Cat hair in the nose is a regional thing. Here in the hoity-toity east, we use linen handkerchiefs to blow our noses, and we wear imported silk ties around our necks. Out in Alberta they use their handkerchiefs as ties around their necks, and use cats to blow their noses. That’s why they have [cat’ul drives](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8) out there (not to mention slightly sticky cats). ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > My problem with the cats is cat hair in my eyes. My husband and I live in the same house, interact pretty much the same with the cats, and I get hairs in my eyes every day, and he doesn’t. I don’t get it. Oh well. What can you do? (Other than getting rid of the cats and cleaning your house top to bottom and never having cats again, but that ain’t happening.) Have you ever found a resolution to this? It is ruining my life!!! and the ophthalomgist and the ENT seem to think i am crazy. it seems like i cant find anyone else with the same eye issue on the interenet…till now! ---

Zombie cats! Hi, LBAID, you may not have noticed but the thread you responded to is almost eleven years dead. ---

I’d say plug your nostrils when you get in bed, but then you’d probably start coughing up hair balls. Have you tried an air filter on each side of the bed? I think that would at least lessen the severity. ---

Those Dyson Animal vacuums (or similar) are pretty good at sucking up hair. ---

Interestingly, I was wrong about Dyaon vacuums. The appeared on the market in the early 90s and had a strong market presence by 2001. So a Dyson may have been useful in 2007. But I guess the “Animal” variants were newer than that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-way-too-much-cat-hair-in-my-nose/410763.md?page=2)
