    I tried the Dyson Animal vacuum the other night at work because ours was broken. That thing ROCKS!!! It'd suck the paint off the walls. I wish I could afford it though. It's somewhere around $549. For that price it should do it on it's own weekly!!!

    I would also love to have one, Donna. It is something I am saving towards. I think it would be a good investment for us as it would make our carpeting last longer - and also feed my cleaning obsession Not really sure I can actually part with money, though. I looked at the regular Dyson - not the Animal. I will look and compare. Thanks for the input.

    I'm not sure what grooming you do on your cats but I know weekly grooming sessions with my dogs (and my brother's cats when they lived here) greatly reduced the amount of fur in our house.
    Brushing your cats more often, and then vacuuming afterwards may help a lot.

    I use a higher density sponge that is made for taking fur and hair off fabric. I don't know what it's called - I found it at my local hardware store. It "rolls" the fur up into easy to grab clumps.

    Grooming is definitely a help. If you have long-haired babies, consider getting them semi-shaved every so often.

    I've been thinking of getting a Swiffer myself. Sweeping and damp mopping all in one.

    For dusting - a magnetic duster.

    And I got rid of my clumping litter because of all the dust. There is one - in Canada anyway - called Maxx Cat with a urine deodorizer, and NO DUST. The urine evaporates fairly well; and I wouldn't go back to the dusty clumping stuff for love or money! Not sure it's good for the cats either.

    Good luck!
