It's the little things that mean a lot....

Yesterday while I was taking my shower, my already crappy shower head had reduced to such a pathetic trickle that I practically had to touch the wall to get under the water

I think it's just your cat. My cats don't do that. They do plenty of other weird stuff though.

Do you have a drain trap to catch the hair? It doesn't help once the drain is clogged, obviously, but it's nice prevention.

I only have mine in half the time, heh. :)

I bought a trap at bed bath and beyond, but it didn't work. Do you have a recommendation? I'm contemplating mesh fabric weighed down by rocks.

Unfortunately, I don't know the brand of mine; it was at my apartment when I moved in. It's small and metal and lays very flat, with little "feet" that slip inside the drain and make it resistant to movement, especially with the weight of even a little water on it. I expect it costs a dollar at a hardware store. I wonder if drains are a standard size or if you would be well-served by measuring the diameter of your drain first?

Anyway, I have spent too much in my time on drain cleaner, I love any alternative.

My drain has one of those built in metal drain stoppers that push down to plug the drain. Whatever I get would somehow have to go over that and then seal to the bottom of the tub.
