Cat Call

You’re no pussy. In fact, you’re much more of the wild variety.

We’re talking about cats, people. Get your heads out of the gutter.

And you’ll love Minou Fou (French for “crazy kitty”), the locally made line of enigmatic charm necklaces.

Inspired by the rebus (a puzzle comprising pictures and letters that illustrate a thing or idea), each piece is composed of tiny objects, letters, and numbers that form decodable messages.

Take Killing Time, with a tiny silver revolver and a cuckoo clock; the As If, with a miniature donkey, an “I,” and an “F”; or Listen to Me, with an ear, the number “2,” and the letters “M” and “E.” Separately, each looks like a random trinket, but put them together and you’ll discover a secret meaning.

Minou Fou also creates custom pieces. Just tell them what you want to say, and they’ll do the rest.

Unless the cat’s got your tongue.
