Today millions of cat owners awakened to what is commonly known as "The Terible Tumbleweeds," a feline problem that is especially noticeable in the kitchen and on hardwood floors. From around April to September, various degrees of immense shedding takes place, the density of which depends on your cat's breed. The rolling balls of excess hair start to form, almost magically, within minutes after you have vacuumed the carpet or mopped the floor.

The good news is, pet-lovers who enter your home understand this horrible curse and they will either refrain from mentioning the extra hair or just joke about it. Folks who own cats (and dogs, to some degree) understand the almost Biblical saying that has been passed on for centuries, "If you have animals, you can't have a really clean house."It's impossible, so don't worry about it. Now, when it comes to other cat refuse, that's a different story. But the kitty hair bundles are just a part of the deal. On the other hand, you have the wonderful feeling of unconditional love that real cat lovers understand.

As for the NON-cat lovers who might not understand this seemingly seasonal pet problem, I would have to put them in the same catgegory that includes people who don't like dogs...or pizza...or free stuff. There is something about them that's just not normal.

So embrace your tumbling tumbleweeds, cat-lovers! They are but a small downside of the warm and cozy world of having cuddly critters inhabit your home.

Just remember... never wear black and always carry a lint brush in the car.
