We keep a hand vacuum in the living area where the cats like to chill as it is so much easier to pick it up and start vacuuming instead of having to lug the floor one out. The other areas in the house are fine as there are no upholstery around (we have wooden floors). For the reason we have animals in our home we decide to use leather seats with a simple piece of throw-over so we can share space with our cats (and a dog) and not get hairball-choked to death.

If you cat is leaving fur on your dining room or kitchen chairs, you also could use the SmartSeat Chair Protector. It is a soft, fabric cover that easily straps onto your chairs. It also is machine washable and waterproof. http://www.smartseatdiningchaircovers.com/ My recent post Don’t miss out on this year’s Caldecott Award winners

As a professional cleaner I run into fur on upholstery ALL of the time. The best method I have found for removing fur from upholstery is really quite simple and very effective. Simply spray a little water from a spray bottle into the area and use the flat of your palm to run little circles on the upholstery. This will ball the fur up into managable clumps. Give it a try.

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.
