Shoebox vs Ikea Cat Bed

Cat beds don't need to be expensive. You can make one for free out of an old shoebox!

My chubby baby Oatey seems to prefer it over the RM300 Ikea cat bed made of rattan that we bought for him ;-)

Ikea lint roller vs 3M lint roller compared

Ikea Lint Roller
Pros

+ Cheap RM4.90 for 1 lint roll and plastic roller, RM9.90 for 4 lint roll refills (without plastic roller)
+ Waxed paper sheets are recyclable (I think)

Cons
- Lint roll sheets are thin waxed paper, so when if you don't peel off current sheet carefully, you may end up peeling the current sheet and the next 3 layers!


3M Lint Roller
Pros
+ Thick plastic sheets, so you're less likely to accidentally peel off several sheets at once

Cons
- Expensive. Approx RM20 for 1 lint roll
- Sheets are not recyclable


Conclusion
I prefer the Ikea lint roller over 3M because it's much cheaper (RM2.50 per Ikea lint roll vs RM20 per 3M lint roll). In the past, I have favoured 3M because it seemed to pick up more fur off cloths than Ikea's lint roller. But having just finished using an Ikea lint roll, and switched back to 3M, I found that I get through just as many lint roll sheets for both brands. So I've decided to save money, and learn how to carefully peel off used lint sheets ;-)
