Even for self-professed cat-lovers, kitteh-addictz, or crazy old cat-ladies, this is just too much. (Well, maybe not for this one woman that commented, “I always make fur balls just like this; and thought I was alone / insane for twisting kitty fur into rings to be kept as mementos. I love this idea.” No, you are insane.)

At first glance, the jewelry deceptively looked like felt. But a closer look reveals that this woman is literally adorned in hairballs. Created by Kate Benjamin of Moderncat, this “jewelry line” was released to celebrate National Hairball Awareness day “in style.” Hmmm….something tells me there are more significant things to be aware of than what kitty is coughing up.

Perhaps Maude can take a style point for the bridesmaids’ jewelry in the cat wedding…DIY hairball chic?
