As one owned by a cat who had about 2 hrs left before the big sleep... She thanked me for about 1 hour. Then, she loved me. purring... rubbing... & I became hers. She will always have a place in my heart, my bed.. everywhere. Now if I could just get all the cat hair off of at least one item of my clothing.. that is all I ask.. just 1 item!

My cat is smart enough to burrow into the basket of clothes that are still warm from the dryer. Cat hair indeed.

Snowbear,

I know what you mean about cat hair. We have to defur a number of spots regularly just to stop the fur from taking over our home. But it is so worth it. Funny thing is, we will find little patches in spots we don't expect to find, such as the kitchen table. She is not supposed to be on the table but obviously takes advantage of the fact when my wife and I are both at work. But she wouldn't be a cat if she didn't take advantage.

SSG Geezer,

Yes, ours has a similar knack for seeking out clean clothes left on the bed and leaving a big ginger patch on them. I guess it is her way of saying 'put your clothes away'.
