    My friend felted the dog fur into a sweater for her hairless cat. Felters truly are the trash goblins of the art world.

    I am the owner of a black fabric couch and a large dog with longish, mostly white fur. It’s a battle against windmills.

    And that’s the single main reason I don’t want another cat after my two cats died, a few years ago. Love cats, but living in an apartment makes dealing with hair a real struggle.

    Barn cats are peak cat. You get to play with them outside, they eat rodents, they don’t come inside and ruin everything.

      Yeah, fuck the local wildlife if it means you don’t have to deal with the hair of your pet being on your couch.

        Do you get upset about the coyotes and bears that live outside? Do you get upset some people avoid homes filled with pet dander, and their petless homes are cleaner than others?

          This is the worst argument I’ve ever heard in defense of outdoor cats. Granted, there are zero legitimate arguments for outdoor cats, so managing to find such a shitty reason is actually kind of impressive.

            I cannot care less, pets are a luxury. Enjoy your fuzzy furniture. Farm animals live in a barn.

          No, because they are not hunting bird and small animal species to extinction.

          They’re also part of the native ecosystem so anything they do kill is generally for subsitence, and not impactful to the ecosystem they’ve existed with for thousands of years.

          Barn cats just kill for fun.

      This is why nerf darts are strictly banned from my home. It’s like they multiply after the first one is lost under a couch cushion

        I will see your Nerf darts, and raise you airsoft BBs. I still find the cats playing with one every now and again, or pick up a stray one with the vacuum cleaner. I can’t remember firing an airsoft gun inside the house at any time more recently than about 15 years ago. And yet.

      Years ago (2019), my ex and I bought those little magnetic balls for our kids. To this day she is still finding those balls all over her house.

      ~It’s the gift that keeps on giving.~

    And that’s why I have leather couches. You don’t see the hair until you need to move the cushions, then you have little mountains to vacuum up. Or, put the cushion back down and watch your living room turn into a snow globe
