It’s our job.

Amanda – This is very relatable! I’m an artist as well and can relate! I love your drawings and especially the aloof picture of your kitties.

You seem to forget who the real owners of place really are. They will do whatever they want to do.

Sounds like a personal problem.

Just the one? The cats aren’t really trying, then.

“Lie down with dogs … " :-O

Cat hairs add texture to drawings, just like they add fiber to food.

You have a cat ~ you have cat hair…….everywhere!

We may still have cat hair somewhere in the house from cats that are long gone

Cat hair is forever

I had a cat (pictured left) who could do projectile shedding. I think it had something to do with static electricity. It’s one reason I now do most of my art on computer. I’m learning how to use a program that can realistically simulate ink flow, oil impasto and watercolor mixing and flow.

Ambient cat fur. It’s a fact.

I once opened a brand new jar of peanut butter, got a knife, and -

found one of my cat’s hairs on top of the peanut butter. He was NOT on that counter.

Cats are magical beings, and we all need to accept these little gifts! At least you’re not about to eat your art supplies.
