That's what I thought too, but after a little google searching yes it is real. There is a market for cat fur blankets in Switzerland and it's one of the only European countries where killing feral cats and using there fur is still legal.
But apparently, they've been taking house pets as well. From the article I linked earlier one family had all three of their cats disappear in one day.

| What about bees? Is it still ok to catch them for shearing? (I've heard they freeze them first; that way you can pinch their backs and the whole fur just slips right off. An hour or so later they wake up and fly much faster.)
Is this thread for real?  | |
