And finally, a ring that can be made to your catty specifications:
As I said earlier, I like ALL of these pieces, but my very favorites are the origami cat face and the art cat necklaces.
What about you? Do you like cats, or live with some? (We currently have two, but have owned as many as four at one time. Five of our former kitties have passed on.) Does any of this jewelry particularly appeal to you? Share in the comments below.
