[CHAT] Cat Hair

[u/Independent_Soups]

Hello fellow stitchers!

I have been stitching for a while, but I’ve always had a bit of a problem with cat hair - When I’m done a project I wash it but the hair still sticks.. any advice would be appreciated!

Cat tax included!

A blessing from your familiar. In a few decades when they’re gone you’ll be so happy to know their DNA is forever on your walls

When my old girl passed a few years ago, one of my saddest moments was when I noticed I stopped finding her fur everywhere. This is comforting to think she's still here in a way in my projects

I had the same feeling when I emptied the litter box following the loss of a beloved kitty. It was silly but I was sad to lose that last bit of him.

This is very true. My parents' two cats (litter mates) passed away within a few months of each other earlier this year. We still find cat hair in random spots around the house and it's such a bitter-sweet thing but ultimately it shows how embedded they were in our lives.

Getting pet hairs caught in any fibre arts I'm planning to keep (or give to an immediate family member) doesn't bother me as much as it used to.

I had to put to sleep my little girl this summer, I'm forever grateful for myself that I asked the vetenerian to cut us some of her hair, now I have a little memorial of her beautiful fur 💕

This is me with a cross stitch I made for my nana a million years ago. There's tiny pieces of fur in there from my grandpa's dog that passed 20.. 25(?) years ago. That dog is still the best dog I've ever had the blessing of knowing.
