Fur Growing Cat Soap

Our picture cannot do justice to this source of wonder.

This sculpture of a cat is a piece of high-quality soap from a leading German cosmetic manufacturer, safe and in compliance with all regulations.

When exposed to the air it begins to grow hair which after a few days becomes long and silky. When used for washing, a small plastic mouse is discovered inside.

However, the hirsute cat is such an appealing figure that we suspect that it usually remains on permanent display without ever as much getting its paws wet.
