You should try having a golden retriever now they do moult. I have a few cats and a goldie, but it is the goldies fur that gets everywhere, but I have found that if I give her more expensive food she moults less - not very money saving, though!

That actually looks very much like my younger cat (daughter to older one) only she has a couple of tortie patches and a stripy tail

You wouldnt say that if you had seen one! But we do call them fluffy rats. Surprisingly they are not at all fat under all that fur - they are skinny little things. Very agile, and the most inteliigent small animals ever, not dull like guinea pigs or rabbits.

I've never actually owned a chinchilla (one of the few animals we never got around to keeping) but one of the surgeries I worked at was within a Pets @ Home and they had a few for sale, the standard grey and also a mink coloured morph. I used to go out in my breaks to give them a cuddle they were so cute, but I know what you mean about dropping clumps of fur if they don't want to be handled :eek:

It's one of their defence mechanisms and it's their dense fur that makes them look so rotund and they're only about the actual size of a large rat beneath

I too fight the losing battle with cat fur. I've accepted that it's impossible to totally eradicate it. Try not too wear black so much these days and when out shopping I'll look at something and think 'just how badly will the cat hairs show on this'. No velvet for me then! The other thing I've had to do away with is teatowels. They get hung up, the cats don't sleep on them, how come they attract so many cat hairs. Stick to kitchen roll now ( the cheapest sort).
