Cat, dog and other pet hairs... Aggghhh

Murtle

thanks guy for your suggestions....Queenie, please feel free to come and try the hoover trick on my cats :rotfl: they'd tear the place down...suffice to say they don't really like the hoover (on or off....)

I'll see if I can get some of those surgical gloves to run over them, as I brush each of them daily for about 20minutes each (one of them hates the brush and his cries are very pitiful!!)

....and the airing of the flat, but it just seems to build up, naughty puddy tats....

we use those clothes defluffer things, the circular things that you run over the clothes, and we go through them very quickly...we also keep them in the car, so we can defluff the fluff we didn't see initially....!!!

Don't you just love 'em dearly!!!!

Reminds me of an old tag line:

"Of course those clothes are clean - the cat's sleeping on them isn't he?"

Groom the cats even more often than you do already to keep the shed hair down?

Don't let them in to the washing machine?

Don't let them kip on the laundry?

One of them sleeps in the dirty laundry

Mr Pennywise tried hoovering the cats a few months ago - they didn't like it - but i think that is because he had taken the attachment off the end of the tube and the power was turned right up

ROFLAO!!!!!! :doh: Mr P needs a few hints and tips, methinks

What do you think *my* real name is??? Kim? Aggie??? Do it yerself you scaredy cat! A *hungry* cat is a most willing "victim"

Instructions:

1) call sweetly to puss-puss
2) stroke !!!!!, lovingly
3) take firm grip of !!!!! in left hand, still stroking and cajoling with right hand
4) sloooooooowly, as purrs increase, make right hand strokes fewer in repetition and longer between gaps
5) grab hose of hoover with soft brush attachment ready to go
6) Take a firmer left hand grip
7) Begin stroking puss with the brush attachment
8) Turn on hoover
9) Sit on top of cat, run brush attachment over cats body at rate of 60mph, then ...

RUN BEFORE HE GETS HIS CLAWS OUT!!! (Fill puss bowl with as much luxury food as you can afford to make amends)

Simple!

BTW, you can buy packs of those surgical type gloves at Wilkinsons

Can't you get those mitts for stroking/grooming your pets from JML etc? You can clean and re-use them so less wastage than using those disposible ones? Woolies should have them.

ps haven't ever used them. My let my tropical fish moult in their water Mind you, DS2 has quite a hairy back and he's only a toddler :eek: He might like it

Yes…there was also the time when he thought “Hey – why do we let the hairs fall of the cats, get stuck to the clothes and then use the sticky roller? Why not just sticky roll the cats?”… poor cat didn’t like that either…it was just one step short of waxing :eek:

One of our cats is completely obsessed with Mr P. When he is not around, I have caught her rolling around in the pile of his dirty clothes by the side of his bed – the sweatier the better. :eek:

We have the same problem with my cat - short haired but moults something shocking!

I find grooming twice a day with a metal brush (it says for longer haired cats) really does the trick (mind you, hes a softy and loves being groomed so its not a problem!)

Hes only allowed on the spare bed and all my floors are laminate and my suite is leather so its not too difficult to clean up - I agree with the rubber glove - dragged over the cushion covers its amazing what it picks up! Has to be dry mind......
