Pickles by Brian Crane for August 02, 2011

Whenever my long-haired cat gets ready to throwup a hair ball I call it a hack-attack.

Boy, don’t I know it. Can’t go a day without cat hair in/on something.

Do cats ever get groomed (hair cuts) like dogs get? If not, why not? Surely it would help reduce cat hair in the house.

You’ve messed with a man’s food. You die tonight.

I have three maincoons and thats why I have the Dyson Animal!

I don’t think so, Opal. I’ll pass.

I sympathize, Earl.

Get the cat shaved for the summer.

Those cat hairs have penetrated the woman’s brain.

Siamese don’t shed? Ha! I have a sixteen-pound male who begs to differ. (And a nine-pound one who doesn’t shed at all…go figure.)

The tragic thing, is that Opal really believes that.

o_O Siamese don’t shed???? What happy universe do you live in? I have Siamese hair all over my socks as we speak

The only cats that don’t shed are the Rex and the Sphinx (a hairless mutation).

My grandma (BIG cat fan) used to say she had a fur-lined stomach!

@ Kreole, yes, some people take their cats to groomers. In hot climates, those long haired cats really need to be shaved. Best friend’s Persian goes naked in the summer, and likes it. Best anti-shed method for other cats is frequent combing with a comb designed to remove the shedding undercoat. Messy at first, but effective in the long run.

SICK! SICK,! SICK! Brian you should have put a kitty litter box under the table also.

Ahhh… A cat taco sandwich.

My tropical fish don’t shed…

hark, what furball doth appear? hark, hark, splorktt

Ewwwwwwww!

Really Opal? After what Earl has done for you?

LOL!

Yes, some cats get groomed, by very brave groomers, since cats don’t always appreciate the attention. Heck, our cat even gets her teeth cleaned (no anesthetic) twice a year.

I’ll eat the cat I can live without the fur.

I dunno about that, Simpsonfan…I bathed my cat about twice a year. And when he was moulting he loved to be combed and brushed; I imagine the loose fur itched. It depends on the cat and what they are used to. Living in our extremely hot climate he actually enjoyed the occasional bath, and it helped him cast his heavy coat of fur. He was an albino Siamese. And yes, they shed like mad.

She hasn’t even eaten her sandwich! What’s up with that?

And dog hair too !!!!!!!

I have a Siamese female and she sheds. My long-haired domestic, not so much. My morning coffee just wouldn’t be the same without them contributing a “floatie” (hair) or two.

I thought that the first layer of the earth was made up primarily of cat hair

I beg to differ…I had a Siamese who lived to the ripe old age of 22 years and she shed like crazy!!!

EEEWWWWWWW……lol

An online friend of mine has to have her old cat what she calls pig shaved every so often, because his long hair tangles and knots and mats very badly and he will not let anyone comb or brush him. The pictures of this cat with a shaved body and a head full of long hair are priceless, esp. because this cat’s facial configuration results in a permanent pissed off expression.

Yuck! I don’t like the thought of any kind of hair in my food! We have 2 little dachshunds and they shed some mostly in the summer (so they get baths) but year long i keep 1 of those big sticky lint rollers in every room of the house (and in the truck too lol) and use them to roll the dogs and myself!
