Need Help Please

Hi I'm new here so if I'm doing this wrong I'm sorry. The question
I have is I have cat and he sheds all the time. I haven't done any of
my crafts for almost 2 years because of getting hair in project. I'm
really going nuts not being able to do them. What do you suggest me
to do? He also is always either on my lap or beside me. Even
reading is hard to do with him

Deal with the fact that you can have cats or you can have hair-free, but
you cannot have both.


Too true. Best way I have found to keep the cat hair out of tuff is
to comb and brush the little darlings frequently! I usually have one of
the cat babies sitting with me on my chair, especially when I am doing
needlework. I make sure I brush the kitty before I start stitching. I
also keep a roll of tape handy so that I can use it to pick up any cat
fuzz I happen to see near my work.
Oh and WELCOME. Tell us more about your baby and what you want to
start working on :-). And never forget that cat hair (actually ANY pet
hair) is a decorative fiber -- LOLOL!!! CiaoMeow ^;;^

I've done a lot of embroidery and sewing over the years with feline and
canine supervision.

Have you tried a Furminator? They're highly efficient at removing piles of
fur. The cats here all approve of them -- so does the dog. Kinda expensive
and worth it, imo.

No cat here, but I do have a long haired Maltese dog. He doesn't shed, but
often loses an 8" long hair from his tail. That always seems to wind up in
my needlework project and most of the time I just leave it in.

Just think that in the future, when they do DNA testing on the piece to find
out more about the person who stitched it, they will be surprised to note
that it was done by a cat.

Do they have a food supplement for reducing shedding for cats? I know
they do for dogs. Hmmm. Maybe it can be used for both....must look
on the label.

Shave the cat.

I brush my cat every day, and get quite a bit of hair. She happens to
enjoy being brushed, and I enjoy having a lot less hair and a lot
fewer hairballs! I can't get ALL of the hair away from furniture,
etc., but get the vast majority, and don't have a problem with hair in
my quilting, tatting, needlework, or knitting.

I have 3 cats that live with my daughter in KY and have to say the
Furminator
is the best thing going. Bought it at the vet office and it cost
about $40.
Well worth the money!! Got that fur under control in no time!!
