I have a cat that is deaf so he must remain inside but the hair is driving me crazy!?

what is the best way to control the hair? I give him bathes, I don't give him baths. The brushes I use wont pick up the hair because it is so fine. I need suggestions for controling the shedding. HELP!!!

I've found that a metal, wide tooth comb works the best for removing excess hair from a cat with long or very fine hair. Get one made specifically for cats from your local pet shop.



Vacuum frequently to keep the hair off your furniture and rugs - there are vacuums that you can get now with special attachments for removing pet hair. It may be worthwhile to look into buying one of those.



Buy some sticky lint-rollers and place them in convenient areas around your house for removing hair from your clothing.



As a last resort you could consider taking your cat to a professional groomer for a lion-cut. This is where they shave your cat's body, leaving long fur only on his paws, the tip of his tail, his head and the ruff around his neck. This option should be carefully considered, since many cats require mild sedation to be clipped and shaved, and you will need to make sure your cat won't get cold.



One of my friends regularly shaves her cat, and I recently had one of mine shaved because she was having problems keeping herself clean - neither cat was traumatized by being shaved.

One of the BEST hair "picker-uppers" that I've found is.....a dishwashing glove....one of the yellow ones, with ribbed hand "palms". Just put that on your hand and "stroke" away....DRY (not wet)... The cat will love it, and whatever hair gets on the furniture/carpet can be removed with the same glove "treatment". It's fantastic! Have fun.................

Hey I had a deaf cat that loved to ride on the vacuum cleaner, so vacuum your cat the noise is what they don't like. You won't have that problem

Maybe try a shed thing. It is like a small blade brush that takes out the shedded fur. I've seen it at petco

There is a glove you can get and it has a rubber grip on the palm side and it works a treat. Better than any of he drawer full of brushes I have for my cat... do it daily as if just petting your cat. Mine enjoys it so much he drools...

A dog slicker brush (many little bent tines on it) or a metal comb are the best for those really fine coats with a lot of underfur.



Don't give baths, if you dry out the skin with those then you get more hair shed.



You can also make your hands wet and 'pet' the cat that way, rubbing palms together to get the fur on your hands to bunch up to toss away. That usualy works for me.
