Having your male cat play with “his very own personalize balls” is just cruel and unusual. Chopping them off is bad enough, but rubbing his face in it is even worse.
“By the way, I am not allergic to cat hair, thank goodness!” However, due to a recent court ruling, I’m required to carry at least 10 EpiPens with me for strangers who seem to choking on their own tongues when they meet me.
She didn’t discover any process. Instead it is a half-ass technique for wet felting. And I spend too much damn time vacuuming up cat hair to want to drop a grand on your cat’s hair balls.
I know they say the on etsy the story sells, but if you story is five lengthy paragraphs and includes references to collected used used cat hair balls from under your stove to use as supplies…maybe not so much.

1. Gsia is the name of a goddess, and one of my ex-coven mates (who likes her balls on the large side, I think), and also of the Earthican eco-system (i.e. “mother nature”). I am against gender-stereotyping, but this is… I don’t know.
2. I also ball up wads of cat hair when I clean out the cat brush. The wads shortly go into the trash, otherwies one of the cats will eat it and then puke it up later, usually in one of my shoes.
3. Possibly regetsy-bait (especially with the pricetag)?
Just what I’ve been looking for! A necklace that will make my eyes water and go all bloodshot!
seriously, I have a Springer Spaniel who leaves hairballs all over the house…oddly enough, I do not feel the urge to make a necklace with them, or toys for her amusement. I feel like “why the hell did I insist on the dog who sheds like no tomorrow?!?!?”
I’m torn…this is utterly silly. But the cat is beautiful. And Ragdolls do have incredibly soft fur.
And I have a ziploc bag full of hair brushed out of my part-Persian. I was collecting it for a laugh, there was so much. And then she died. So guess who’s hanging on to that bag of cat hair?
yes, yes allright,Lady you win. your cat is simply the cutest smartest sweetest most precious thing to ever barf up a half eaten rodent.
nothing in the world is so important as your darling ikle piddy.
holy relics of him are in fact entirely warranted
…. he may in fact be the Meowssiah!
now will you please go away and bother someone else? take your hair lumps and bucket full of crazy with you!
….and no, you may not borrow my scissors!

Your flame-point ragdoll Gaia has filed a request with our firm that you change his name to Gaius forthwith, or he’s going to start leaving ‘trophies’ on your bedroom pillow.

I understand the necklace for sale is intended for a cat of a lucky buyer? But if they already have a cat why spend $1000…
If it’s intended for a person… this lady should read etsy forums more where people scream “do not model your jewellery/hats etc on a life person, dead person, or animal!”
I find it amusing that Gaia had to model his own necklace. You would thing that since she is finding it soooo hard to part with she would want to model it herself.
I don’t need to point out that Gaia is only a female’s name. She is the ancient Greek earth goddess, MOTHER earth. There’s no getting around that one. Artemis as a male cat’s name I’d let by, but not Gaia for fucks sake.
Maybe we can start a kitty cast-off trend….my cat pukes every other day, and I’m sure I could smoosh it into some ball-like shape. I hear cat shit is also a good craft medium, but I haven’t tested that one yet.
To the seller: I think you should add some accent colors. I cut a few mats off my brown-haired dachshund last night. I’ll sell them to you for $25/piece. Convo me.
Trying to sell your cat’s hairballs for $1000. Boy, this seller really thinks the rest of the world is stupid. I’d say, if the rest of the world disagrees with you, perhaps you are wrong…
December 17, 2010 at 1:33 pm
My cat gives me hairballs for free. I don’t know why I would want to pay $1k for someone else’s cat’s hairballs…..
December 17, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Who wants to be the first to give their pussy a pearl necklace?

December 17, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Shhhhh….you had me at “How can I sell this?…
Really, how can you sell this?
If I wanted a stranger to puff wet breath on my hairy balls, I’d go to $1 kamikaze night at the gay bar down the street.
December 17, 2010 at 1:48 pm
At that price, you’ll surely get to keep them forever.
December 17, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Hmmmm… if cat hairballs go for a thousand bucks, imagine how much human hair would go for!
And, to think, I almost quit my job sweeping up at the barber shop. Cha-CHING!!!!
December 17, 2010 at 1:59 pm
The cat’s a boy, his name is Gaia and he loves his necklace? Lady, instead of crafting hairball jewelry, play the poor cat some show tunes.
December 17, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Hummm… Not only do we get to play with the cats balls but we also get the grime from under her couch and stove… TOTALLY FREE!
December 17, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Hey look; free shipping!
What a deal indeed!

