I second the Furminator suggestion, it works and wasn’t that expensive. My cat’s fur has a way of even sticking to the vertical surfaces in my home. It floats on imperceptible air currents and sun beams…every time I clean the house I look longingly at the clippers and have to resign myself to having a very fluffy pet.

Marinka, email me your address and I’ll mail you some dog hair. We bought us one of those fancy schmancy bagless vacuums that are supposed to allow for easy cleaning, but I suspect were created by Merry Maids themselves to show us what filth and squalor we really live in…..oh, but wait! I digress. Anyway, send me your address and I’ll vacuum a square foot or two and suck up enough animal hair to keep you and the little Marinkas busy for a month.

Here is a link to a rant about cats that is so funny it will make you snort and fall out of your chair.

Lint rollers. Bonus: the cat loves it. I just run it over my clothes once to make it not so sticky and then brush her down with it. It gets up all that loose fur and you can do it while watching TV.

Get a Furminator! This really helps with the amount of shedding. http://www.furminator.com/

Now my kids will feel all left out because we don’t have enough pet hair for craft projects.

Well done, Heather! I love, love, love the angel hair idea. You’d make a mint.

Other thought: This Halloween, why not cover your toddler in Fluffer Nutter, then have him roll around on your floor. Instant (and free) Neanderthal costume!

I’ve always wanted one those robot vacuums. Maybe that would solve the prblem.
