Ancora imparo readers know that I rail against cat litter on a somewhat-regular basis. It is similar to dirt, pebbles and sand particles in a camping tent. I know that these irritants are unavoidable, but it doesn't make them any less irritating, now does it? With all of these substances, you can sweep, vacuum, wipe and dust mop until those proverbial cows return home and within SECONDS of the initial removal, more will have appeared.
Water spots are another of life's pesky realities, are they not? Why is it that the act of cleaning produces yet another issue that has to be dealt with? Is this not a household oxymoron? Wash my car to remove the dirt? Better have more clean, dry and soft cloths on hand with which to polish off the water spots. Wash myself in the shower to remove dirt and grime and I had better be standing by to polish off the water spots....not from me but from the surface in the shower. Shower surfaces are equal-opportunity offenders. The surface cares not if it is Italian marble, Vermont granite, the finest of tile from Europe, fiberglass, or pre-fab wall units from a big-box home repair store. Unless you are Oprah Winfrey, who has people to change her bed linens on a daily basis and probably keep her shower surfaces spot-free, then you, too, will have water spots.
Dust.....now there is another impossible household annoyance to conquer. Unless your home is hermetically sealed, in which case I believe you could no longer breathe and dust would matter no more, then there will be furniture dust, dust bunnies, and floor-fuzz from origins unknown or best left unidentified.
Cranky Kitty is a big contributor to the floor-fuzz of which I just 'spoke'. Being part or all Maine Coon, she has this huge tail which emits hair on a per-second basis. You touch any part of her and her body will gladly share some of its constant, excess hair. She is the personification of the word hirsute. I've been thinking that if I could just rig up a dust cloth around her tail then it would be so heavy that it would droop, presumably dragging on the floor and thereby collect all of the hair that her forward body has dropped.
I wonder if Cranky Kitty is up for or down with being helpful?
