If you're allergic to cats don't read this post

For any of you who come to my house and leave with an extra layer of fur, I'm sorry, but I want you all to know I'm trying my best. I brushed Lou today with the dethatching brush and this is what I got before she managed to break free. If I didn't brush her this would eventually be floating around the house waiting to attach itself to your pants.Here's a shot of her next to it for perspective. I'm surprised there's a cat left, the pile is as big as her. She's just so fluffy. I was thinking about my new sleeping bag and its fancy "800 loft" and I was wondering what Lou's "loft" is and how warm a sleeping bag stuffed with her fur would be. It packs down almost as well as down does...

In the meantime just try not to wear black when you come over. I do what I can but spring is shedding season.
