A question.

How is it the hair that comes off my black cat when I groom her is grey?


Even Ebby herself can hardly believe it.

That pile is huge! You could make a couple more cats with that!

All that came out of Ebby??????? WOW!

(and the undercoat, which is that part shedding, is usually lighter colored. If you were to have Ebby shaved, she would be that grey color! )

It certainly did, and there was/is more to come. My fault, poor girl, for leaving it so long.

Really! She would be a grey cat! Wow.

That IS a lot ... and I wouldn't have thought the colour would be that different! I bet she's feeling "lighter" now.

I've kept the fur I brushed off of Fister over the years - thought of making a pillow for him. The amount is not much more than what you've got there.

[ChrisH]

Yes, it is a lot isn't it. Maybe it is because it has been so hot lately.

p.s. Don't know if anyone can see but the white specks are her kitty dandruff. Poor baby, I really must make grooming her a regular thing.

[Prairie Purrs]

Goodness! That's a big enough fur pile to deserve a name and its own bed! Ebby must have a secret identity as a grey cat.

You could almost stuff a pillow with all that Ebby Fur!
Seeing Ebby so happy makes me miss my Tubby Angel, I am glad the Ebby likes being groomed.
We always love seeing Ebby.

Hi Gary! I've noticed the same thing with Groucho. For some reason I always thought it was a combination of the dead fur along with the dust and dirt that our kitties pick up during the day from rolling around, playing, and doing kitty things that ultimately settles on their skin.
