People with pets: how do you deal with all the fur?
I have 4 cats. I love them very much.
They also produce more fur than there are grains of sand in this God forsaken earth. There's fur in my clothes, food, mouse, ceiling fan, body crevices.
We have a labrador. He gets brushed with a Furminator brush every few weeks, and we vacuum EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. Otherwise the shedding is out of control.
We discovered shortly after we adopted him that I am allergic to dogs, something I never noticed growing up with dogs, likely because my family's house was larger than our small apartment. So now the solution is being better about cleaning, as well as a daily dose of zyrtec for the life of our dog.
i recently bought a clipper set for my cat. he's an orange tabby & maine coon mix and he is huge. medium haired but let me tell you... the amount of freaking fur that is on everything all the time!! i brush him, comb him. i vacuum, i sweep. tried the clippers on him and he sits for a bit to let me do it but then scurries off. so i have to keep chasing him around to get as much fur as he'll let me. he gets mats really easily too. scared to give him a bath, which would honestly help a ton. he's just so finicky and won't sit still to save my life. i wake up with fur in my hair, eyelids and even my mouth. it gets in my food and drinks, and you can just see strands floating around. no material of clothing i own is without his fur. i just want to be free.
I have a Collie. I just keep getting the most expensive vacuums I can until all the hair inevitably binds to our pores and turns the whole family feral.
When I was young we had 3 cats. One had really puffy fur. We just kind of existed alongside the fur. There's nothing you can do about it. You just have to coexist. I think it's a part of having pets.
