I've heard it before, but now that I read it again I'm shocked again..
You know those cute furry cattoys.. the mouse like thingies? What do you think they're made of.. rabbit fur? Maybe.. what else has a coat like that? Exactly.. your cat...

"There is a STRONG possibility that these products are made from domestic dog or cat fur. In any event, Vo-Toys cannot categorically deny this, since much fur from China is mislabelled."

"it goes without saying that you shouldn't buy these toys; the very idea is too macabre for any animal lover"

"He added: "We also found a whole range of cute little cat toys which are being sold in Scotland as Christmas presents for animal lovers - but are actually made out of dog hair. "And because they label it as either fake fur or as having come from things like an Asian Jackal or Gaewolf - which don't exist - it is impossible to tell where they come from. "The best way to avoid it is to look for names like that or a label describing it as a product of various animals."
I think we need to tell our freinds and family members about this so that they are aware of what there cats are playing with......its sad really,there playing with themselves:(
