OK...apparently my short attention span got the better of me again...at least as far as this thread is concerned. LOL I forgot to check back after my comment to DBD.
Honestly....I am laughing so hard that my kids are looking at me like I'm a LOONEY!!!!! There's no way I can explain the source of my amusement to an 8 year old tho.

Crazy Gals!!!!

Couldn't stop laughing :biglol: ... you gals are way too funny.
My friend who is an ER nurse tels me all kinds of funny stories about what goes on there! I absolutely have to show her this exchange among y'all. Maybe it''ll give her some ideas of protocols that may be devised to follow, should "removal" of a feather duster be one of the emergencies they have to wrasp their heads around and respond to successfully.... in the very near future?

For those of you on a strict budget here is a frugal Swiffer alternative, also ostrich friendly.

1 - Find cat napping wherever.
2 - Pick up cat. Stretch it till its legs are fully extended, front and back.
3 - Grab cat's paws firmly in each hand. Invert cat so it hangs by its legs.
4 - Rub cat back and forth on a synthetic rug for several minutes to allow it's fur todevelop a healthy static charge.
5 - Firmly grasping cat - really firmly, now, - methodically pass cat over dusty venetian blind. You will notice the cats fur stand on end as it nears venetian blind. (You may also feel cat's teeth firmly lodged in your wrist, however, don't let this discourage you from continuing your blind cleaning)
6 - As you notice the static charge between cat's coat and blind dissipate, repeat Steps 4 and 5.
Finally, step back and admire your clean venetian blinds. You may also soon want to disinfect and bandage your wrist - in fact, this is recommended! (Rabies shot optional!)

Side benefit of the super-duper product, 'Spiffer'?

Good upper arm exercise, some aerobic component. Increased activity for your cat. Always available! Free!!! Self-cleaning......... :D

Or emergency removal. Spending the night at ER trying to explain that you were only dusting ...you know those cobwebs, since dh is out gambing way too often lately.... :D

I can see you are a rookie. No, not the handle first. You have to think this through. Although the visual might be better with the feathers outside you need that handle to steer. Also consider which end might make a bigger impression should removal be attempted.

Well I can tell you what that duster could be used for if your hubby continues to go out and leave you at home with no relief, and it wouldn't be for dusting.