I prefer my allergic reactions to be from fresh cat hair, thank you.
December 17, 2010 at 2:21 pm
just looking at that necklace makes me itchy.

And remember, spay or neuter your owners. Because people like this don’t need to be part of the breeding pool.

I’m pretty sure Gaia would sacrifice just about any of his balls to get this lady to shut up for five minutes.
December 17, 2010 at 2:27 pm
And to think, I spend so much time trying to get rid of our cat’s hair… I’m clearly a fool for not monetizing it.
December 17, 2010 at 2:30 pm
If I had a crystal ball and were the betting kind, I’d wager that this listing is the first of many steps towards kidnapping Justin Bieber.
December 17, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Mark my words, I will NEVER own a necklace that may have fleas. And neither will any other sane person.
December 17, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Detachable cat goiters?
December 17, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Wow! Free shipping! That seals the deal.
December 17, 2010 at 2:32 pm
HOLY CRAP! At last, a way to put my cats to work! Get ready to earn your keep, furballs.
December 17, 2010 at 2:33 pm
What a beautiful cat.
The lady is a whack-a-doodle, though.
December 17, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Poor male kitty named after a female goddess. Why not Guy-Uh?
December 17, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I’ve got three cats. Wow… I’m sitting beside a gold mine here!!! I think one of my cats can read as she’s looking awfully scared now.
December 17, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Right. Just what I need. More freakin’ cat-hair on my clothes. No thanks. Using up one lint roller a day is my limit.
However, should she ever run short of raw material I have a very fluffy ragdoll that sheds like a sonofabitch.
December 17, 2010 at 2:47 pm
and Gaia was the prettiest prettiest cat at the ball!
December 17, 2010 at 2:52 pm
I think she has the definitions of “priceless” and “worthless” mixed up.
December 17, 2010 at 2:56 pm
she seems like the kind of lady who would name her toes. (o.O)
December 17, 2010 at 2:56 pm
“the fur has a salmon tinge” sounds like Gala needs an after dinner bath or has been eating too much salmon
December 17, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Just because you spent a mint on your cat, does not mean that the flotsam that results from him is worth the same amount.
Secondly, anyone else expect poor Gaia to suddenly break into ‘Memories’ after reading her description of him?
December 17, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Mmmmm… Wet breath and cat fluff…

Looks like more than just the balls of one cat, let me tell you.
Really cute cat, to the listing’s credit. Very pretty.
December 17, 2010 at 4:02 pm
By the by, you can’t name a male cat ‘Gay-uh’ and not expect it to end up playing with balls.

December 17, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Wow all I can say stop playing with your pussy cats balls and find another hobby, theres been frightfully far too much time & thought gone into this !
December 17, 2010 at 5:32 pm
All that trouble, when she already said – just leave the cat and its fur will mat. Get some scissors and instant balls/beads/whatever.
Oh wait – I get it. That would negate Etsy’s “handcrafted” rule.
December 17, 2010 at 5:46 pm
@Buzzkill-I’m with you. Poor kitty.
Not only is this waaaaaay over priced, I’m thinking kitty isn’t too happy about this. And cats have a funny way of showing how displeased they are………..

I’m more alarmed that she considered putting cat hair in the compost than that she wants to sell it.

I will never understand you wonderful freaks. Everytime I think, “oh crap, I’m sure that just offended everyone” – THATS the comment you like.
December 18, 2010 at 12:05 am
How are they so white and soft? All my cat manages to leave is clotted, matted, dry fur that looks like tobacco that came out of somebody’s mouth.
December 18, 2010 at 12:12 am
In my opinion, this is no different than wearing lamb’s wool.
December 18, 2010 at 1:41 am
See? This proves my point! I say I love you, and you DON’T like that.

$1,000 for a couple of mouldy cat-hair balls?? Excuse while I go scream at the inhumanity.
December 18, 2010 at 9:00 am
When someone says “my cat left me some furballs” my first thought is that it came out of their mouths.
December 18, 2010 at 9:19 am
@ #58
And I notice it is reasonably priced!
December 18, 2010 at 12:28 pm
If it’s “priceless” then why is it listed for sale, and at $1,000? I’m just saying…
December 18, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Why can’t she groom her cat and use the fur to make yarn to knit cat cozies like the rest of us crafty crazy cat ladies?
