Dougy loves being brushed. Even a little brushing fills the head of the brush like this:
I have to hide the hair as soon as possible after I brush Dougy, though, because he wants to eat it. Ugh!

Ugh is right. LOL. Happy new year.
Hate to guess how many times that’s happened over the years….!
lol. *gag* and i mean me, not the fine diner.
I used to get handfuls of hair after brushing my Eskie. I could have made another dog from it. I wonder why cats try to eat the hair? I understand that they get “hairballs” after self-grooming but why would they want to eat hair that is now separate from them. I never understood that.Merry Christmas Doug, I pray your holiday was richly blessed. Happy New year as well.
And the same to you, Tina! I’m enjoying your blog because it presents some translation challenges along with a trenchant point of view I like! Is it a northern German characteristic? LOL! Anyway, pica (eating of non-food items) apparently is common enough in cats. Andy wants to eat cellophane or candy-type wrappers. I have to ditch these materials in the deep trash as soon as I generate them or the little rascal’s chewing away on them! Dougy likes to eat cat hair. I take it from his mouth when I see him trying to eat it. Strange kitty behaviors….!
Cats are unique creatures with equally unique behaviors! Maybe they enjoy the different textures on their rough tongues? I am glad you are liking my writings. I have been majorly slacking and need to get back to it! Have a very blessed 2016 with an abundance of smiles and very few tears. God Bless you and keep you safe in all things. Enjoy your little bundles of fur.
Thanks! And they same to you! I know how managing a blog can become sometimes a chore. I go through an occasional dry spell where it seems I’ve done and said everything new I might do or say. In fact, I’m in such a spot right now, which is why I missed a couple days around the holidays.
Understandable. Taking each day, each moment for what it is and trying to see how we could possibly make it better.
Exactly!
Oh yes, and I hope you had a great Christmas and 2016 is a wonderful year for you, Tina!
Better that you brush it off than he coughs it up! 🙂
Amen to that! I inevitably stepoin a cold, slimey hairball barefooted in the dark, and the sensation is, erm, disquietening….!
That is funny. There is a book that came out a few years ago about crafting with cat hair. I looked at the book, but don’t think I will make anything.
I have a feeling a sweater made with Persian cat fur would be extremely dense and hot! On the other hand, it would rival cashmere for softness….!
That’s a lot of hair! Lucio doesn’t generate quite that much but can come close…. 🙂
Merry Christmas to you and the boys, Doug!
Dougy puts it out at a prodigious level. Andy doesn’t have as thick an undercoat, so yields almost no hair when you brush him. You’ll notice in the photo that the fur is a soft grey in color, which is all undercoat.
