We Fur the Birds
Our yellow cat cannot start her day until she is groomed. So I sit in the floor and brush her with a grooming mitt. Of course, the mitt fills up with shedded fur fairly quickly.
My wife cleans the mitt and puts the fur in a suet hanger near the bird feeder.
The little birdies use the fur to build nests.
Anyone else do this?

I would've thought the smell off the fur would keep the birds away. If they build nest with it, well that's just cool.
And that is a lot of fur. How big is the cat? Picture?0 -
That is a lot of fur. Looks like you could build a second cat with that!

When we brush our dogs outside, it looks like someone sheared a sheep. After a day or two most of the hair disappears. 0 -

Just an average chubby house cat. That is several day's fur.

I save dryer lint in a small plastic bottle to carry when I'm hunting - great fire starter!0 -

They sheared him every summer.One summer the grandsons got the idea to leave a huge mane and a ball of fur at the tip of his tail....several reports were made to the newspaper about a lion being spotted in the vicinity of the family farm.
