One of my big questions is, how the hell does cat hair GET into closed tubes of mascara, anyway????

Grooming Stella is rather like de-thatching a lawn -- she has so many layers and types of hair. Her white fluffy belly hair sheds year round onto the carpets - I use a 'slicker' brush on it. Her long top coat hairs shed the most in the spring - I use a steel tooth comb to untangle this layer & brush out the tail. The body undercoat hair is a fine dense hair that mats if left alone - after using the comb I then use a Furminator to de-thatch this layer. The 'Scaredy-Cut' scissors are still very effective for her butt & leg feather trims.
It's like grooming a miniature Golden Retriever!
And yes, I too have found cat hair in sealed tubes, bottles, etc. My Swiffers end up with hair clouds larger than my head!
And yesterday Stella gifted me with a hairball the size of a sausage link! She grooms constantly too!
