If you've ever tried painting ball jointed dolls, you'd know that's more practical than crazy.

[(Anonymous)]

But they weren't her cats...

[dinogrrl]

I've sent my snake's sheds to people using them for art projects. My sister has a big collection of feathers from an aunt who owns parrots. She uses them in costumes and mixed media pieces. I have a cat who sheds his whiskers a lot, if someone asked me for them to make brushes with I'd definitely save them.

They're free and often very pretty and useful materials! Better than just throwing them away.

[(Anonymous)]

No, that's cool if you collect them from a pet owner that gives them to you, but to lure your neighbor's cats over to do that? A liiiiiittle weird, just saying.

[dinogrrl]

I think a lot of the discussion in this thread could have been cut short if that had been included in the original comment :p. I don't keep in the Lackey loop so I hadn't heard this.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'll admit fault there.

[dinogrrl]

*patpat* s'all good, it got figured out in the end.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't own a cat when I did something similar for my painting either. I asked a friend if they happened to come across one from her cats, could she put it aside for me (in case you don't know, it's virtually impossible to by commercial or synthetic brushes that are thin enough for some of the finer details of painting without spending the sort of cash I'd call way crazier than making use of natural resources - making brushes from things like cat whiskers isn't unusual in the painting/crafting world).

As long as she wasn't going around kidnapping cats and plucking their whiskers out then I don't see the issue.

[(Anonymous)]

She would lure her neighbors cats over. Like I said, it's all cool if the owner knows what's up, but....

[(Anonymous)]

Then your issue is with her alledged underhand behavior.

Your original comment makes it seem that you have some issue with the fact that she made brushes, which, as several people have told you (and which a quick google would show) isn't the creepy and unusual practice you seem to think it is.

[(Anonymous)]

Oops. No, I guess I should have mentioned the weird luring part. Nah, making brushes with cat whiskers is fine (I own bjds so I know how hard they can be to paint), but at least ask permission, you know?

[(Anonymous)]

Hahahaha. How did she get the whiskers, then?

[(Anonymous)]

She would stroke the cat's face until the whiskers came out.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, that doesn't seem so terrible. I had visions of her running at them with tweezers or something.

[(Anonymous)]

you run at a cat with tweezers, you're gonna get a good claw in the face.
