Cat Hair

[prechrswife]

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.
