i thought about that

so i have a short haired cat. most cats never go to the groomer to get haircuts. but when she was snipped, they shaved her tummy, and that fur grew back out to be the same length as the rest of her fur.

so my question is this: how does her fur know when to stop growing? how come it does not just keep getting longer like people's hair?

For the same reason our eyebrows don't continue growing, thank god. Why that is, I have no idea

My guess is genetically programed. Like the difference between long hair cats (Mancoons, Himalayans etc) and say Tabby's, Simese etc.

Plus we're feuding at the moment so that seems an even more distant possibility.

But I really do LOVE her; not just like her, LOVE her. We usually get along great, always have something to talk about, similar senses of humor, we've always been there for each other, and she's a very pretty girl. Not to say she's the only one...

But she doesn't like me that way. Sometimes I wish I could just separate myself from her forever, like we never even met...

That's the difference between "hair" and "fur."

Hair continues to grow.

Fur stops at a certain length. I guess it stops at a certain length, falls out, and new one takes over. That's when we see shedding.

Nope. I just never really got into it. Some of the earlier episodes were funny, but now they're all really, really bad. I watch it occasionally, and I may get a single chuckle out of an entire episode. Maybe. I just think it's really overrated.

Ya never know man after time she just may figure out that it is you she wants to be with. However go live your life and if it happens it happens if not atleast you didnt waste your time waiting for her to come around and can still show gains my friend.

That's the general idea. My life cannot be and must never be dictated by anybody other than me. We're probably going to grow apart in these coming months anyway, as we won't have as much time for each other thanks to college and becoming 18, which means we can get into clubs.

So, das macht nicht.
