Ear furniture? Marshmallow's got it!

Okay, so I may have been half-asleep when I was watching this special on American Curls, but I thought they said the hair that sticks out of a cat's ears is called "ear furniture". Wonder if that's all cats or just American Curls? If it's all cats, my Marshmallow is ear furniture rich!

you were half asleep and misunderstood... I watched it and saw it, and that is not what they said... but I deleted it... I will record it again and come back to post it

Maybe it was "ear curviture (sp)?

I was watching that program earlier this week.

It's "ear furnishings". Here's a link: http://www.iams.com/iams/en_US/jsp/I...p?pageID=CBG#E

Pretty close! ear furniture from furnishings! There you go!

Either furnishing or tufts/tufting.

Ahh, ear furnishings! That sounds better.

Sasha has fancy ear furnishings.

I love the mental imagery of "Ear Furniture"!

Is the ear hair of old guys referred to as ear furnishings? Or is it only cats?

I don't know. But if it is, my evil boss has enough ear furnishings to open up a retail furniture store. And he's not really that old...so it couldn't be considered antique furniture.

Sasha does have elegantly appointed ear furnishings.

Yep furnishing. I've also heard it called feathering although feathering more often refers to the 'fringe' on other parts of the body like the legs.
