Protip:
If you have a black cat, do NOT wear a white shirt in the middle of shedding season. Especially when you have choir rehearsal later in the day.

Especially especially when you can't find your lint roller.

At this point I've just given up on wearing this shirt tonight, and I'll change before I head out.

@elmiller0330 Wise decision! I no longer have a cat, but I can relate.

Minor tangent - what many folks without cats don't know is that certain cats (tabby cats and others) have individual hairs that are striped or ticked so that the dark and light sections alternate on a single hair. I think this is also called agouti.

Anyway, I used to say that my cat's hair was specially designed to show up on either dark or light colored clothing!

@sindarina @ahimsa_pdx I spent years trying to keep Orion off my choir concert clothes because he was very good at shedding only the white hairs.

When you say "in the middle of shedding season" which 12 months are you referring to

@anne Oh, all of them. But especially spring.
