How clean is your place? Honest answers pls....

Want to go back to a hard floor in my lounge. The carpet was laid when my dad was alive 3 years ago, but it's a huge room, so to laminate it will cost a LOT! In the meantime I watch the original beige carpet slowly turning dog colour...

Not actually dirty but rather cluttered. We don't have much storage so things seem to end up in piles and stacks all over the place.

I feel carpet is easier - hair sticks to it and does not FLY all over the place.. with laminate/wood... it is BAD....

I think the cats are only half the problem here, its more the lovebirds who love to chuck half the bird seed out of the cage followed by feathers, then my half persian idiot cat likes to sit in it till hes covered in feathers
miyagi also takes delight in transporting bits of food from bowl into other corners of the room to eat, dropping bits along the way-
then the teenagers love to chuck random items around house so cats nest in it, call me odd- i love the cats but really i like to smell less feline than them so dont really want them nesting in my new coat -because teen daughter threw it off the peg when she was getting her bag and thoughtfully left my coat on floor:(

Or you could always get yourselves a Bengal, especially the brown spotted version . My Spotty boy doesn't seem to moult at all, even when I brush/comb him, I only get one or two single hairs off him at the most :rotfl: His sister, who is a snow, does have a little more fluff about her.

I've got 2 bengals and their pelts moult continually, 6 months each time , both are snow spotty things. I got them 10 years ago as I'm not allergic to their pelt, but I'm allergic to the normal moggie.

A visitor the other day called our place "tidy but lived in" just the look I was aiming for...Doh.

My house is covered. Our little kitty moults everywhere! She got into DH's underwear drawer once and he picked his pant's up exclaiming "Bl00dy hell, there's more fur on my pants than on the cat!"

This thread is interesting because my DH would like to get a dog one day, but I have a massive thing about the hair. I could not cope with it being round my house. So he is on a mission to find a non moulting type of dog - any ideas?? The only ones weve come across so far that dont moult much are 'rat' dogs which he does not want lol

My mother has one of those rubber brushes for her laminate floor.
She reckons mutt's dog hair has little hooks on the end that sticks into the carpet and is harder to remove. Then again she also thinks that mutt only moults white hair when mother is wearing black trousers and saves it specially for her.
Dog hair I can ignore - it blends into the carpet and gives it a more interesting pattern.:D However what does drive me up the wall is the fluff that comes off mutt's blankets - 5 minutes after I hoover and she's spread it everywhere again.

However in answer to the OP, I'm now a heck of a sight cleaner than I was a week ago when I first spotted the mouse in the kitchen. Mutt's terrier instincts have failed completely - she stands there looking puzzled as it scoots across the floor in front of her.

So I am also now in the market for a cat - any swapsies for a 14 year old knackered deaf bull terrier?

poodles don't moult as much as other dogs - going extreme you could get a Chinese Crested Hairless
