30 to 50 millions

That’s the number of hair on a cat, roughly. With 2 cats at home, this means we have around 60 to 100 millions of cat hair in the place. And a significant amount of them on my trousers.

Given the number I guess I should just surrender. I vacuumed on Saturday before our guests arrived and Sunday I repeated the operation as clouds of cat hair were flying around. I brushed both for a significant time and what do I find this morning… more cat hair on the floor.
Maybe I should put each cat directly under the vacuum cleaner and get all the hair about to fall. But even with this desperate measure, given the pace at which cats grow hair, it will be another desperate cause.

Something tells me it’s a war I can’t win.
