Artist turns dead cat into beautiful thousand dollar handbag

Cats only live nine lives — but their desiccated corpses can live many, many more.

Seven years ago, New Zealand artist Claire Hobbs found a dead cat on a nearby road. After storing the cat in the freezer and searching through missing pets ads for three months, Hobbs decided she could put the cat's body to good use — and converted the dead kitty into a beautiful handbag. And now, she has now decided to sell it.

That is, undoubtedly, one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen.

Does it have a button to push to make it say meow?

Good luck with that.

And I thought Orville the copter kitty was a tad unseemly.

Maybe to a dog lover with a weird sense of humor

As a ladies handbag, it doesn’t stand a chance.

Did the artist make that cat’s tail the shoulder strap?

Right? I’d pay someone $1000 to remove it from my house.

I’d bet my next paycheck that Claire Hobbs is horrified about alligator bags, bear rugs and trophy mounts.

I’m trying not to wake the wife, but your comment is making it very difficult not to snort :)
