Coughing Hairballs
I’ve always been a cat-lover. I love the sleek way they slink around and their lean, muscular build. Like most boys I chased them around when I was much younger, but only because I wanted to pit my speed against theirs.
In my adolescence the thought of owning a cat was not entirely adverse to me, but when face to face with the prospect of having my furniture scratched up and made into a makeshift litterbox I shuddered. I’ve read about how you can make scratching posts for them and potty-train them while their young, but the fur-shedding is unstoppable. You’ll get cat-hair on your food, your clothes and on the inside of your PC.
After many hours of housework, I now understand why there are plenty more women cat-owners than men. Women shed way more hair in a day than any cat in its lifetime. After Faith is done using the hair-dryer, she leaves behind a miniature rainforest in her wake. It’s no wonder the problem of cat-hair doesn’t faze the female species.
I still love cats. I’d hate for them to be bald. Isn’t there a better way for us to live together?

How about dogs? :)
There's a pretty kitty roaming around in my school's canteen. She's a young orange cat. She's got big inquisitive eyes and a loud meow. So cute! :)
we've eight cats (and hopefully not counting). cats are the best. but yes, the fur - it's everywhere - but as long as you're diligent about the vacuuming you'll find very little other dirt because the cats pick up dust! :)
It's really not as bad.I've had more than ten years of having seven of them.They have a natural instinct to use the litter tray.There are several breeds,if you are interested in pedigree,that are more docile and do not scratch your furnitures to death.One good breed is the exotic shorthair.I guess having hair all over has become a part of my life.
