Here comes the fuzz.

Have we got any pet-lovers in the house? Cuddle with your kitty in bed? Snuggle with your pup on the lounge?

That’s nice.

Allow me tell you what must surely be one of the grossest things you’ve ever heard. If you know worse, I want to hear about it in the comments.

OK, here goes: an American woman named Michelle Barrow had a ball of cat fur wedged deep inside her vagina that had been accumulating for god knows how long.

In a story, very literally called It Happened To Me: My Gynecologist Found a Ball of Cat Fur in My Vagina that she wrote on XOjane, Barrow explains how things went down.

She went to her gyno for a regular pap test and a check-up. Barrow also wanted to ask the doc about a dull ache she’d been suffering in her lower abdomen.

Never did she suspect innocent domesticated cats Cricket and Donut could be responsible.

Then she called a colleague to come have a look at the freakish fuzz inside Barrow, as the proud cat-owner lay spreadeagled on the table.

Barrow’s gyno told her it looked like maybe some strings from a tampon had gotten caught up in her IUD. But Barrow didn’t use tampons, she used a menstrual cup.

Then the gyno managed to pull the mystery mass out.

Furballs belong in cats’ digestive tracts, and then on your floor. Those are the only places I want to see them.

Furball truthers are calling foul on Barrow’s claims, but, like she says, why would anyone lie about something as horrific as that?

“A few people have said stuff like, ‘I’ve had cats all my life and they always sleep with me and this has never happened so you must be lying!’” Barrow said. “I promise I wouldn’t make that up. Now I wish I’d taken a picture of it!” Barrow told New York Magazine.

I’m really grateful you didn’t, Michelle. But I do applaud your bravery in sharing that story under your own name.

And please, don’t let Donut and Cricket sleep in your bed anymore.
