I developed a tolerance for all the "cat hair" jokes I get from SCA friends. ;o) Basically, I do my best to keep the period clothing as far away from easy feline access as possible, and if I'm going to be sitting on something in the house when garbed, I make sure I've vacuumed, etc. I have 4 cats, with every possible color combination (one flame-point siamese, one half Maine Coon, one shaggy calico, and one ginger), so it doesn't do me much good to look for compatible colors. ;o) --Sue
