I especially like it when you turn on the ceiling fan and you make fur snow! It just falls from the sky! I am partial to the ones that collect in the corners and when you walk by they become little tumbleweeds just rolling across the floor. *sigh*

RFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an old collection of beanie babies from when they were "in". I also collect anything cats, especially anything I can find with an aby on it. I also collect whiskers, I have a whisker box with tons of whiskers in it. I really should take a picture of it sometime...

Fountain pens (new and vintage), decks of tarot cards, and strange little wind-up toys (Nunzilla, the walking brain, and the rolling sushi are my favorites).

I collect frogs - i've got a pretty impressive collection, from beautiful glass ones and rare ones to stuffed animals. I want to start collecting cats though. I just never thought to.

If you mean the whiskers your cat sheds, I do the same thing!! Whenever I see one I pick it up and put it in a toothpick holder thingy. I also do the same with their claws, but they go in a little box . . . wonder what my problem is?!

My husband and I were avid old toy collectors; everything from Fisher Price wooden pull toys to rubber sqeaky toys to 60's figural vinyl night lights to vinyl face stuffed animals from the 50's and 60's. Going to toy shows, yard sales and antique/flea markets was our focus on the weekends. If you are a collector it is so easy to get carried away on eBay because anything and everything is available there. We have gotten away from that hobby in part due to the shrinking space in our home! Our cats have taken over, and that is what is important to us.

My passive collections include Jem (1980's) and Furga Italian dolls, old ceramic lamb planters/figurines and Keane-style (sixties era) Big Eye prints, primarily of cats and dogs, but also have some children.

Within the past several years, if it not a cat, or cat related, I'm uninterested!

Yep that's what I meant! Gee I wonder what's wrong with me, too

OMG

now that you've mentioned it, I do collect cat whiskers, too...I keep them in a fine bone china box...I never told anyone about it, because most people wouldn't understand...

This is really funny!!!

Are there even more cat whiskers collectors out there?!
