Fishing line?
Woohoo! To the hardware store, quick!!!
I spent part of the afternoon looking for proper colour broom
straw(plastic) and fiber optic filament, and I still have no idea where I
could get the right stuff. So I was planning to buy those plastic threads
ending in a"T", used in stores to add cardborad labels to clothes. Although
I thought it was rather thick.
So fishing line it is!

Customer is very satisfied with the cat mask, and ordered two clones of it.
She insists on the whiskers and eye-whiskers. I'll be happy to oblige.

Thanks!
