Oh Giok, between your brave and true confessions about your son's age, and Raedwulf's stimulating and therapeutic insights about pussy grooming, I'm feeling so much younger it's dangerous! Next thing you know I'll have blue hair and pierce my lips! (That's the northern lips, not the southern) ahem!

:>) Thanks!

Very interesting ideas about spinning cat/dog hair into wool, everyone. Who'da thought? MMario, I really enjoyed that link -- how do you find such unique and right-on-topic links? The only thing stopping me from trying to spin the Roo's hair is this part ...

"If you have a short-haired cat, or want something that is easier to spin, it was very much recommended to blend the cat fur with sheep wool instead of using pure cat fur."

Roo is short-haired, and there's unfortunately no room for a sheep in this little cottage. Too Baaaaad. Hey, maybe I could use my own hair instead! There's a big enough supply in the shower drain, and it's more than long enough ...

I really like her closing words ...

"It would be a wonderful memorial to still be able the enjoy the touch of Shmogg's fur on my skin long after he passes to Rainbow Bridge."

I never imagined that when the Roo's in the Happy Hunting Grounds, I might feel nostalgia for those 2 zillion hairs. Maybe there's a song in this somewhere ...

Will I be blue? Tell me, what will I do
When I'm free of the 2 zillion hairs on the Roo?

Hmmmm ... maybe not ....
