Found On The Net: Furball Necklace

What is the "thing" on the cat's neck? A necklace, of course. SF Gate website reports that the necklace is made from cat Gaia's fur by her owner Flora Davis who is an artistic crafts person.

Gaia is a flame point ragamuffin cat that sheds a lot. In her owner's words, "Gaia is a serious shedder and over time, the balls began to accumulate around the apartment: under the couch, behind the stove, in the closet, as well as in his sleeping basket. Awash in hair balls, I gathered a bowlful and placed them on top of the piano. Surprisingly, the balls had a lovely appearance that reminded me of oversized white pearls. This was my inspiration for using Gaia's "toys" in another way that would display my love for this special cat. "
