On hunting
In the human world, men tend to be the hunters, while women tend to be the preparers. In the domestic pet world, cats remain hunters and dogs have accepted their human owners as leaders of their pack, and help retrieve the hunted. One could argue that the hunting gene in human females has been altered to become the shopping gene, and the hunting gene in human males morphed into the love of pro football (basketball, wrestling, etc.).

On pets and polymer clay
You didn't get fur in your clay, your pet contributed an inclusion.

No matter how much room is in your home, your clay space is the preferred area.
The airborne qualities of your glitter/powder is in direct proportion to your pet's need to play with it.
If the glaze is sticky, pet hair will find it.
