The Furminator

Lucy, our incredibly old, yet endearing cat is a hair monster. It is starting to be unreasonable. I’m not sure what it is about her old age that has made her hair thicken (don’t old people usually get thin hair?), but it has.

You can now pull her hair out in tufts without her really even knowing it. Weird.

Well, the time has come for action, and Nate's friend at work gave us her amazing cat brush to try out.

THE FURMINATOR

Yup, that is its name...and this is the result

Is that a photo of her _playing_ with her own ball of fur?

Nate Hanson said...

No Alex, Lucy is too old to 'play' anymore. Usually twice a year right before bedtime she'll get excited enough to bat and paw at Greta. This photo was highly staged with Greta and I herding her just outside the shot.

Greta you could knit up a whole new kitten if you and your buds had stayed focused and learned to knit...

My goodness! I've never seen so much fur come out from a cat. At least not as a fur ball. LOL!
But really... cleaning that much hair must be quite a chore!
