Cat Hair Management

Posted in Me!!!
If you have cats, or even dogs for that matter, then you know what I’m talking about. I have two cats, Sammi and Murray, and I have cat hair coming out of my ears…literally. I mean I get it in my eyes and mouth and forget about wearing black and sitting on my couch, BIG MISTAKE. When I get dressed in the morning I can’t sit on any furniture before leaving the house and I keep a lint roller in the garage for one last sweep before leaving. But lint rollers aren’t enough to try and manage this problem. It takes sheet after sheet just to get a pair of pants cat free, and trying to use a lint roller on the couch or bedspread is just ridiculous, that’s like a 20 sheet project right there. Over time I have found a couple of products that have helped the problem.

First up, the Furminator. It is the terminator for cat hair. Stop cat hair BEFORE it gets everywhere. I got all this cat hair with just a couple of strokes. And the cats love getting brushed with it which is a bonus.

Next up, my new toy, the Pledge Fabric Sweeper. This is perfect for getting pet hair off large fabric surfaces. The only bummer is you can’t open it up to empty out the cat hair. It looks like you can, but you can’t. So once it’s full to the trash can it goes. But they say it gets the equivalent of 145 lint roller sheets worth of pet hair.

While I had the camera out, the kiddos INSISTED on getting their pictures taken. I’m not kidding, they kept getting all up in my lens and they always get what they want so here’s a couple of my faves.:)

Oh my gosh! You have been reading my mind. We have two kitties, Tinkerbell and Buzz and their fur goes everywhere. We have the furminator and it ROCKS! Gotta get one of those fabric sweepers. Our kitties kiss and hug like that too! Hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend Amanda! :)

I agree with EVERY. WORD. you said!!!!! I have two cats(Lili and Lola) and they shed like it’s no ones business! We just got a new duvet cover a few weeks ago and by the second day it was covered with their hair! Ugh but you gotta’ love them! Anyway, cool post, your cats are adorable! I posted some of mine a few days ago

I love those pictures! What a pretty cat! I just wanted to share a pet hair remover I use for cat Mister! Its called Fur-Zoff and I like it better then most because it’s a “green” product that supposed to last you forever, so I feel better using it! You can find it now at http://www.FurZoff.net. Thanks again for the post, I enjoy reading them!
