Does the pet hair covering your house and clothes embarrass you?

I'm putting away my winter clothes and I've used almost a whole pet-hair-removing roller cleaning up my sweaters.

If it covered the outside of my house it wouldn't be embarrassing, just kind of cool.

It would if I didn't have a cleaning woman 2x month. Also, clothes washer.

Cat people are generally kind of disgusting despite their pets being cleanly animals.

total dirtbag style: we still have hair flying around here from our dog who died in January. Obv it doesn't embarrass me enough.

I'm getting kind of tired of it, but not enough to use the lint-roller unless I'm doing ironing. Pestering my cat means more to me than looking good I guess.

I have pretty much come to terms with it, but I don't want my sweaters infecting my other clothes with brown and white hairs for the next eight months.

I'm confused. Does this mean you're reluctant to use the lint roller on your cat???

XD Well, that would take care of the problem right there!

No, I mean that I pick him up even when I'm wearing nice clothing or about to head out the door or whatever. If I see a piece of fur on my jacket, I might pick it off when nobody's looking, but there are probably 50 stray hairs elsewhere on my person that I don't bother about.

i hate my cat's hair being on anything. except her.

The embarrassment associated with inadvertently displaying pet hair upon mine attire is negligible; however, I would most likely give pause in approaching strangers would my vestment feature any amount of pet blood or pet semen.

Oh, fuck! Do you have bloody, cummy pets?

Man, I really didn't need to ask that...

I didn't used to :(

Aw, that sucks. : ( Is it some kind of condition?

Nothing a cold shower won't fix.

i don't mind generally, but if I’m about to go out and i get covered, then it's annoying.

in hair that is...

Living with two black cats has something to do with the fact I wear a lot of dark colors and have dark furniture. It was sort of shocking today when I turned on the ceiling fans to see the size of the tumbleweeds of cat fur that started rolling across the floors.

Cat people are generally kind of disgusting despite their pets being cleanly animals.

oh yes. I feel a shade on the good side of disgusting, but that's probably only because I just did laundry and some spring cleaning -- ask me a month ago, and I would say something like, "omg yes, this place is so gross, jesus the cat hair THE CAT HAIR!!!" and then i would have thrown down my bag (covered in cat hair, no matter what) taken off my shoes (suede + cat hair = your shoes are made of cat hair), torn off my outer clothing and run screaming down the street.

These are your choices: 1) clean like mad, roughly as diligently as your cat "bathes" 2) go mad and run screaming down the street (not practical), or 3) chill, shrug, and go ahead and be a dirty damn hippie. While you're at it, get a ferret.

This is the worst Choose Your Own Adventure I've ever read. (I pick #2 because I have my impractical moments and it's not like anyone on the block would mind. "That silly gabacha," they'd all say.)

Fuck hair -- you know what gets me? I have a BOX OF SHIT AND URINE in my home. A BOX OF SHIT AND URINE. Ain't no hamster shit, neither. This is fully mammal-sized.

Dog people don't understand, and cat people can't explain. No matter how much animal byproduct is involved, it's all worth it to have a good pet who is not a dog.

Yeah, litter box is much worse than everything covered in hair and cat spit, esp. in a smallish apartment.

right now, the bird feathers attached to sinew and v.v small bones are embarrasing me.
No idea where the rest of the corpse is.

otherwise, not letting them sleep in/among/on my clothing - kitties or dead birds - is my major goal.
But I don't ever really need to look very professionalso a few stray hairs all over my trousers and shirts isn't a big deal.

the whole cats = clean thing has always mystified me, even more so after living with a couple of them. they cover everything in hair, paw through their crap before running on the countertops, heave up hairballs/vomit...

animals are messy, period

When I read this thread title, I imagined: desaturated footage of Abbott shaking her head at the fuzzy mess all over the sofa and pulling handfuls of pet hair off her black sweater; Abbott making a frustrated face at a cute dog, who hides his face with his paw. Narrator: THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY.

Where da birdie at?
Last week, after feeling incapable of dealing with the corpses, I made my S.O. deal with one.
A few days later, when the subject came up, he said: "BUT...he tore the face off the bird! It wasn't a regular thing! It was like a Hannibal Lecter thing!"
So we tried to keep Hannibal in - and he got out.
He crawled, backward, down the front of a three story building.

CSI - Kitty.

There are three dogs in my house this week (two are here on vacation) and this shit is just getting ridiculous.

It's impossible to get it all out. However if a burglar comes to your house, he is going to get cat or dog hair on him....brilliant!!

And it'll REALLY show up on their black burglary outfits!

We get through a lot of lint roller, and have both upright and handheld Dyson Animals. I wear dark colours and have light cats.

I wear dark colours and have light cats. - story o my life. Maybe I should invest in at least one of those Dysons?

I have two cats. One small Siamese & one quite large mutt whose gorgeous, thick coat is about 90% arctic white (he is obv. the primary culprit here). I was a bit conflicted about it at first, for various reasons, but I decided to give him a kitty-cat buzz cut for the summer & it has been immensely beneficial for all parties involved: goodbye daily fur tumbleweeds across the wood floor & sticking to EVERY surface in the humidity & Mr. Cat (Marlowe) has had quite a spring in his step, as opposed to spending his dog days languishing in misery.

I sweep and vacuum daily (my mother would be proud), and that makes all the difference, I've found. Also keep a lint roller by the door.
