Hilarious Cat Memes Capturing the Never-Ending Battle Against Feline Fur

You're dressed, you're ready to leave, and then you look down. Cat hair. All over the shirt you could've sworn was clean five minutes ago. Out comes the lint roller for what has to be the third time today.

Cat owners spend a lot of time removing fur from things, only for it to immediately come back. We vacuum the couch and the cat takes a nap on it. We wash our sheets and they jump onto the bed. We fold a pile of clean laundry and suddenly that's the best sleeping spot in the entire house. Sometimes it feels like they're watching us clean and waiting for their chance to undo it.

Black clothes are especially risky if you have a light-colored cat. One cuddle before leaving the house and everyone you see that day gets to know you have a pet. We've definitely been out somewhere, looked down at our clothes, and started picking off hairs one by one. At a certain point, you just have to decide which ones are worth removing.

Then shedding season hits and things get even hairier. You brush your cat and pull out a clump of fur. Then another. Then another. You look at the growing pile, look back at the cat, and wonder how they still have so much left.

That is, if brushing is even allowed. Plenty of cats love it, but plenty of others would rather keep every loose hair attached to their body until they're ready to deposit it directly onto your pillow.

After enough time with cats, you start building fur removal into your routine. There's a lint roller near the door. Maybe another one in a bag. The vacuum gets a workout. You learn not to leave clean clothes sitting somewhere accessible unless you're willing to wash them again.

None of this stops us from making the problem worse. The cat walks over while we're wearing a clean shirt, and we're still picking them up. They climb into bed, and we're still letting them under the covers. They settle onto our lap, and we're definitely not moving them just to protect our pants.

So the fur stays. On the couch, on our clothes, in our bags, and probably on whatever we're wearing right now.

We can lint roll later. The cat wants cuddles.

There's a difference

via @The Two Crazy Cat Ladies
It’s true that cat hair can bring us a little bit of joy when it reminds us of our cattos. Finding a stray hair stuck to a sweater while we’re away from home can instantly make us think of the furry friend waiting for us. Sure, we might complain about constantly lint rolling everything we own, but those little pieces of fluff can also feel like tiny reminders of our favorite felines.

You should be grateful

via @Lyoll
Cats probably think we should be honored to have their hair all over our homes. Why would we possibly want a fur-free couch when they’ve worked so hard to cover every cushion? In their minds, they’re not making a mess. They’re generously leaving little pieces of themselves on our clothes, blankets, pillows, and furniture. Really, we should be thanking them for their contribution to the decor.

Make it 100%

via @plowythecat
At this point, all pawrents are basically 100% cat hair. It’s on our clothes, in our beds, stuck to our socks, and probably floating around in our coffee somewhere. We can lint roll and vacuum as much as we want, but the cattos are always producing more. Eventually, we just have to accept that the fur has become part of us. If you leave the house without at least a few cat hairs attached, are you even a pawrent?
