Excuse me I said this was not fur because it is not from an animal so it is proably FAUX, my sister bought it for me
because she thought it was colder than usual in San Diego and I should wear it Christmas Eve I did not want to because I thought it looked like Animal fur but I put it on for the pic...So that does not mean I was wearing a Trapped fur animal. Just wait I am working on a better pic with Zorro no red eyes no fur accept Zorro and a message about fur from Zorro..I will have the chance to reedem myself :-)

[Admin Moderator]

oops, typo, and fixed. sorry about that

[missyme]

I have it in my hand right now and this is the TRUTH there is no label really, since I never have held a dead furry animal only ones that are alive I cannot tell you what this feels like only that it is furry it is to keep your head and I guess your ears warm and it is not from a animal. I beleive it is FAUX because it is from my sister.

So haven't you felt FAUX and doesn't it feel different from real?

More than one dog has starved to death guarding their master's body.

A cat will eat your face one hour after you die.

[missyme]

Where in heck did you ever hear that???????

[evad]

and now I am doomed. what a way to get totally flamed

Welcome to Free Republic.

Did you figure how to make the pics smaller?

[missyme]

Not yet, I am going back and fourth from doing my work as a recruiter to posting on FR and teaching myself HTML Properties... This picture thing is hard, but I think I have grasp on it so the next picture I submit will be with no flaws no fur no red eyes and a regular size, but I appreciate all your advice you have to offer......

[TYVets]

Nothing worse than a Bible thumping, peta type, tree hugger!

[TYVets]

They are animals!

I dropped out of the discussion because Missyme is clearly a city girl with no knowledge of how the red areas live in this country. It is also clear that she sides with the blue areas, if not siding with them, she at least falls for their rhetoric.

PANORAMA CITY — An elderly woman who may have suffered a stroke was hospitalized today after several of her pet cats bit her while she was incapacitated, possibly because they were hungry, officials said.
Paramedics sent to the 13500 block of Saticoy Street about 9:30 last night took the woman, in her 80s, to a hospital in critical condition, said Jim Wells of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

A pet dog apparently also was bitten by the cats.
Authorities withheld the name of the woman, who lived alone with numerous pets, Wells said. She had lived there for about 20 years, Wells said. "Witnesses said they had not seen her in about a week," Wells said. "The animals had not been fed, and it appears that some of them had started to bite her." She had also been bitten by fleas, Wells said.
Animal control workers removed the pets from the residence.

Here Kitty Kitty....

Thanks : )

[missyme]

You know that was an unfair post...I beleive if anyone is starving animal or person they will eat whatever they can to survive, I have never had the unfortunate experience of dealing with the pain of starvation but if I was I cannot imagine I would ever eat a skunk a roach or a dead person!

But I am sure others would just like some animals would or would not... My Kitty Zorro would not eat certain things if he is hungry he waits for the right food what he would do after 7 days I am sure is eat the food he hated to begin with.

[CSM]

You sure make a lot of assumptions based on your imagination. When you are faced with starvation, you WILL eat anything! Any food is a valuable resource, be it an insect or a skunk! Of course, you won't have a clue how to survive in such a situation and you better pray a hunter is there to provide for you!

Correction:

More than one dog has starved to death guarding their masters body.

A cat will eat your face BEFORE you die.
