furpatina
/ˌfɜːpəˈtiːnə/nounVerified NewThe layer of pet hair that becomes part of a home's surfaces and is eventually accepted as finish.
It begins as lint-rolling and ends as texture — the dark sofa has a coat now, the black clothes a season. Furpatina is patina in the antique sense: accumulated, faintly prized, and removable only at destructive cost. Visitors notice it; residents stopped seeing it years ago.
Etym. — fur + patina — the surface treatment a pet applies, free of charge, forever.
