Artist's Comments

I was asked to show more cat hair sculptures, so I have! :D The toothpick in the image is for size comparison.

The top one is a sculpture I made for my mom for her birthday a few years ago. The cat is splayed out because he's tired of puking - my cat Furby (who generously donates his hair ;)) has a notoriously weak stomach. It's the product of an inside joke. The eyes are googly eyes and the nose is a carved pink eraser.

The second one my mom made for my birthday in 2007. She sculpted a cat puking a hairball as a gift - yet another inside joke. She went another step by adding sculpey to the figure. The spiral carpet, nose, and eyes are sculpey and the whiskers are cut fishing line.

The third is my favorite - the cat hair peep. It's an easter gift my mom made me in 2007. We hate those sugary treats so this happened...the feet, beak, and eyes are sculpey. This particular sculpture is made extremely well. The fur is compacted so tight it's hard as a rock! :D

:nod: Yes it's sanitary. Our cats are very clean and don't have dirt or germs on them. In fact, clay and cat hair have similar sanitary issues. Clay can create dust, cat hair can spread the fur, clay is messy to the hands, the glue used for cat hair can do the same. The only difference is that cat hair can't be inhaled as easily. I probably eat enough cat hair it wouldn't bother me anyway. ;)

I understand the theory of evolution.
I also understand, that at a certain point in human evolution, something went horribly horribly wrong.
