So, since you don't have raccoons you skin cats instead? :) Hmm, instead
of a coon skin hat you wear cat skin hats? I wouldn't think that cat
hair would hold up as well as other fur bearing animals used in that
fashion. Cat's have such soft hair I would think it would fall out or
rub off rather soon and you'd end up with just a skin hat, without fur.
