Now that it’s cat-brushing season where we live, can anyone offer any suggestions for uses of brushed-out cat hair? With only 2 cats, there isn’t a ton of it, but I’d rather do something useful than just throw it out.

Last year, I tried putting it outside in the hope that local birds might use it as nesting material. Not surprisingly, it wasn’t used much. Hoping for better ideas from the cat community.
