Hope you two don't mind me jumping in here but I love the new avatar too. What a great coffee mug, Kat! And I need one just like it. 😄😺🐾

Laurel is a black cat but her undercoat, which is what she sheds and gets everywhere the most, is more a dark gray and is very fine and fluffy. Which could be why I haven't noticed her fur in my coffee. I haven't noticed it in my cooking either. But, and this may have more to do with me letting her get all up in my face all the time, I do find myself occasionally having to spit a cat hair out of my mouth! (What cat owner doesn't?) She doesn't get on counter tops or the table but it floats everywhere and no matter how hard I clean, I can never get rid of all of it. A constant losing battle. How one little 7.5lb kitty can shed so much undercoat is unbelievable. Ugh!

The other 3 share a bedroom they stay in...Laurel likes being an only child and has so many issues because of her allergies...so their fur leavings are much more manageable. Same too with the strays outdoors...I even have a dedicated bathrobe I wear with them to avoid cross-contamination! 😲

But this whole conversation reminds me of a "favorite" movie quote. A real weird one and I have no idea why other than it's the sort of quote that really sticks in your head once you've heard it. Anyway, it's a line from the diner scene in the Monkees movie Head. The group is sitting in the diner on the set and Davy flippantly places an order for "a glass of cold gravy with a hair in it." 😲 I never associated it with cat fur before now...dagnabbit! 😲😲😲
