I use an old cat brush to brush the fur off where my four ragdolls lay. It works really well. Good luck and glad you're able to quilt again.

Use a latex glove and rub off. Also rubber tipped broom.

Amazing how much hair can come off an animal - and they still look like they have a decent coat!

Try a slightly dampened sponge. A few years ago, I bought a sponge block in the cat dept at the local pet store just to remove the hair off my dark eggplant chenille furniture. It worked well but as usual, it eventually turned up missing. Now I just take a regular sponge, wet it and then wring the heck out of it to get any excess water out of it. It works just as well as the one that I paid more money for!!

The very best thing I've found for cat fur removal is the Scotch 3M Fur Fighter. I have a large, long haired black cat. It'll pull cat fur out of fabric you can't even see!

I work with animals and this is what I do at work when I get covered in hair

latex gloves work great. you can even use them on your animals to help rid them of their loose hairs. of course i take my cats outside on the back porch to rub them down with the gloves and let the hair blow in the wind. the birds use the hair for their nests so it gets recycled.

Suggestion: I have now switched to cat (and dog) proof utility quilts like the strippy rag one photographed below and don't even consider making anything else in this animal loving home environment. I live in peace with the little devils now (and cotton flannel does not attract cat/dog hair like I thought it would-even with a black background):

Who knew a Lab/Basset hound would shed worse than a Golden Retriever? Well, my Leo loves to *help* so I know from dog hair... LOL! I, too, use a slightly damp rag of some sort & then a roller. I recently got a fabulous re-usable roller at Wal-Mart. Instead of sticky tape stuff, it has a kind of heavy velvet fabric that really works. Then you twist it & the hair all goes into a compartment that you then empty out. It's GREAT!

Feel better! BTW... I think your kitty was just keeping your quilt company while Mommy was gone... LOL!
