty loves to share! LOL
