Ours has gotten too thin to be useful... Luckily faux fur is now pretty good! (The only piece of fur I own was a reuse; a small band on a hat that was cut from an older garment that would have otherwise been thrown out.)
Not a critter; another human. If I remember correctly, it was a little piece of beaver pelt, but it didn't die for me; I just made sure his death wasn't wasted after a single use.
