Just one big furball

Smokey has been shedding fur in the hot weather. He has shed so much fur, we have labelled him a fur factory. He is so good at producing fur. Because of him, we have to sweep everyday to keep the floors clean. One week I brushed him everyday and I was still able to produce cherry tomato sized ball of compacted fur. Mind you, this does not include the fur that is left on the floor. 

Smokey! Must you shed so much fur?

"Yes, my fur prepares for summer."
