the kitten chronicles - part 196

Did you know that the average house cat sheds its own weight in fur every month? OK I made that up. Entirely. But if you had to vacuum the couch at Casa Big Cat you would think it was very possible. The lads shed great clumps of floating fur everywhere. And yet their coats remain mysteriously the same! They are two very dynamic hair growing machines. Really their hairball problems should be off the charts. I wish there was something constructive I could do with all this fur. Hats and mittens would be nice - hey, kitten mittens! Maybe you don't want the full-time responsibility of taking care of a cat. But with mittens made out of Rooney's fur you could pat yourself. Very soothing. Could be just the thing for hospitals and old age homes. When I get home tonight I'm going to empty the vacuum cleaner and start knitting. Kitten Knittin'! Even the name sounds soothing. xxx dad
