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.


Galium sp., betcha.
