Yack Stars and Carpet Stains
Posted on | April 1, 2007 |
I love looking at my meager blog stats. Someone did a Google search today for “getting hairball stains off carpet” and of course, I came right up. Somehow, that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that I have something to offer the world. Kind of like a hairball.
Except I haven’t found anything that takes hairball stains off my carpet either. So I’m thinking I could offer the person who conducted this search my Yack Star Precious instead. 
Don’t let her looks fool you. She knows there are people around who are into Rubenesque females, and she plays it up for all it’s worth. You just have to ignore her, which is really challenging because she howls all day about nothing in particular, unless her food bowl has been wedged between the washer and the cabinet and she can’t stick her face in it any longer. Then she howls about that.
But I can’t get the stains off the carpet. In fact, they turn pink sometimes, most likely because the dry catfood has some kind of carcinogenic red dye in it or something. So what do I do?
I spray the stain, and cover it with a rug (because she has this particular place where she truly enjoys yacking) which, when she realizes I have washed and replaced the rug, promptly yacks on it again. Just Once. Until I wash it. Again.
But I won’t do that immediately, because I enjoy watching her priss past the hairball on her way to her food bowl or cat box, acting like she doesn’t know anything about the offending blob she deposited on that very clean rug.
At least I can make the dog feel guilty about her bodily indiscretions. And she knows this, too. I watch her eye the Yack Star as she sashays over to the warm spot on the console above the cable box to get comfy, accelerate the production of more flea eggs, and fry her brain a bit more than she already has.

Woolite Oxy Deep has done the best job for me — not perfect, but best. Sometimes stain disappears completely, sometimes you retreat it ad infinitum with temporary success. How many times have I said, “Go to the tile floor!!!?” No, not good enough. Cats run from tile to carpet when they feel a hair ball rising. Little farts. Why do we put up with them? Oh, yeah, can’t live without them.

Profound words of wisdom with regard to the fuzzbags! I, too have tried Woolite Oxy Deep w/ similar results. After another trip to the grocery store today I think I’m going to concoct my own formula w/ some good ol’ ammonia and white vineagar. With any luck at all, we won’t blow up, but if we do, the stains will be history.
