Pet Hair Removal Wonder
You know how I keep complaining about pet hair invading my personal space and life? Well, I think I found a solution. While browsing through the supermarket, I came across a fantastic, new Pledge product: the Fabric Sweeper. It’s cheap and it works. After bringing my brand-new purchase home and trying it out on the hair-infested furniture, the worn out look came off and bright colors started showing through. The impossible white and black hairs were gone after a quick sweep! The best part is knowing I won’t have to traumatize the cats with the vacuum anymore (OK, maybe once in a while).
This is a must buy!!

Cat Truth #1: cat hair clings to everything.
I woke up this morning, walked to the living room (about 3 steps away from my bed), felt something tickling my feet, and noticed they were covered in cat hair. Usually, I cope with this, since it’s part of the feline package, but Dang it! I had vacuumed the day before. Twice! Smelling defeat in the air, I went online and Googled away, finding many a site and forum offering the same advice over and over again. There’s not much you can do about cats when it comes to their fur. It all goes back to diet, grooming frequently, and sometimes, pesky skin conditions. If you keep up with the hair brush and buy them good food (usually, veterinarians recommend Science Diet), you’ll be able to control excessive shedding. You can also get a shed-free cat, which is a bit creepy. Regardless of the woes, there’s always an answer hidden amongst the clumps of hair, even if it means paying a visit to the vet.
Now, concerning the carpet, furniture, and clothes…

Sifting through clumps of litter is disgusting. Kneeling on the floor, mastering the use of the scooper, and keeping your pet from jumping in as you clean is dishonorable. The embarrassment of a visitor catching a sniff of the ammonia can reach mortifying levels. And lets not forget about the gag factor.
But you love your cat, so you must make amends.
