Abstract: I, Tammy Lorkovic, a citizen of the United States and a resident of Humble, Tex. declares/disclosures and describes “Sticky Paws” to be an adhesive glove in the shape of a combined hand/paw with a paw print decor surface on the top side, and an adhesive underside of the glove. The glove design allows persons to remove pet hair off their clothing in an easier and more rapid fashion as the glove allows the hand to reach all areas of the garment which would be more difficult for example with a roller adhevise. Crevices on garments, shoulders, sleeves, pleats, etc. would all be easier to remove pet hair with an adhesive glove vs. the roller type adhesive. When finished removing pet hair off of the garment, or even furniture, the glove may simply be removed and thrown away.
