Pet blankets for cats

Anyone know of pet blanket for cats that don't hold cat hairs into the blanket fibres.
Not sure if I explained that right :D Ideally a b lanket that you could just take a single wipe or shake outside. I'm a man so my knowledge on soft furnishing materials is limited :roll:

The Cat And The Fox

This morning calling cats in before going out to town Barley our 8 1/2 month old male came sauntering through the back garden reluctantly and in tow was a young fox, there was no threatening behaviour from the fox towards Barley, and Barley seemed unconcerned with the fox's presence either. It appea...
