File this under "Are we charmed or are we horrified?" Sure, these baby hedgehogs are only one day old, but still, who knew that they would look like walking thumbs?! We can't wait until these African pygmies grow into their skin, their quills, and their ability to Sonic Spin Attack. In the meantime, tell us:

Sure Fit Quilted Soft Suede Pet Cover - Product Review

by Kristyn Pomranz (Subscribe to Kristyn Pomranz's posts): Aug 19th 2009 @ 1:00PM Filed Under: Pet Clothes

A little background: A few years ago, I bought a microfiber couch because a friend told me it was the easiest fabric for cleaning up pet hair. True to her claim, the microfiber seemed to repel the pet hair – even the cushion that my cat used as her own personal mattress was easily un-fuzzed with the schwipe of a paper towel.

(Side note: I have another pet-owning pal who swears microfiber is a pet-hair magnet, so be sure to test a swatch before you make a major purchase.)

Anyway, due to a debacle involving a move to Brooklyn and an undersized doorframe, I ended up having to give my microfiber couch away. I was devastated because the couch was barely two years old and I didn't have the means to buy a new, correctly proportioned microfiber sofa. I ended up with an inexpensive sofa from Ikea, and while it is perfectly comfy, it is like an ionized nucleus of pet hair. The fur collects and clumps and refuses to budge, Anti-Fluff Glove be damned. So when I heard about the new Sure Fit Pet Cover, I couldn't wait to give it a shot.

Sure Fit's Quilted Soft Suede Pet Cover comes in a variety of sizes for couches, loveseats and chairs (and at $29.99 - $49.99, it is way cheaper than buying a new sofa).
The good news: much like my microfiber couch, the suede does its job and repels pet hair – even the fur that stuck to the suede was easy to manually remove.
The bad news: it's still a couch cover. The quilted design and color selections (taupe or chocolate) leave much to be desired, and I daresay it's as unattractive as gobs of pet hair.

I give Sure Fit Quilted Soft Suede Pet Cover 9/10 for functionality, and 5/10 for looks. As soon as they release a non-quilted version in a wider assortment of colors, I will wholeheartedly recommend it!
