The issue with cat hair is that it never seems to disappear, no matter how often you sweep, vacuum, and dust. It also makes no difference how many lint rollers you purchase. It appears that it will never totally vanish. It can be found practically anywhere… in floor cracks, on the surfaces of your furnishings, and, worst of all, all over your clothes!
While some cat owners are irritated by their cats’ excessive shedding, others have chosen to accept it and use the fallen hair instead of tossing it away. Try it as a needle felting medium, for example! Those unfamiliar with the hand-felting method might be interested in learning more. It entails placing a felting needle repeatedly into a rolled-up wad of fur on a cushion or pad—the barbs on the hand help to hold the fur strands together, resulting in a larger body.
Because the hair shafts of dogs and cats have scales, they can have their hair felted, and fur can also be felted in the same way. However, it could take a little longer and require more work because the finished product might be smoother than when using wool or another type of hair.

Meet Minira, a cute cat who has recently attracted a lot of attention.
It is common practice for many pet owners to brush their fluffy friends once a week. We had previously talked about needle felting and were dead serious about it! Minira’s owner, who knitted the miniature shoes for her cat, was as devoted to her pet.
Fur should be stored in a cloth bag rather than a plastic bag since it can mildew if wrapped in plastic. After removing around 4 ounces of pet hair, gently wash it in a bowl of warm water with either shampoo or dish soap, depending on your choice or what you have on hand.
Almost everyone has heard of cats (and other animals) shedding excessively, with clearing season occurring around twice a year.
After the fur has dried, hand-card it to prepare it for use in larger projects (such as cat-sized shoes). Add some wool to the mix if the hair is less than 4 inches long. Doesn’t that sound like a beautiful time?
We’d like to hear whether you, Hot Flav, want to try needle felting using your pet’s fur. What conclusions would you take if that’s the case?
As cat owners, we usually do everything we can to remove the cat fur from our clothes and other areas of the house. Minira’s owner, however, had a different strategy in mind.
The owner needle felted a pair of little shoes out of the cat’s accumulated fur over the years!
Minira was perplexed by the present he had received from his owner.
My cat’s fur was brushed off to make some cat-sized slippers, which was far too adorable. He has a sense of scale because of how noticeable his feet are. “I’m not taking it, lol!” Her opinions were posted on Twitter.
