Being a guy with a couple of aging cats, this actually had me stroking my figurative beard. I wonder if this letter opener paw had one shiny, sharpened, metal claw as I'm led to imagine it? Sounds pretty cool, something any reasonably awesome family would keep as a cherished heirloom.
(And how did I overlook such a great name for a cat)
