Especially for folks with four or more cats, how do you manage the fur that gets shed around the house?
With my two new additions, I now have five cats. My last apartment was all hardwoods and I bought a vacuum cleaner that works exceptionally well on floors - but doesn't do a thing on carpets. My new apartment has a rug in the (huge) living room and pull shades on the super-sized windows that can't be thrown in the washer and in the three months I've been here, the fur has really begun to fly. It's on the pull shades, the furniture, my clothes, in the air, everywhere.
Besides brushing the cats (which I have begun, with limited success), what are your tips for keeping the loose fur to a minimum? If you have a vacuum cleaner you especially like, can you tell me what make/model it is? I'm considering a steam cleaner over a standard vac, but, wow, the prices!
Thanks for your inputs, everyone. The fur is the only cat-related issue I have trouble managing; getting that under control would be really nice.
