where do cat's eye shells come from
Operculum (gastropod) The operculum of certain species of Turbinidae is sometimes used as a very inexpensive organic "gemstone" in rings, bracelets, amulets etc. These opercula are commonly known as "cats eye" (or more recently "Shiva's eye").
Grumpy Cat Tardar Sauce was one of a litter of four kittens born to a calico mother and a father of an unknown breed at the home of her owner, Tabatha Bundesen.[6][7] The Bundesens say that Tardar Sauce's face appears grumpy because the feline has a form of dwarfism. She and her brother Pokey were born to normal parents with "a flat face, bubble eyes, and a short tail".[8] Tardar Sauce is undersized and has hind legs that "are a bit different".[2][4] Although she has a "grumpy" appearance and is called "Grumpy Cat", according to the Bundesens, 99% of the time she is a "normal kitty".[2][4][9]
