Default Static Electricity

I "furminated" Buffy a few minutes ago. For a domestic short hair, she
sure has a really heavy undercoat! She sheds like crazy.

The Furminator is an excellent grooming tool. I groom her, put the
excess fur in a short lined waste basket. She rolls around and purrs
while being "furminated".

It's got to feel good to lose that heavy undercoat of fur as the weather
is warming up. Of course she gets scritches and plenty of soothing
words from me, too. She rolls around and lets me get her sides and the
scruff of her heck and the base of her tail. She purrs when I use this
deshedding tool on her.

This time, though, she decided afterwards to rub against the (I'd
emptied it) waste basket where I always put that soft, loose fur. The
static electricity was such that some of the fur flew back up and stuck
to her. It was funny! Poof! Thanks to static electricity you can have
your fur back.

I picked the pieces of off Buffy's face. And yes, I have since emptied
the basket so no more Buffy Fluff will be flying about the place.
