Like your remark about cat hair. I have two dogs, one of which sheds continually. When I step out for the evening, no matter how careful I am, I still have an abundance of dog hairs on my clothing. But I look at the bright side. It eliminates two questions. 1) Do I have a pet? 2) What color is she or he. We can then get on with more important issues like peace in the middle east, etc. I am a new quilter and just love all the postings on the Quilting Board.
