Iron Pony Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well maybe not wool but does anyone out there need about a cubic yard of cat fur? Going to get the furminator out and give my furry little friends another going over. The way these things shed they all ought to be as bald as I am. Got the AC going too, weather weenies are predicting mid-90s and high humidity for the next several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I was currying and trimming up the horses and mules today. With a couple of the mules, I got so much hair off of them that I could practically make a coat!!! It was disgusting. But, on the other hand, the mules look pretty spiffy now.

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 You think you have problems? Try 200 pounds of German Shepherd fuzz machines. My 125 pound male blowing his coat, and the 70 pound female is about to. That's life in the furry lane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've got a 20+ lb. cat that's a shedding machine Our long coat dachsy is shedding as well, but not like that cat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Australian Shepherds aren't exactly shed-proof either. Add three cats, and a Jack Russell to the mix and it equals big fun. Fortunately the Border Collie pup isn't sheeding. Oh, did I mention I am allergic to cats and dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Glove, SASS #50276 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Welcome to my world.... 9 wolves who shed 15-20 yards of fur EACH!! Even the Furminator is overwhelmed! Looks like the inside of a cotton mill! Sold several compressed zip top bags on ebay to people who make knitted scarves and such. No... really. Not kidding.... Seriously...!

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Add my Labrador to the mix. How can a short haired dog shed a cubic foot of fur on a daily basis? If I didn't use a Furminator, it'd be worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I have a 45 pound smooth hair Portuguese Podengo. Everything he eats turns to hair. He "blows" his coat twice a year and sheds like crazy the rest of the time. I've used tufts of his hair to decorate a couple of knife sheaths, a fringed elk skin a rifle sleeve, a belt pouch, and a feather for every hat I own.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I am through shedding. It is just a big waste of time. From now on, I am going for the chrome dome look. Anybody want pictures of my underwear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Another use for cat hair: Around these parts of the world you can buy a catfish stinkbait called Punch Bait. It called that because it stinks so bad you use a stick to punch your hook into it, not your fingers. Anyhow, in addition to all the slimy stinky nasty stuff they put in the bait, they also use cat hair. It helps the whole mix to stick together and stay on your hook. Fortunately, something in the metabolism of catfish manages to turn that stinkin' stuff into delicious, flaky, mild, pure white meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Pony Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 If I could make a sweater out of my Maine Coons fur I'd probably be set for any winter weather up here but orange isnt my color. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.539411284045.2042009.74401587#!/photo.php?fbid=539442855775&set=a.539411284045.2042009.74401587&type=1&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
