This post is not pretty. I do not recommend reading while eating. You have been warned.
I try to brush the cat everyday. He sheds. Animals shed, people shed. Fact of life. In reality, the only time you don’t shed is if you don’t have any hair. That leaves you down to the occasional newborn, the very very old and those under chemo.
The cat falls into none of those. He is just a furry beast who I try to brush everyday. He likes being brushed, that isn’t the question. It is more like he is under foot while I am in the kitchen and really don’t want floating hair while doing food prep.
This morning? I picked up “the glove” and he came running. Noah had purchased a pair and gave me one. Onyx adores getting groomed with this glove and rubs up against it. I spent a whole five minutes –

and wound up with this gross mat of hair. It is more an 0.5oz if that gives you any idea. Obviously, all that grooming is thirsty work –
Is it soft? I once spun a neighbor’s Malamute fur and knit her a hair scrunchy out of it.
Not too bad. And unlike dog, it doesn’t really smell very bad. If you want it ….
Our last cat loved a good brushing. We used a small bright pink Barbie toy brush someone had picked up somewhere. He knew the brush and would even push it towards me. It is the one use I have ever found for anything Barbie pink!
