second-hand cat hair

[cellio]

The laundry goes from the washer to the dryer to the basket to the dresser drawers, without interruptions. Once a shirt comes out of the dresser, it doesn't get back in except through this chain. The cats have never succeeded in opening the dresser drawers.

Given all that, how is it that I can remove a shirt from the dresser, put it on, and see cat hair on it almost immediately? Yeah, the stuff is undoubtedly in the air, waiting to attack, like pollen, but this isn't quite how I expected that to work somehow....

Maybe the dryer isn't doing its secondary job (lint removal) as well as it should. I'll have to pay more attention.

My clothes come out of the wash with clumps of tangled cat hair that's stuck on pretty well; while the dryer gets some of them out, others just seem to get spread out and then trapped.

It's jst one of the costs of having cats, I guess. :)
