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!
