Would you were black pants if your friend had cats?  email this discussion to a friend?

Okay, I love my jeans, pants, and sweatshirts. Yet whenever I go to my friend's house, they come back covered in cat hair. She has five beautiful cats, but how can I avoid this? What I don't want to do is tell my friend she needs to vacuum and dust due to all the cat hair, for that would be rude of me. How would you deal with this, especially if your favorite pair of black pants was covered in white cat hair? It may seem like a little thing, and I know cats and dogs do shed, but do my clothes (pants) have to always pick their hair up?

This you will hav eto deal with going to your frineds house. I hav ea cat so I know about the hair. Lion sheds all the time. I sweep and use the cat sheeder thing and still cat balls every where. Your friend is most likly cleaning up after the cats. but with this many you can't run away from the hair. Either don't wear black or don't go to her house. Then you can't destroy your good jeans.

What a good friend you are. All animals shed as you say. Your clothes are not unique you will end up 'hairy' I'm afraid.

Not all! There are wheaten terriers and other such animals that don't shed (cause they have hair not fur, weird huh?) Then there are also short haired animals. Well anyways, that's not the issue in this discussion. Umm, I'd just be as careful as possible and not worry about getting hairy too much. But yea, going to his/her house you just gotta accept you're going to get hairy!

Hi. The only thing that you could do is either wear another color of pants that won't pick up the cat hair as badly. And you can wear something old that is not your favorite clothing. That is when the cats get hair on your clothes, it won't be such a big deal then. Or you can just limit your visit to her home. Hopefully, she will start to vacuum her home more so that the cat hair can be lessened.

Cats shed constantly, and their fine fur gets on everything. I have 5 cats, and believe me it is a chore to clean up after them and try to keep my guests from looking like them. :D

Before I had pets of my own, if I were visiting another friend who does have fuzzy beastlies, I would either choose clothes that don't absorb the hair like a magnet. A regular pair of jeans does not collect hair. Or I would simply not visit until she was my last stop and I was not going anywhere else, and if I could recycle my clothes the next day just brush them off with one of those pet hair remover brushes.

cellotape. it takes it right off. get the widest tape you can find, or duck tape. if it not too sticky you can wind it round your hand and stroke the cat with it as well, collects stray hairs.

My daughter has cats and dogs, but she has a habit of vacuuming every cushion and seat every time she vacuums floors. If you're really close, you should be able to say something about yourself getting her vacuum out to see how that would work if it were done once a week or so. Or if you don't want to do that, dress comfortably in clothes you don't mind getting hairy, or take a throw with you to her house to sit on. I take a throw to my Mom's when I take my chihuaua over, so my pet won't get hairs on her furniture.
