Real Cat Made into a handbag
>> Wednesday, September 21, 2016
New Zealand artist Claire Third recently advertised this cat handbag online. The handbag in question is literally made from an actual cat.
The artist explained she made the cat into a bag because “he had a particularly nice face, and the rest of him was squashed”.
“I don’t kill animals for my work, it’s not as though I go around snuffing out animals thinking this’ll make a nice handbag,” she told New Zealand newspaper Stuff.
She said the cat was roadkill and stayed in her freezer for three months while she checked local noticeboards for missing pet alerts. Most of the animals used in her artwork are either roadkill, or are feral and are shot by a friend on a nearby farm.
