Repressed memory...
A comedy conversation

Demo's post about grooming a Poe reminded me of something from the other day. I went to a customer's house for a consultation and to measure her kitchen. She had a very cute gray Persian cat named Stella. When the woman greeted me at the door, she was holding a brush-thing in her hand covered in cat hair. The cat was sitting on the couch. I said, "Oh, were you grooming your cat?" The lady said, "No, I was getting her fur off her chair." The object I thought was a brush was one of those lint removers with the red fabric on them. She continued to clean off the chair, and took a bunch of cat hair into her hand and walked over to a side table next to the couch. She opened a drawer full of cat hair. She put the bunch of cat hair into the drawer and said, "I'm saving it--I have almost two pounds!" I was so confused about the drawer full of hair that I started babbling about a woman I used to do craft shows with who spun angora hair into yarn. I mentioned that I had read some people spin dog and cat hair into yarn as well. This woman indicated that she wasn't saving it for that reason, but didn't say why she was saving it. After that, I quickly changed the subject. By the way, she lives in a high-end part of town and owns two condos in the building. Her house was beautiful and full of nice art and furniture. By looking at her and speaking to her, one would never know she is Frost-ing crazy and has a drawer full of cat hair (which makes my nose start running by just thinking about it.)

Pillow stuffing? Pack rat? Strange fetish? Flea entomology? A present for her cousin Fratberry maybe?

My husband had an orange Persian cat for 13 years and I still haven't found his stash of cat hair.

She should open a store that specializes in kitty wigs and toupees, for all those cats who are...ummm...folically challenged.

This woman indicated that she wasn't saving it for that reason, but didn't say why she was saving it. Maybe she plans a terrorist attack at the next allergy congress.

Speaking from experience as a hoarder, she's probably just doing it for the heck of it. Perhaps curious as to how much she can collect before she has to get rid of it. It's just a thing some people do. I, for example, have nine empty altoid tins, thirty-three bottlecaps, and three empty vodka bottles in and around my desk. My closet has maybe 40 or 50 plastic bags, which I plan to recycle when I get around to it.

I have a couple more booze bottles in my room at home. I've only been 21 for a little while. I've only been able to collect what other people have bought for me. I suppose I do it becuase you never know when it'll come in handy. For example, last month I left my Brita filter at home. Rather than shell out $30 for a new one, I bought a refill filter and constructed a filter-pitcher out of two 2-liter soda bottles and some duct tape. My freshman year, when I shared a room and had the top bunk, I made a shelf out of cardboard and duct tape so I could keep my alarm clock and glasses by my bed. Also, I have coffee mug made from a human skull.

I can't wear any jewellery apart from solid gold of silver. Even belts with metal bits kill my tummy if they touch me at all and I have to cover the metal bits on the inside of pants from buttons. There's a very limited range of products I can use on my skin, and when I have an allergic reaction to pineapple it shows on my skin first. What I'm trying to say is, send me a cat-wool jersey if you want photos of me lying on the ground crying. You'd probably dye the cats first though, and make a jersey I'd wear anyway.

Aww, Jaggy, I'm the same way! I'm allergic to nickle and cobalt, which is what is used as filler in just about every kind of metal. So my jewelry has to be at least 18K gold, or at least 926 silver, and even some sterling pieces I have are starting to irritate me.
