Cat hair


Question Posted Monday February 14 2005, 4:05 pm

I have a long haired domestic black cat. I also have beige carpeting throuout my home. He leaves clipms of hair all over the house and not even vacuming seems to work in pickking it up. I am sick of spending hours on my hands and knees trying to get it off of the floor. Any suggestions?

try rolling you hand on the floor, that makes it go into a big ball and you can then just pick it up! insted of it taking forever!

Make sure you spend time each day grooming your cat. Not only will he/she love it but it will also get rid of any fur that is falling out and will keep his/her hair in really good condition.
As for getting the hair off of the floor, you can get these roller things that get cat hairs off of your clothes, you can get really large ones of these - just roll it across the floor and it will pick them up.

You can get them from Bettaware in the Uk, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to get them where you are.

Hope this helps!

its a sign of love from him to you!! hehee, hmm, try brushing like alot of other people say. also having a good coat deals with their diet so..always keep fresh water for them which is crucial to their nourishment and nutricion. if the cat is healthy and well-groomed it will be happy and maybe it will shed less. just dont hit it because its not his fault and that makes me sad! ^-^...im a cat person. :) (hope i help)

it does sound kind of stupid on the answer i am going to give you, have you ever considered shaving your cat?

i don't really know cause the vacum gets my 4 cats clumps of fur, sometimes it is just worth cleaning up after your cat, it makes me feel responsoble!

hope i helped at least a little!

My mother use to have a rubber broom that was ment to be used on carpet. It was good for gathering up pet hair. I use a damp sponge to get cat hair of the furniture, but I suppose it would work for carpet as well. For any animal that sheds a lot, it's helpful to brush them everyday.

selectopaque answered Monday February 14 2005, 4:40 pm:
Your cat shouldn't be shedding big clumps of hair. If your cat is shedding big clumps of hair, then it means that you are not grooming him properly.

Long haired cats need to be brushed at least daily in order to keep their hair tangle free and comfortable for them. This will also aid you by keeping the clumps off of your carpet.

If you are having a hard time starting out with brushing, then you should cut the clumps off of him, and then brush him daily to keep the clumps away.

If you have a long haired cat, and you do not keep his hair groomed properly, then he will get hairballs. That is not healthy for him.

Ive had a cat like that but it wasnt as bad as it seems for you. But we made sure to brush the cat at least 3 times a day and sometimes more. It can get really tiring but the cat enjoyed it and the hair on the floor was decreasing in amount. So if you have any free time just brush him...a lot but not too hard, but besides that i dont know if anything would work but you can always contact a vet! :)

I'm not really sure how you can get it out of the carpet besides using a lint roler which would take a loooong time, but if you brush your cat once a day and just put the hair in the trash it could help a lot! most cats usually like to be brushed too so it might benefit both you & the cat:)
