How to remove cat hair from fleece

My first item!

Today I finally learned how to remove pesky cat hair from a fleece blanket.  I suppose these tricks would also work on other fabrics but removing it fleece is like scaling Mt. Everest (at least to me). Here are the two tricks I learned today:

1) Use a dryer softener sheet. Of course, why didn't I think of that? Duh!
2) Get a pair of rubber, household gloves and put a little bit of water in the palm of your hands.  Then start rubbing the fabric and the cat hair just balls up in your hands (like nasty hair balls but at least not from your cat's insides-yuck!).

I have spent a lot of money on lint brushes and tape rollers and those are as effective as....well...you get the idea...

Finally, I can salvage more than one blanket my wonderful cat has "catified".

Why this blog....

I am creating this blog as a repository of random stuff I learn from day to day.  However, as I swiftly approach middle age, I'm afraid to the good ol' noggin isn't going to be able to retain as much as it used to so hence, this blog.
