If You Own A Pet You Need This Hair Removal Tool

My first pet was a cat named Jumper. I loved that kitty so much, and the other cats that followed. Well after years with cats, my house is officially cat…

This fist-sized hairball came from 15 stairs. Disgusting.

My first pet was a cat named Jumper. I loved that kitty so much, and the other cats that followed. Well after years with cats, my house is officially cat free and as much as I loved them, the hair was an issue. It gets everywhere and you never feel like you've got the home really clean. I bought a hair removal tool on Instagram against my better judgement. I am here to tell you it works, and you need it.

The Must-Have Cat Hair Removal Tool

Once you see what was living inside of your carpets, you'll be appalled.

Before I get into this, no. This is not an ad. I bought the Uproot Clean from an ad. When I took it out of the box, I was puzzled. It is just a plastic piece with two grooved metal bars on either side. Kind of looks like a rake. I tested a small part of carpet and didn't see anything come out. Of course I assumed I was had by a fugazi social ad. I put it away, never expecting to use it again.

My kids are sneezing. My dad, snowbirding from Boston, can barely breathe. Something had to be done. So I have been in a deep clean of the house. I looked at the Uproot Clean again with nothing but disdain. I decided to give it another shot... and scraped my carpet behind a reclining chair in my bedroom. When I tell you, the amount of hair that came from a 10 square foot area would make your jaw drop. I almost had a cat's worth of hair.

This little tool scraped up years of cat hair.

I have been on a tear going through the house since. Just last night I scraped up the air with the smaller Uproot Clean handheld and the pictures speak for themselves. A literal fist-sized hairball in my stairs alone. It is unbelievable that all of this has been hiding in the fibers of my carpet all of this time.

So, if you've been seeing ads for this tool, I am here to give it a massive thumbs up. Warning: once you pick it up, it gets addictive.

Taylor Swift’s Cat Is Worth More Than These Celebrities…

Taylor Swift's sweet little cat, Olivia Benson, who she adopted in 2014 might seem like an unlikely candidate for a fat bank account, but she is worth more than a lot of celebrities.  Taylor Swift has obviously made an incredible fortune through her music, tours, and endorsements. But according to AllAboutCats.com Taylor's cat could be worth a lot of money if she just put her mind to it. The site put together a fun list of the world's most wealthy cats (if they were to make money on their or their owner's celebrity). Remember this is all for funsies I'm pretty sure Olivia Benson doesn't have a bank account... but I bet if Taylor wanted her to she would because Taylor Swift runs the world.

Olivia Benson who is named after the iconic Law & Order character, has become a big part of Taylor's life. She makes appearances on her social media and even makes some appearances with Taylor during interviews and photo shoots. The super cute Scottish Fold cat has gained a substantial fanbase of her own, capturing hearts with her playful personality. She is just absolutely adorable.

There are some different things that All About Cats says attributes to Olivia Benson's worth of almost $100 million. But they say it pretty much is because of her social media presence and called her a social media influencer.

It's a tough cat life but someone has to do it.

I wanted to see if she would be worth more than Vegas's own Brendon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers and sure enough, she was. He is worth around $25 million. Las Vegas is known for its glitz, glamour, and entertainment, and that all holds huge value... but Olivia Benson's influence just by being adopted by Taylor Swift carries a lot of weight.

Let's take a look at other celebrities that aren't even close to being worth the money that Taylor Swift's cat is worth.

Doja Cat - $12M

Doja Cat has made her millions being a recording artist. She is born and raised in LA and first got recognition when she was a teenager releasing music on SoundCloud.

Carrot Top - $70M

Carrot Top is an actor/comedian who has called Las Vegas home for years! He is known for using props in his comedy act. He is one of the wealthiest comedians but still isn't worth as much as Olivia the cat.

Pamela Anderson - $20M

Pam Anderson is known for... well being beautiful. She is a model, actress, animal activist, author, as well as many other things. She made it big when she was young and was featured in Playboy magazine.

Machine Gun Kelly - $25M

Machine Gun Kelly made most of his money being a rapper/artist. He opened coffee shops in his hometown in the past and just created his own coffee roast.

Taylor Lautner - $40M

Taylor is worth around $40M and has been an actor since he was a kid but became extremely popular when he was a character in the movie series Twilight.
