MRS M Pickering is right to highlight the grotesque trade in toy cats made from real fur (Letters, December 18).
Many are made from rabbit fur but, due to lack of controls, they could be made from real cat and dog fur.
Her advice not to buy these items is sound, since if they are made from real fur some form of cruelty to animals will have been involved in their production.
