Cat Hair

[catnapper]

How do you view cat hair?

[Edwina's Secretary]

Everywhere I look???

The other day I went for a pedicure and had on a black skirt. The manicurist...who speaks VERY little english said...."Puppy?" It took me a minute to understand what she meant....I replied..."kitties!"

I guess I view it as a part of living with cats. I just try to keep the house as clean as I can, knowing that there will still be some cat hair around.
I somehow missed the poll the first time. I voted for "On Top of It," but I'm really somewhere in between that and the next one down the list.

Quite frankly, I'm a bit suspicious of someone who doesn't have SOME cat hair on them.

I'm on top of it. I have to be, with four persians, two chinchilla, one silver tabby, and a black one. Having carpets in a real pain, and an absolute must is a good vacuum, I seem to wear them out every couple of years. Constant grooming helps, but not as much as I would like.

Since we did some major remodeling and redecorating last fall I've been staying on top of it. I discovered a new way to remove the hair from furniture. I spray lightly with Febreeze and then rub off over the furniture with my hands. The hair rolls up easily. At first my hands would get a little sore but now I do this about twice a week and it doesn't take long at all. I think it's a great way to remove the hair and freshen the house. The hardest thing is Richard's solid navy blue recliner. The fabric likes to hold onto the hair and with it being solid blue the hair really shows up.

I also sweep once or twice a day and vacuum every 2-3 days. I do the Febreeze trick on my area rugs about twice a month to remove what my vacuum misses. It's amazing what I get up sometimes. It think 90% of it is Rumor's hair.

Honestly, although I don't have cats, whenever I visit Orion I HATE it! It sticks to EVERTHING. My dog's hair I can just wipe it off myself, however Orion's fur sticks to me and always seems to get in my eyes or my nose and itches the crap out of me. I don't know if I have some sort of allergy towards cats but cat hair bothers my eyes and nose to no end.

Of course, that doesn't stop me from kissing him and petting him all over.

When someone says something about the kitty hair on my clothes, I just smile... and reply, "Well this way I take a little of my girls with me wherever I go!"

Sammy's fur is everywhere in our house. I try to brush him regularly, and each time, I tell him that I have enough hair to make a new Sammy, but he still sheds with the best of them. I take it off my clothes when it's terribly obvious, but for the most part, it's just an accessory now.

My hubby obsesses over it. He'd carry a lint brush in his pocket, if he could get away with it.

I do try to keep it off the furniture at least.

Oh COOL!!! I need one of those just to get all the litter up off of our hardwood!

I cannot say I keep on top of it, I should really because of my allergies,Ash is the shedder here mostly, well it is his light grey hairs that one finds everywhere, he loves to sit on the dining room chairs, not just one but every single one of them, so I do my best to keep those clean, as I think of other people coming in and not wanting to leave with cat hair all over them, I am afraid it is just one of those things if you own kitties, It does bother me if I am going out somewhere and get it on my good clothes, and i tend to like wearing a lot of black, which is like a magnet to Ashe's grey fur, but a lint roller usually does the trick, must get myself a new one, I know Lexie sheds but i never really see her fur anywhere, of course if I owned white clothes or furniture I am sure one would.

Cat hair???? WHERE???

Everything I own is perfectly insulated with cat hair and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Not much you can do about it, I guess... LOL What would our homes be without cat hair? (and the cats attached to them )
