Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004cat fur
Isn't cat fur annoying? Anyone else get the stuff up their nose and just can't get rid of it. And when you have more than one cat in the house you sometimes end up with clumps of it all over your home? I sometimes wake up with clumps of white fur all the way down the hallway. Once I found white fur hanging outta our other cats mouth. Tina ------ "Sesame Street Workshop laid off sixty workers. News of the firings was brought to employees by the letters F and U." --Jimmy Fallon I hear ya! did you ever go to sleep then wake up with that cat-hair-tickle in your nose because kitty got hair all over the pillow... thats gotta be the worst :( p.s.

One thing about Sabrina - she loves to sleep on our bed, but she (thankfully) never sleeps on our pillows. Although, at night, I use a pillow to curl up with to support my shoulders. I sleep on my side. The pillow is under the blankets. Sabrina's fav sleeping spot is half on that pillow and half on me, cuddled up right next to the curve or my body. Thankfully I don't get kitty fur in the face that way. :) > >I hear ya! did you ever go to sleep then wake up with that cat-hair-tickle > >in your nose because kitty got hair all over the pillow... thats gotta be [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thankfully I don't get kitty fur in the face that way. :) I think it's in the air. No matter how much I clean , how much I vaccum, use on of those sticky things, brush the darn things I still sometimes go to work with cat fur in my darn nose. It's a hard sucker to get out to.

They sell these devices called "vacuum cleaners". They are very useful for cleaning cat fur, among other things. I recommend you get one and use it at least once a week.

Mostly, I was posting to say that I've always had this fantasy about how I wish I had saved all the cat fur that I've brushed and combed off of my cats over the years (or found masquerading as tumbleweeds around my house). I have various ideas about what I might have done with it. The worst is to stuff pillows to use for allergic house guests who overstay their welcome. Open question to the NG: What would YOU do with all your accumulated cat fur if you had saved it?

Make another cat. With all the fur that's around my house I 'd have enough to make a litter of them. The stuffing the pillows with the fur idea is a good one. A nice cozy cat fur blanket would be nice to. Knitted maybe. Tina > Make another cat. With all the fur that's around my house I 'd have > enough to make a litter of them.

Wouldn't that be great? I'd make another Whiskers; another Amber and Purl; another Claude, Earnest, Alice, Alexander, and Tiger Lily; another Charcoal, some more Muffins -- the list goes on, but I won't. A cat blanket? I don't know -- I prefer my cat blankets to be alive. Thanks for the response! SignatureDiana > Open question to the NG: What would YOU do with all your accumulated cat > fur if you had saved it?

How about a Calico sweater? SignatureDiana > What would YOU do with all your accumulated cat fur if you had saved it? Since my QT died, I have decided to keep my cats furr (when I brush them only) and whiskas. I will make a pillow of it once I have enough furr (they are all shorthairs!)

I've have two very furry cats for almost 8 years, and probably could have a bunch of pillows by now. Good luck! And sorry about your QT.

He was the sweetest little thing. As for the pillow, I suppose it doesn;t have to be a big one, a litle say 10*10" pillow will suffice. Anything left from the one you loved so much will mean a helluva lot once they are gone. I should know. This may sound crazy, but does anybody know if in UK, the vets or someone could preserve say a tail of your cat after their death, that you can then tresure. I know in America stuffed animals are popular, but I couldn;t bare the idea of stuffing my dead cat. But saving a tail...I dunno just a crazy thought I had.

But think how uninspiring a lifeless tail would seem. There's so much purr-sonality in cats' tails when they're alive, and that would all be missing. For me, a few photos and my fond memories are preferable -- and maybe one of those cat fur pillows! I don't really think it's popular in the US to have a pet stuffed when it dies. I read an article about some extremely expensive freeze-drying process that was said to be catching on, but I have no idea with whom.

You are right, come to think of it more, I suppose I'd cry everytime I looked at the tail, and it would probably make it worse, not better. Pillow is probably much better option :) and lots of videos.

Yes, I got millions of pictures and videos and cinouter screen saver, anda website, but nothing cat give me that feeling of touching their wonderfull furr and feeling their wormth and hearing that blessed purr. This is why I thought of a tail, maybe just maybe if I can touch the tail, I can still have a little peace of them when they are gone. See I haev lost a pet, my QT got run over 4 years ago, and I am still not over him. he was an amazing creature and I'd give anything to hear him and touch him again. That is why I had these kind of thoughts even though they may sound wierd. Gee > "m. L.

I think I watch 2 much TV.

My thought would be to find another one to love - so take yourself to the Humane Society (or rescue center) and give that affection that you still have to a living, purring, playing kitten who needs it very much?
