Could fur possibly be easier to grow than meat? I think it's a fascinating idea, actually, but my impression is that in-vitro meat is currently mostly just muscle cells grown in culture, without any of the complications of mixing different cell types, giving them structure, etc. With fur, you'd have to create hair follicles, and induce the right oils to be excreted, etc... I'm not a biologist but it sounds much tougher.
