The ball of hair next to Gracie is just from brushing one side of her.
That's all stuff she won't be shedding onto my furniture.
(She's not considered to be a long-haired cat, by the way.)

Now there's a project.
We groomed 3 of the 5 cats who let us share their home last Sunday. I considered saving all the hair to spin into yarn for when the economy totally tanks and we have to be self-sufficient, but decided instead to put it around the garden as a deer deterrent.
I have heard of folks who have spun dog hair into yarn, so it can be done.
I saw a lady at a Scottish folk festival making yarn directly off a rabbit. She had a great big, fat, long-haired bunny lying in her lap, contentedly munching carrots while she gently pinched bits of fur off and fed it into a thread on a spinning wheel, while slowly pumping its pedal. Other ladies around her were knitting the yarn into expensive sweaters at an impressive clickety-clack rate.
If Biteypants would let me brush him, he wouldn't get shaved (or the dreaded asswash!).
That's it then! I'm going to learn to spin and knit! The boy can keep peeing around the edge of the garden to keep the deer out!
CrankyP, I have the same issues with George, which is why he now gets a "lion cut" every Spring.
