my cat is picking up these things.

Anyway, he's coming in with these BB sized green seeds(??) stuck to his
fur
that take quite a bit of effort to remove. They aren't sticky so much as
I
think they're more like velcro, they stick to all the fabrics in the
house
which makes it tough to get rid of them with a vacuum.

Any ideas what plant is producing those? All I can think of is perhaps
the
climbing Wisteria I have on my fence, the grass/weeds in the back 40 or
what
I don't know.


Sorry I cant remember where you are,(Pacific coast?)
Anyway Forget me nots,
Stickseed (Hackelia)
Bidens also called beggar-tick, sticktight, or bur marigold
Galium (bedstraw, cleavers)
are irritating possibilities.

and socks,yuck


Yeah I suppose a location would help narrow it down some - Seattle.
