Hi,
I had collies when i was young. They surely also gives a lot of hair
everywhere.
I learned that if you damp your hand and stroke gently to the wool, it goes
off very easy.
Used to do this on all our furnitures.

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. :)
