Tuesday, September 2, How to lint roll a cat. As many of you know, my cat, Flora full name Flora Adorable , likes to keep me company while I work. Which is fine, in theory. The problem is that Flora weighs over 15 pounds, has got to be at least two feet long when stretched out which is her favorite position , and has a serious shedding problem.

However, after vacuuming off the keys on my IBM ThinkPad a while back while trying to extricate her hair from the keyboard , I went in search of a different solution. I had tried using one of those pet grooming gloves -- you know, the ones with the raised rubber cleats to gently remove pet hair. But more times than not, I got more hissing than cat hair when I tried to use it. That's when my spouse teasingly suggested I tried lint rolling Flora, as I happen to keep a lint roller just two feet away from me in my office.

Et voila! A new shed control system was born. Most of the time, Flora enjoys a gentle lint rolling. However, occasionally, she rebels. Want to know the proper way to lint roll your or any cat? Watch this short instructional video my daughter and I put together over the long weekend. She was the cinematographer -- and the one giggling.

And feel free to share it with fellow cat lovers. I don't know if it causes a similiar reaction as catnip or just what, but she goes crazy for it. I WISH my cat loved the vacuum. That would be great! Instead I just have a labrador who likes to attack the wand tool when I vacuum edges and furniture. Well, it was a success. Sammie also likes tape envelope glue, box tape, etc. Bites it, licks it.

I brought out the roller, let her smell it and then rubbed it gently on her. First time she was like, "Huh? Whatcha doin'? Body, tail, legs. I think it might help with the amount of cat hair in the house. My kitten does that all the time. When I rip off a sheet to change it and put it in the garbage, she'll go in it just so she can lick it.
