About cleaning the chairs–I’ve got 12 cats, all I can say is “been there, done that, and I’ve definitely got the T-shirts to prove it!” LOL

I’m thinking of putting towels on small chairs and washable blankets on other furniture. Seems a good compromise having cats inside. Anyway they do a good job dusting the floor off for me.

*Furminator* I share my life with a quite hairy cat (Frosty) and the furminator is awesome for grooming. Yes, the are expensive. Very expensive. Maybe you could find a used one on eBay? Her coat is softer, more shiny and hopefully we will have fewer hairball incidents. Over the years I have purchased many brushes and combs for the kitties in my life, this one is the best! You will probably choke at the price, I think they are worth it! :-)

I don’t have cats now, but I’ve had the same problem with my dogs! Its amazing how much hair you can vacuum up and yet they never go bald!

I have birds now so no cats allowed inside!

We have five indoor cats. I could knit myself another new cat every week with the amount of cat hair that I vacuum up. It’s gross. But I love my cats, so I deal with it. I’ve read such good things about the Furminator. I’m going to get one and try it out.

I had eight cats at one time. I went so far as to pull up all the carpet in the house and put in wood floors(so no fur on the carpet) and I bought that vacuum with the power brush attachment for the furniture.

All my cats had to be “inside” cats because I lived in the city. I felt so bad that they couldn’t go outside that I had a 12′x 20′ screened room built on the back of the house so they could see the birds and feel the breeze. Not that I indulged my cats or anything…

My cats don’t shed so much as MOLT. It’s disgusting. Big clumps of fur all over the place.

I hit the chairs with the vacuum every week, and I’ve started putting a plastic grocery bag on my dining chair because I hate sitting in cat hair and the cats don’t like the crinkling, so they leave my chair alone. They leave the leather stuff alone, too, so that’s good.

The dog, on the other hand, is another matter entirely.

I am not an animal person. I make no apologies for this. Each person has their own personal thing. I do remember when my children were small how hard it was to keep fur and hair off the furniture. When I got it clean, I put a towel over it until cat/dog pulled it off. I never heard of some of the things you ladies are talking about. Good luck with keeping things clean. Have a great evening and to all.
