Retorical Question:

Why is it that I can brush my Sam's hair for hours on end and get hardly a
hair but as soon as I hokd him to trim nail, medicate, or whatever he sheds
so much that I look like I have more cat hair on me then he does ?!?!?

Because cats can shed hair as a "defense" when stressed.  If a larger
predatory animal were to grab them, and only manage to grab the fur - an
easy escape is then managed.

Also, if you saw a potential dinner that was shedding it's fur, you wouldn't
be too appetized by it, would you?  I know I'm thinking in human terms, but
well, I thought it was worth mentioning ;)

I have 2 cats and I can not wear anything black or dark blue as I will be
covered in fur.  It amazes me how clean they appear when they go rolling
around on the ground outside.  I have these white blanket type things that
they sleep on.  The white gets very dirty quickly so takes a lot of washing
but it give you an indication of the dirt that the cats bring in the house.
Also it will show me if they have picked up fleas.
