I've found a website that explains how to gather, spin, and knit cat fur into useable items. I'm seriously considering this, especially with the Maine Coon boy we have now; his fur is so thick and soft, and when I brush him I always come up with a couple combfulls of loose hair. And he'd make such a nice soft scarf... ;)
I heard (from a spinner I asked) that cat fur is exceptionally difficult to spin. I'm not surprised that someone does it, but I was warned that it wasn't something I should try as my introduction to the art of spinning.
But I'll be happy to donate grey fur to anyone skilled enough to spin it who wants to try.
Given how soft some cats are, I can only imagine how soft things knitted from cat fur might be.
