Default Cat & Dog Fur faring in the EU

Dunno, but my cat has really nice soft fur.

Yes, but domestic cat fur is not durable and makes a very poor quality
pelt. The only domestic cat pelt I have ever seen was a wall hanging.
OTOH, the canines and cynodonts like fox and raccoons make very nice
pelts. The only reason you don't see coyote muffs is that coyotes
don't have very interesting coloration. The Chinese could probably
develop a nice sideline to their food dog industry by breeding for a
meaty animal with an attractive coat.
