Well, I've lived with cats all my life so, no, a little cat hair
doesn't bother me on my clothes or on my friends. Unless I'm going
for a job interview and then I want the navy suit to be as clean as
I can get it.
But the problem I have with our costumes is that the wool gown seems
to attract an unusually heavy amount of lint, dust, cat hair, people
hair and heaven knows what else to it. I've already gone through one
lint roller and I'm working on a second just trying to keep the
thing from looking like it's been drug through a barn. I can go
through a yard of packing tape just cleaning the sleeve.
It's ok that it looks like a gown worn by a man who owns a cat.
Right now it looks like it's a gown owned by a homeless man who
sleeps in the stable with the dogs. That's not the image I'm going
for with this outfit. :)

Have you tried putting the dress in your clothes dryer (on air only,
no heat) with a damp towel? It helps pull a lot of stuff out of the fabric.
