Bounty, sorry, but you will have to explain things to me :
- I know what a mink is
- and I know its fur is quite expensive

Is there a special meaning to the "mink glove" or are you wondering if I really use an expensive mink glove for my cat ?
You know, for a cat used to foie gras, lobsters and caviar ...... and a mink glove is wonderful to remove shedded hairs, so they won't get on its mohair blanket...
