Title: Cat hair!
Post by: Fire Fox on August 06, 2010, 23:43:09 PM
Having a white furbaby, pretty much the entire flat is covered in fur. Most noticably black clothes, velvet cushions ... and now half of my fashionably frilly handbag has been head-butted into fluffdom.  :Luv2:

Which items are terminally fur-ridden in your home?  :naughty:

Everything  :-:

Tell me about it  :tired: I have Byron tortie and white and Pep, White/Tabby and wouldn't be without 'em but I have every defurring device known to man but none seem to remove the hairs much - if anyone knows of any good tools let us know please  :evillaugh:

Everything here too........sigh

All four of my cats have white or light colours and of course the dark fur is there too but just doesnt show up so much.

I have given up in despair.

My Oscar (RIP) was pure white ,very thick short fur and you only had to touch him and clouds of white fur were everywhere and he always slept with me too -so everywhere had a white covering -i had to hoover every day - would still hoover everyday if i could have him back  :'(

Pepsi is quite dark on the outside but her undercoat is a light fawny colour so that ends up everywhere, and of course Darcy is nearly all white.  Most noticeable places that get covered in hair are -

Food - I could open up a brand new packet of food and inexplicably there would be a tuft of hair in it
My work uniform
The sofas
My coat as they both choose to lie on that instead of their beds/blankets/cushions/anywhere else. If I decide to give up wearing one coat because it's getting too hairy and leave it for them to sit on, of course they'll ignore that one and sit on the one that I've decided to wear instead.  :innocent: :Luv:

I have to de-furr the sheet by my pillow every morning, after night occupancy by Tosker

I find the only way is to run the slicker brush over it - it works a dream, and doesn't seem to damage the sheet

I also run the slicker brush over my heart rug occasionally, and invariably find fur left behind by the vacuum cleaner

I am permanently covered in ginger fur!  Most of the flat is too.  The bed gets covered in fur and I notice the windows and window frames are quite bad too as I get lots of damp and condensation so that mixes with the fur....  :sick:  I keep a lint roller in my drawer at work so that I can attempt to de-fur my trousers when I get to work, but other than that I just go with the flow  ;D  For some reason, my car is always covered in cat hair.  I think it gets onto me and then onto the car seats from me.

Everything is fur covered with me, too - we have 3 black and one black and white cat, so the black hairs stick to the pale clothes etc and the white hairs to the dark clothes.  Add to that 2 chestnut, 2 grey and one dark bay horse who are now starting to lose their summer coats a bit, and you can imagine the delicate colouring of all the hair in my car, on my clothes, up my nose..... :)
