cables, the hair was also throughout everything from the keyboard and
mouse to the CPU. Not just a few strands, but quite a lot of it.
Quite nasty...
Hmm, I have a kitty who spends some time in the computer
room...there's one particular machine in there that moves a LOT of air
and needs its filters cleaned frequently, but aside from that I've had
no issues with kitty fur.
And even if that weren't the case...my cat is one of the best friends
I've ever had, so if letting her go where she wants means some extra
filter cleaning for me, then so be it!
A single cat isn't much of a problem, but the woman I'm
referring to has a dozen or more. Even her office has more than it's
share of cat hair, as she's worked in it for about 15 years. That
many cats make a bit of a difference!
