More than 5 years with us, Lacey has yet to do the habitual feline vomiting of a hairball. Not once have we been forced awake at night to that acking sound. There has been no jumping out of bed to grab a bit of newspaper to place under the wretched retching cat. And not making it in time.
I can't complain about that, but as I have mentioned before, she continually (or continuously?) wafts her fur. I bend down to pet her, and the fur is ready to fly off, go everywhere and get into everything.
Today, I present photographic evidence, for the camera doesn't lie. At least not in this case.
You can see it in the window light, can't you? The fur highlighted by the light is ready to depart her body and waft to the utmost reaches of the premises.
At least there is none of this ↓
HA! I have one who does vomit, but I don't see it happen, so I don't know who it is. Gatto is a hair ball. So, I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteLacey leaves it flying around the house instead.
ReplyDeleteWith two cats and a dog, our decor is very hairy. The long hair cat frequently horks up furballs, and how about the Lumps she pulls out of her hairy back end to leave in the kitchen almost every morning...
ReplyDeleteThese animals drive me CRAZY but I sill love them.
Can't say as I'm sorry to have no pets in the house anymore. There's still hair or fuzz along the hallway baseboard though, so I can no longer blame it on Duckie Doodle.
ReplyDeleteWhom I do long for upon occasion, and imagine holding close.
Ewww, yuck. One reason we don't have house pets, lol. Our old boy, though, is beginning to think he's a house cat! He darts in regularly.
ReplyDeleteMari has it all: the wafting hair, the occasional vomiting, usually on the carpet and a few hairballs. (not many being a short haired kitty) You are fortunate!
ReplyDeleteI have never had a cat that did hairballs since they have all had short hair. I can't think that it would be fun to clean up after.
ReplyDeleteYes, always on the carpet when the bare floor is inches away. I got one of those gloves with the bumps on the palm and you can pet your cat and remove a lot of that fur. Good luck to you and thanks for your comment. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteThat one makes me glad we don't have a cat!
ReplyDeleteI've dealt with soooo much kitty throwing up, even running the length of the house to find a rug.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting. Our pair don't throw up much. They are short-haired and don't have fur balls. We have had other cats we'd have to give goop to to get it through them.
ReplyDeleteWe used to periodically put some butter on top of our cat's paws. They'd lick it off and it supposedly deterred hair balls.
ReplyDeleteThe last cat meme is looking hilarious
ReplyDeleteLacey does appear to be a very furry cat. I'm glad she hasn't gifted you with hairballs around the house.
ReplyDeleteOh Lacey lady, you need to learn how to brush yourself. I would imagine you gave up on grooming, due to the excess hair to just get inside, then barf like other cats with long hair. I'd imagine you're sitting there happily growing more fur as you purr.
ReplyDeleteMine also does not vomit. However, the hair is e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, I don't have a puker. He's a shedder, but I like to brush him and luckily, he enjoys being brushed.
ReplyDeletePS: perhaps it would help to think of it as kitty confetti. Paaaaaaarty!
ReplyDeleteWe all toss our cookies.
ReplyDeleteThere is a great little grooming tool called the Furminator that removes loose hair. One of our cats loves it. The other doesn't choose to be groomed, preferred to leave her hair all over.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness ... SAME. Only, my Sweetness DOES vomit hairballs. Sometimes even before COFFEE I have to clean that mess up! But it's always in her crate because she only does it during the night for some reason, and she sleeps in her huge cat condo that is like a big crate. Anyway, I guess for Lacey's fur letting go you could say either continually (which means frequently and regularly) or continuously (which means constantly with no stopping). Hahaha xoxo
