I have this tiny but mighty cat, Chamomile. She doesn’t like other cats, but is otherwise sweet. I have been struggling with how to keep her for 2 years because she sheds 8-10x more than any cat I’ve had. I made her a deshedding appointment at a woman’s house so she wouldn’t be surrounded by other cats, and it turned out the woman had 2 cats and didn’t disclose that. Dropped her off and was driving away when I got a call to pick her up ASAP, she’s hissing and growling and won’t come out of the carrier. The lady was afraid. I don’t know what to do anymore, I brush her 2x a day with a mit and an undercoat comb. The second photo is ONE brushing session, it literally never ends. Now I feel a groomer will never work out and she won’t let me give her medicine beforehand. Anyone else have a difficult cat? This is my first and I’m at a loss but love her dearly.

I paid $90 via venmo for this lamp and am going to pay the shipping cost when she has it Monday. Internet searching is telling me having UPS wrap&ship could be up to $200, but if they don’t pack it then it’s not insured if it breaks. I’m bummed, my score is turning out to be not such of a score 🤷🏻‍♀️

No images in the collage are from the book, though

Dear lord having a double coated cat in summer is hell. She’s worth it though 💛 but definitely not excited for her deshedding appointment 🤷🏻‍♀️🤭

This is our mommy daughter portrait for 2026 😆 Miss Chamomile

I got Chamomile in 2024, she’s now 3. I have had many cats before and was not allergic, but Cammy sheds more than all my previous cats combined and has a ton of dander, which I think is what’s causing allergies. I am not exaggerating- as shown in the video, if you ever so slightly tug on any part of her fur a chunk comes out in your hand. She’s 7 lbs and sheds about 3 lbs of fur a day. She gets brushed 2x a day and the second photo in the video is how much fur comes out of each 5 min brushing. The last photo is 3 small tugs. I can’t keep sniffling/eyes watering, can’t keep vacuuming 2x a day—her hair even coats the plants hanging from my ceiling. You can see a little cloud of fur dispersing in the air as she walks by. She doesn’t cough hairballs so instead the fur constipates her consistently. I love her so much and can’t imagine life without her, but I also can’t deal with this forever. Please give me tips/solutions🙏. I had tried adding omegas to her food and she won’t eat it. Tried giving smashed sardines in their juice- won’t eat them. I’m at a loss. I’m 38 in Connecticut USA and can afford the vet but all he said was “she has a double coat”. She is spayed and otherwise healthy. (Ignore paper scraps-it’s my art room)

I thought for $9.99 I could find something to do with it 🤷🏻‍♀️ she’s pretty leggy lol

I’m sorry, I don’t like this guy either but I couldn’t find it reported anywhere else: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1LC7emyHYP/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I have always wanted one, and this man on marketplace had a basement of stuff his parents used to sell at markets but never sold. Though the box was ruined from the basement, the lamp is in great shape! $75 was a score. People keep offering to buy it from me but there’s no way, I’m deeply attached.

Obviously handmade and heavy enough they’re not comfortable to wear, but I have zero info on these other than they’re fabulous! Can’t find another example like them which makes me love them more. Just sharing :)
