Removing Cat hairs from Fleece

Try duct tape

Jon has it right–wrap the cat completely with duct tape, then mail it to Stuart as a Christmas present. No more cat hair on your fleece, ever. I suggest using red and green duct tape, to be consistant with the season.

The addition of fur will increase warmth. You love that cat don't you?

Only three sane paths:

buy new fleece, after getting rid of the cat and replacing all carpets
stop using fleece – nylon shells are wonderful
accepting and embracing the cat fur.

I need to put a warning sticker on my pack to ward off allergic people. Sat next to a guy once and nearly triggered anaphylaxis.

Hi Ken,

I better not let the Sul crowd know or they
will want my cars hair :-)

Hi Lori,

I hear you on that, luckily enough it's only
my around town fleece and not my good ones.

Washing it and running it through the dryer does the best job for me. Not perfect but gets most of the fur out.

Nice suggestion there Gary! My dog would have a heart attack chasing after the duct tape covered cat. And even if he caught the cat, I think I know who would come off worse. Stephen's cat is a killer.

What I want to know is why cat hair and the like gets there to begin with. Does fleece have some sort of magnetic quality? Anybody around here old enough to remember cassette tape decks? I once had a high-end Nakamichi Dragon machine, and the instructions suggested the use of a special cassette to occasionally de-magnetize the tape heads for enhanced performance. So what if we came up with a way to de-magnetize our fleece? You know, like the way they treat goose down to purportedly "waterproof" it? Engineers are needed here. David Thomas, I'm looking at you.

We've got to find a way to save Stephen's cat from being sent to Boulder, where he will most certainly kill Stuart's dog. Boulder hates when things like that happen.

cat hair, CharlieDog hair, all things fleece – OMG it makes me crazy. And Chuck is going through his bi-annual molting that is literally COMICAL in the amount of hair that comes off him. I just paid PetSmart $90 for a bath and a Furminator (TM) to supposedly help with shedding. Needless to say there is the same amount of hair coming off him now than as before.

I think the only solution is a shaved dog or cat, and only wear things made of nylon.

Otherwise, just embrace it – and I say to never trust anyone who doesn't have animal hair on them.

And then there's these: http://www.stickysheets.com

Playtex dishwashing gloves (one of the suggestions in Doug I's link), and they're better with a little water (a few drops) on them.

Doesn't work as well in the winter due to higher static electricity, but of course that depends entirely on your local weather…

Folks, with all due respect, you're all going about this the wrong way. What is the original and best cat hair remover?

A rough, raspy, slightly moist cat tongue! So, pick up cat, lightly squeeze sides till they stick their tongue out, wipe fabric down. Voila, works like a charm. It's the least they can do, having covered it all with their hair to begin with.

Nair

Plotting revenge no doubt.

Have you tried vacuuming?

the fleece, I meant.

"Her name is Cailin, which is Irish for girl."

Certainly nicer than Diabhal

"Her name is Cailin, which is Irish for girl."

Let us never say that the Irish aren't creative ;)

Reminds me of one of our neighbors whom has many cats. When we asked him what the different names were, consistently he replied, "Cat".

My girlfriend desperately wants a cat.

I keep finding my girlfriend's hair in my fleece.

Please advise, all.

Max, you could try to keep your girfriend and the cat in the garage, and store your fleece in the guest bedroom closet. But I expect that they would each find their ways into the 2 bedrooms. No way to win, unless you come up with the way to de-magnetize fleece. I assume that you've been working on that one, right, with David?
