I have individual poofs on my floor, too. I believe they are called dust bunnies.

The individual puffs on my floor are cat toys.

Quick! Hide the credit cards from the cat, or we'll be getting a new bedroom rug.

Upon further reflection, I've had the horrible realization that one of the Design-on-Loose-Change-and-Pocket-Lint HGTV shows will do a cheapie version of that rug... using craft store pompons.

Wende, I don't think they'd use craft store pompons - waaaay too expensive. I'm thinking they will harvest those rabid dust bunnies instead....
