OMG the shedding!
The boys had to be shaved before, Moe & Rudy got thick clumps of fur
you couldn't get through...I was lucky the SPCA did for a donation which was a lot less than the local groomers charge (I don't want them groomed again, they went into major attack mode afterwards and had to be kept in separate rooms for a month)! so now no more clumps. they get brushed at least 2x a day and the brush is full...a friend let me borrow this fine comb that was on a TV ad, it worked but just as good as the brush does My chair looked like it was part cat! A friend told me how to fix it, get bucket put laundry soap use a stiff brush and stoke downwards the fur that comes off! I do on the floor to using a mop and dragging it forward then peeling the strings of fur off my grandson's and my stuffed animals looked like they were becoming cats, I used a dishrag w/the laundry soap but I have a disability in both arms and it's painful doing all this - I don't mean brushing them - that's not a problem Is there anything at all I can do to cut down on the shedding? (They're indoor guys and neutered) There's always these little things of cat fur flying around, it's everywhere What's the best vacuum for pet fur? ensoul I worry that the person who thought up Muzak may be thinking up something else. ~Lily Tomlin |

A good rubber brush works good for pulling fur off furniture. I found my
last one at the dollar store in the automotive section. Also a premium cat food helps with the shedding. Celeste "ensoul" wrote in message ...

Is there anything at all I can do to cut down on the shedding?
(They're indoor guys and neutered) *There's always these little things of cat fur flying around, it's everywhere What's the best vacuum for pet fur? I really love the Furminator brush. It works great and gets the hair out. You do need to use it at least once a week to fully cut down on the shedding. I prefer a small shop vac for removing pet hair, or for smaller areas a yellow Gonzo sponge (you can get at a pet store) that you wipe across the fur. As for their diet, I think a change to a premium wet food would help them. I have two cats who are fed premium wet food and while I have some shedding, it's nothing like you arre describing. Rene |

You live in a cold climate. Are you keeping your house too warm? My cats all have thick heavy winter coats and I don't expect them to shed until spring. Try one of those rubber grooming gloves if you have hand mobility issues. |
