Cat shedding hair.
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 ?!?!?

Rhetorical 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 hold 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 ?!?!? My furbabies http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ 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 know I'm thinking in human terms, but well, I thought it was worth mentioning That's true. My Butterscotch doesn't shed too much at home. I usually only find hair in her favorite spots and it takes a few days between cleanings to see that. But, when I take her to the vet for her yearly check up, my car is COVERED in fur. I took her about a week ago for her rabies shot update and she refused to go into her carrier so I carried her. She clung to me and shed everywhere! I took her out of the car at the vet and just brushed a ton of her fur off in the parking lot with just my hand. She hates leaving because she's an indoor only cat. She was definitely stressed and she definitely shed more because of it! |

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. -- "A horse a horse my kingdom for a horse, I haven't had a winner in six months". MD |
