Here in the USA all the cats are starting to shed. I'm finding vomited
furballs all over the house. Some I only find after they've dried out.

What fun!

Oh yes, not to mention the clamouring to go outside (although mine only gets
out in her Kitty Walk enclosure) and generally walking around yowling :)

My roomie jsut came back from a week in Boston, and I told her over the
phone about Mischief's escapes through the front door.  When she came
home I said, "We need to sit down and have a good talk with her."

I think she justr purred in response.  "Don't you think I'm pretty?  I
don't know what you're talking about."

Now every time the front door opens we have to keep an watchful eye on
her.  Little varmint.  We can't even open the sliding glass door and
have the screen shut to get some air.  We do that so we don't have to
use the air conditioning (lower power bill$$$) but it's hard if she
starts pawing or climbing the screen!!!

It's also spring because i'm vacuuming a TON of cat hair.  no hairballs
thankfully, but where is all this hair coming from?

They don't *look* that furry, but they are.  No hairballs here, thankfully.
I had to buy a baby-gate that would fit between the sliding glass door and
the screen so Persia can't get out.  It works, but it's an expense I'd
rather not have had to deal with.  They are too bright for their own good.

When I had little tiny Mimi, every day, I would brush out of her fur a
pile of hair that was bigger than she was. :P

Persia loves the brush and I'm always amazed at how much fur is left behind
in it!  I shed terribly myself but my "fur" is much longer.

I'm filling more than the average number of vacuum cleaner bags also. Mine
spend at least half their lives outside overall, so I can't explain why so
much of the discarded fur ends up in the carpeting.

LOL...it has been "spring" since 3/21 and here in MileHigh not only does it
still snow every once in awhile,
but in our happy home all the fur is still on the cats. They
still sport the thick winter coats they grew when it turned cold here around
Oct.
I never appreciated things becoming green again outside
when we lived in FL, where they are never any other color.....

They save it up until they come in, they know how much you love to
collect it. ;-)
