Although shaving your pet seems like a good option for humans, it isn't for our pets. They need their fur for a number of reasons, including keeping them warm in the winter, keeping them cool (yes, it's true as counter-intuitive it may seem) in the summer and preventing sunburn. Keeping your pet well groomed not only helps control shedding mayhem, but increases the bond between you and your furry family member.

So very sorry for what you have been through! Been there, done that. No one that hasn’t wouldn’t understand. To keep a cat quarantined for three months (before allowing it to be with our others) and to find out it had Feline Leukemia was the worst.

I think I will be trying the Furminator as I have 2 dogs, 1 cat and a foster cat.

The reason I am posting this is because I want to discourage anyone from making their cat an outside cat as an earlier post suggested. I am a volunteer at an animal shelter and I see what happens to outside cats all the time. Right now we have one cat who was hit by a car with two broken legs, who is going to be put down today since we do not have the money to pay for the surgery. He had a collar, so he was probably someone’s pet. We also have two others with very nasty infections due to getting in fights. Not to mention all the diseases including FIV and Feline Leukemia.

I agree with Ivy about the vacuuming. There is really nothing that you can do for your furniture or carpet that is more effective for both cleanliness, indoor air quality, and the longevity of the upholstery. Dust and dirt are both abrasive. They will wear and tear on your upholstery untill it is distorted and ugly. Vacuuming is very important.

The lint brushes that are in tape rolling form work well. Designed for lint or pet hair on your clothes. A quick clean up and fairly cheap.

Wow, Just watched that Furminator video. I see what you mean. My poor Westie would be bald if I brushed him like that. I want one of these for him, but I think I will be more gentle than that. Does it cut the hair? It was removing more hair than my clippers do.
