True, it probably was. It might have made people think about tears and liquid and diamonds in a way they never really had before. (That's why I love unusual phrases. As far as I'm concerned they're half the fun. And actually strengthen the narrative flow by making things more vivid.)
But now reading it feels a bit like reading through several pages of the same name in a phone book, so that by the end the name stops meaning anything and just turns into a jumble of symbols.
I quite like 'liquid fur'. Even though it seems slightly off-kilter, cats actually having fur and all.
