Cebrating Faux Fur Friday 2025 - in Style!

We have always believed in Faux Fur Friday...because there's so little we have to do to prepare!  Why all we have to do is parade around in our REAL FUR...Whadaya think...am I the "real thing?" -- Peaches the cat

Our human, demonstrating the "faux fur" look thinks she can look like US just by wearing the right kind of sweater.  Lots of Luck with THAT idea human!   

But our human DOES go to alot of trouble celebrating this day!  Just look at the zebra throw she got for us! 

FAUX FUR DAY made its debut in 1929. Initially made from alpaca wool, faux fur increased in quality as synthetic fibers became available. The fibers not only allowed for more variety and texture, but they also provided warmth. Designers use it as an accent on clothing. They also create decor and entire ensembles. Faux fur comes in every color imaginable, too. 

HOW TO OBSERVE #FauxFurFriday

Throw a faux fur style show or shop for a faux fur deal. Wrap yourself in a soft, furry throw or poncho. Add some faux fur to a denim jacket

As you can see, I am getting in the spirit by a demo with our human Carol's tiger-striped hat.  Her intentions are good. Here is a better picture of the hat in question.  As you can see this hat and I are very good friends!   I prefer in fact to think of it as "my hat." However my sister, Paprika seems to think she got a raw deal, due to the fact she was given a LEOPARD blanket.  Paprika is SO picky.  As far as I, Peaches am concerned, it's all good!  BTW that tiger hat I spoke of is in hot demand.  

I, Paprika, have rights to this hat, too! I use it whenever I see it.  I'm not crazy like Peaches tho.  She WEARS it!

Peaches here, back again!  I wish to prove I'm not picky about whether the "faux fur" is leopard or tiger.  As you see, I am purr-fectly content on the leopard throw which Mom Carol gave us, evidenced by the fact, I'm kicking up my heels, er snow white boots!    Happy Faux Fur Day to all, and remembr if you ar "without faux fur" in your house, you always have your own fur-ball to pet!

Happy Faux Fur Friday 2019

Do you love your cat?  Do you feel lonely for your cat when she he/she is not with you?  Despair not!  On this special day (and all year round) you can be with your cat in spirit by petting your coat,  hat, scarf, and other fine garments (while thinking of your honey cat).  That's IF you celebrate FAUX FUR day by selecting the right garments from your closet. or buying them ahead of time.  The most luxurious, softest and silkiest of all holidays has arrived...FAUX FUR FRIDAY! (The first Friday in December). 



Here is some really cool history about Faux Fur Day:

Faux Fur Friday, observed on the first Friday in December, provides a stylish way to wear and buy faux fur.

Also known as fake fur, the textile made its debut in 1929. Initially made from alpaca wool, faux fur increased in quality as synthetic fibers became available. The fibers not only allowed for more variety and texture, but they also provided warmth. While the neo fur didn’t breath as well as animal fur, nor did it insulate as well, it lasted longer. Animal fur required refrigeration to avoid degrading. 

Whether you call it fake, imitation or simulated, faux fur has found a place in fashion. Designers use it as an accent on clothing. They also create decor and entire ensembles. Faux fur comes in every color imaginable, too. 

HOW TO OBSERVE #FauxFurFriday

Throw a faux fur style show or shop for a faux fur deal. Wrap yourself in a soft, furry throw or poncho. Add some faux fur to a denim jacket or jazz up pillow in your room. Share your faux fur secrets and use #FauxFurFriday to post on social media.

We have prepared a FAUX FUR Friday Celebration 

of our own, cozying up to various articles in our household!

 Hats are a verrrrry imporlant part of this celebration!
We have a particular attachment to Carol's TIGER hat. Now that might be because we ARE tigers...

 This is one hat that I allow Paprika to share (see below). I am not usually this generous though.

 Paprika here. This is NOT Peaches' tiger hat. It is OURS.  That means it is also mine. My pillow in this case. Peaches better not bother me now.

Hoping you will all enjoy Faux Fur Day with or WITHOUT your fur babies...

Faux Fur Friday

Good morning, Peaches here! Faux Fur Friday, celebrated the first Friday of December, is an irresistible holiday to celebrate for cats and humans! Faux fur clothing first got started in 1929 and in the 1970's was at its heyday.

Both I (above) and Paprika (below) are firm believers in this holiday.

First of all, humans can wear it & look pretty instead of REAL fur from animals, as was so popular in years past.

The real benefit of course is to us cats.  Just check out how happy Paprika and I are on this zebra fleece fur.  Our human buys them on sale at Joanne's Fabrics just to give us a thrill!

Speaking of thrills, you can see how I am enjoying this leopard print which is one of the Faux Fur fleece throws on which to luxuriate.



As you can see I could not resist a little "frolic" on same!

Lest you think we are completely nutty cats, we now present "Exhibit A" - featuring our human Carol.  Humans are far from immune to Faux Furs. As you can see, Carol is wearing a tiger sweater & TRYING to look like US!

We don't really think she succeeded but applaud her efforts.

Whenever possible we seek out articles of clothing to "hang out on" and protect. Here, for example, is Carol's "Tiger Hat" which makes a great foot warmer or pillow for myself or Paprika (below)

Paprika and Tiger Hat Pillow

I personally like to watch over this particular tiger hat and "protect" it so it will not fall into the wrong Paws."

When my human wears this hat out and about, I am always quick to pounce on it and "secure" it upon her return.

We hope you have enjoyed our Faux Fur celebration and that you always use FAUX fur in your sewing and gadabout activities!

Love, Peaches and sis-fur Paprika
