The reporter personally experienced and found that someone sold more than 200 yuan per gram of cat hair recycling? Bloggers bring products to raise doubts about cat hair | Bloggers | Recycling

When the weather gets hot, pets lose their fur, which becomes the biggest headache for pet owners. If someone collects cat hair for a fee, will the poop collector still feel troubled by the cat hair?

Recycling 2 yuan per gram

A seller sold over 200 yuan

Recently, a post on a social media platform titled "Recycling Cat Hair by Weight" sparked heated discussions. The blogger claimed to recycle cat hair for 2 yuan per gram, and demanded that the cat hair should not be wet, clumped, and clean, with a minimum weight of 20g.

For a while, netizens came up with their accumulated cat hair to purchase.

A seller exclaimed, "Who knows! My cat earned me 170 yuan on its own." Another netizen exclaimed, "There's such a good thing, the owner can buy cans for himself."

Some buyers are unwilling to make transactions on WeChat and have requested payment for salted fish, and the blogger readily agrees. 99g cat hair, including postage, will be paid together for 206 yuan.

Is this true? After sending out the cat fur on June 3rd, a seller updated the status on June 5th, stating, "The buyer has confirmed receipt and I shouldn't have been deceived."

However, due to the high level of attention to the topic or the fact that there are too many sellers who want to sell cat hair, the blogger has now lowered the recycling price to 0.5 yuan per gram, and the recycling threshold has also been set to 50g. However, this has not stopped the enthusiasm of cat slaves.

More sellers and fewer buyers

Private messages and adding friends all sink into the sea

On social media platforms, trendy news reporters search for keywords such as "recycling cat hair" and multiple posts about recycling cat hair appear, with varying prices and a wide range of intervals.

Under these posts, there are numerous "cat families" gathered, hoping to receive a response from the acquirer, but often they sink into the sea.

"A blogger requested to join a group, so I joined the group. However, the blogger didn't respond to the group messages at all, feeling like it was deceiving people." Xiaoxin has several stuffed cats at home, and she also has a lot of cat hair in her house. After seeing the cat hair recycling post, she was quite surprised and even shared several cat friend groups. "Everyone is quite excited, but reality has poured cold water on me."

Xiaoxin told Chao News reporters that after joining the group, the blogger only sent one message, saying "I'm too busy, WeChat has been added frequently, and the current recycling price is 1.5 yuan per gram, starting from 20 grams." He also left a WeChat message, but it has not been added since then, and the group message has not been replied to.

Xiaoxin discovered that almost every day, many new members join the group, but the blogger never appears again. "The questioning voices in the group are increasing, and everyone is asking if there has been a successful transaction, but obviously, no one has figured out the situation." Xiao Xin said helplessly, "I'll just treat it like eating melon and want to squat down for a follow-up."

Because they couldn't find buyers, many cat slaves turned around and hung their cat fur on second-hand trading platforms, intending to give it a try.

Hangzhou girl Xiaoxiao also put on her own cloth doll cat fur, priced at 8 yuan. "The price is arbitrary," Xiaoxiao said, saying that she was too curious to hang the cat fur for sale. "I just wanted to see if someone really collects it? What is it used for when it's collected?"

Xiaoxiao told the trendy news reporter that cat hair has been on the shelves for almost a week, and only curious netizens came to inquire, without any real "buyers".

What is cat hair used for?

Bloggers raising doubts about promoting products

What can cat hair be used for? A blogger responded that their company specializes in sweeping robots and requires a large amount of cat hair for dirt testing to simulate a home environment with pets.

But netizens questioned, "Isn't it simpler and more efficient to test a sweeping robot and raise a few cats? Why bother collecting cat hair from all over the country?"

Last night, a sharp eyed netizen discovered that the blogger had started promoting products. "I've attracted tens of thousands of followers, but I don't reply to my private messages and keep updating," the netizen said angrily. "It's just a traffic post, the identification is complete."

In addition to the claim of "sweeping robot testing", some bloggers also post pictures to prove that "recycling cat hair is used to make cat hair yarn.".

In Hangzhou, a textile related practitioner spun pet wool part-time on the Internet.

"Besides cat hair, dog hair is also fine. They send me cat hair and dog hair, and I help them spin it into yarn. The general construction period is three to five days, and the fee for every 10g of yarn is 40 yuan." She told reporters that she is purely a hobby and accepts orders casually, but many buyers send cat hair that does not meet the requirements. "It's definitely not possible to form a ball that cannot be separated. It's best to use long haired cat yarn, and if it falls off naturally after combing, the shaved cat hair won't be easy to form when spun."

It is understood that pet hair spun yarn can be used to weave a small scarf, and if the amount of hair is not enough, cotton or wool can be mixed inside. In the eyes of many buyers, knitting with pet fur is very commemorative.

Compared to individuals, pet grooming institutions handle more pet hair on a daily basis. How do they usually handle cat and dog hair?

"We all throw it away as garbage and have never heard of cat hair recycling," a staff member of a pet agency in Hangzhou told reporters. When the weather gets hot, many people do send "fur kids" to do beauty projects such as hair removal and shaving, so they produce a lot of "hair waste" every day. The staff member smiled and said, "If you really have any related needs, please contact us!"

"I have been in the industry for 10 years and have never heard of recycling cat hair," said a pet hospital director. During spring and summer, if a cat loses a lot of hair, it can be relieved by combing and removing floating hair on a daily basis. It is not recommended to shave the cat's entire body. "Regardless of whether this event is true or false, monetary benefits should not be based on animals' lives and health."
