So, i have 2 cats and, while one of them lose some fur the other one could fill a pillow with all the fur that she shed, even if I brush her to remove some extra fur it seems like it never ends.

They sleep on a couch that has become completely unusable due to the fact that if you sit on if you will be full of fur in no time, even after multiple vacuums it still has fur on it.

I have to always close my bedroom door to avoid them going on the sheets because if they do when I do the laundry the hair will spread to everything in the washing machine, even if I programming 2 extra rinses.

I always see people with cats have somewhat no fur on them, even with cats sleeping on the beds and on couches that seem to have the magical ability to not retain fur like magnets.

So what’s the secret? They just vacuum more then me? Is there some mystical product that helps removing hair from couches and washing machines?

    Brushing the cats regularly is the first step - this removes loose fur that will otherwise fall out on other surfaces. Most cats love being brushed, and id say doing it a every week at a minimum will help.

    Other than brushing, having the right type of vacuum can make a big difference.

    Are you in the southern hemisphere? Our cats shed a lot more in the summer vs winter. Spring is especially bad, as they are getting rid of their winter coat.

    Thank you for taking the time to make sure you’re taking the best care of them! They have a good home with you.
