Meet the CatBar, a hand-made and very odd-looking USB stick

The term “hand-made” is probably one of the last things you would think of when it comes to USB sticks. But not so in Japan, where a craftswoman apparantly spends a whole working day to manufacture one stick that’s shaped like a little cat.

The USB cat looks very strange in my opinion (look between its legs, for example) and is made of Chirimen, which is traditional (and expensive) Japanese heavy crape cloth normally used for kimonos.
The 2GB stick is available for everyone to buy at Geek Stuff 4 U (price: $81.75+shipping).
