Pickles by Brian Crane for April 14, 2022

Rollin’ along with the tumblin’ tumberfur.

Its shedding time of the year. A bit cool still to already have turned on the A/V.

Muffin looks horrified.

Why is it her job? You were the groom.

Our cat, very obviously, holds onto her fur when you brush her, then relaxes the grip as soon as she approaches any place where cat fur is not wanted.

time to get out the vacuum (and Opal’ll make Earl do it I presume)

That’s little bitty for a tumbleweed, Earl. I didn’t know they had babies.

My long hair cat hates to be groomed. I have to lock him in the bathroom with me in order to comb him.

It kind of looks like a small Trible to me… but perhaps not.

For those who have ever wondered what a tumbleweed is…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbleweed

With a fan that powerful I am surprised that they are not complaining about being cold ;-)

Better than a hairball! (I have a cat)

Our big orange cat looks like Roscoe. He wants to be groomed every day. The other orange cats, not at all.

I do not mind other people’s pets, but please give me a towel to cover my clothes b/c I really do not to take home their fur/dander.

Brusha brusha brusha.

And here we had a surprise snowfall last night! No a/c on here yet.

A bit of Muffin rolling along the carpet.

Where do you think those tumbleweeds come from? Cats swallow their fur while grooming. Petting strokes and brushing are the greatest sources of loose hair.

I think it’s a Tribble.

Naw, in her cage atop the car and through the car wash.

They always make more, no matter how often you brush them.

One of Muffin’s cousins is a stray around here. The cats like my front steps, because it gets the afternoon sun. Come shedding season I get those little orange “tumble weeds”. They like to stick to the hems of pant legs too.

I just love Earl’s face in the first panel

For us we had a dry line front come through before the front did go through first time our temp’s went to summer 87° too hot for this house and strong winds 60, after that front went through temps started down. We did get a little rain. We have 3 dogs, so far mostly 1 needs brushing.

I miss having pets but not the hair.

They accumulate in dark places!

Wow – he’s getting STINK-EYE from the CAT..?

Screw the damncat…throw him in the dishwasher and go move in with your sister…

A husband’s remedy….

…

Tumbleweeds are way bigger than that little thing!

Muffin could use a good brushing.

Muffin disagrees.

Or Opal should vacuum more.
