You could alway's toss the cat in the dryer for about ten minutes the lint catch should just about get it all.

I have had a couple of cats over the years and have had a rescue cat since last September. She is constantly moulting! Even if I brush her every day I still find lumps of hair all over the house. Her fur is shiny and not matted so she seems well but I have never had a cat moult so much!! Anyone else had this or are there any suggestions?

A tranquilizer pill and an electric razor?

I agree with the removal of the undercoat, lass, that is what you're seeing on your furniture. I have a short haired male that sheds pounds of undercoat after winter is over. (I wouldn't attempt to take him to a groomer though since he weighs 25 lbs. and stands as tall as a toy collie; too dangerous,) Looks like I'll be doing it myself forever but it really does help a lot.

I could make a new kitten each week with what our cat sheds.... she doesn't like to be brushed/combed, so I have to corner her and distract her with cheese and try to get her brushed..... it is now something I just deal with.... I vacuum daily and try to brush her each day, too. Her coat is solid white and shiny and the vet says.... she just has a lotta hair. My son learned a difficult lesson a few years ago .... you do not want to put a dust-buster near this cat to suck up hair.... it almost required a blood transfusion.... for him.

My parents took their cat to a professional groomer. The groomer was able to remove the thick undercoat that cats usually shed in the warmer months. They use a special brush that is attached to a vacuum that pulls that undercoat out and is painles since the undercoat is loose fur. It makes a real difference. They say that he sheds very little. Depending on the thickness of the cat's fur, it could take some time for the groomer to get all of the undercoat removed.

I just had a picture in my mind of someone trying to save money by trying this at home with their vacuum cleaner.

We had a cat about ten years ago that really liked being vacuumed.

Sounds like one of ours! she loves loves loves that silly attachment and meows like crazy when we stop, shes the same way with the brush also. This cat sheds so much we call her pig pen cuz she sheds when she walks! lol We've done the combing out of the undercoat and what not nothings ever changed since she was a kitten even had her thyroid tested when she was younger.

You can buy a brush that does the same thing as the groomer ..or you can use duc tape

Hey, don't forget to use those "fabric softener sheets" you don't want any "static" in the cat's fur, should the cat make it out alive.

I hadn't thought of that. It would also make them smell really nice.
