Crafting with Cat Hair

Your cat’s fur has a second career, and apparently it’s in handicrafts. Crafting with Cat Hair: Cute Handicrafts to Make with Your Cat is a book built around that very specific idea: using feline hair for arts and crafts instead of treating it as something to discard. The premise alone makes a strong case for giving it to a crafty cat person.

We like this as a gift for someone whose affection for their cat already spills into their hobbies. It takes the familiar business of living with a furry animal and gives it a wonderfully odd creative angle. A cat-themed mug is one thing; a book about making things with the cat’s actual hair is a much more personal commitment to the bit.

If that idea makes you curious rather than squeamish, this book speaks your language.
