During the months of the dog moulting, slip onto the pooch's paws the moulting socks which have Velcro under soles and let it walk around collecting all the unwanted hairs,(well some of them)then remove the hair into the bin or simply weave a cap for your cat.

"Malting"? I was looking forward to seeing how to make really *good* beer from really *bad* socks. |
|
|
Can i have those socks [lurch] for my Feralbot ? |
|
|
Just hope you don't want a matched pair. |
|
|
Anyway, back to the idea... If you're using the hook side of the velcro, and the dog walks across the carpet - |
|
|
Didn't we already have a Cat Immobilizer? |
|
|
//hook side of the velcro// are you suggesting it wont work? |
|
|
Sorry, I had it wrong. A previous idea was the "Cat Incapacitator", which would render a cat stationary. I figured that given certain weaves of carpet, the velcro hooks might securely anchor the dog. |
|
|
Cat/Dog *BIG* difference unless you have one of those pug thingy's i'm talking Digby. |
|
|
<seuss>Fox on box in moulting socks.</seuss> I liked it better spelled the other way. |
|
|
I like this idea. croissant |
|
|
[admin: changed spelling in title malting -> moulting]
I'll leave the rest for the author. |
|
|
Now it reads even better! Socks that moult. Great. Where do I get them. I just can't wait to clear up all those bits of yarn that drop uncontrollably from my socks. |
|
|
Malting/Moulting..google search...yep,...thanx |
|
|
the best material for these hair catchers would be an electrostatically charged cloth. or you could just tie Swiffer© sheets, or any house cleaning product in that vain, onto your dog's paws. |
|
|
It wouldn't hurt to have an easy way to pick up all that dog and cat hair. But I just have a feeling that skinflaps can get along happily amidst the stuff. |
|
|
Or even better than [goostas] suggestion. Tie squares of "Swifter" material around the feet of a bunny [rabbit], feed it a handful of Mexican jumping beans, and let it hop around like mad for about 2 days. That should do it. |
|
|
[bliss] ooooh, so much better, so much faster... think of the uses for a hopped up bunny [rabbit]... |
|
|
Fussy note to [st3f]: "molt" is the preferred American spelling of the British "moult." |
|
|
Is it really snarfy? I've always said "moult". But, then again, I'm from the south, we always are a bit backwards... |
|
|
[barnz] they are talking about shedding, not mold. |
|
|
Isn't molting what birds and reptiles do? I've always taken it to mean the complete (or nearly so) loss of existing skin cover and that it is initiated by growth. Shedding I've always taken to be a more selective type of loss and tending to be seasonal (summer coat/winter coat). Where's [susen] when you need her? |
|
|
Not as far as one might think, thankfully. |
|
|
bliss and goos: No need for jumping beans, thanks. We rabbits are already hopped up. If you want to hop us up even more, the best way is to, well, you know. |
|
|
Uhmmm... take you out for a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee, perhaps? |
|
|
Or you could just try the anti-shedding suit... [link] we
could make 'em for dogs too. |
|
|
Didn't XsX have an idea for a de-shedding room or wall? Must go look. |
