Suggestions for clean cat home?

[Pam]

Hi Debbie!

I am also planning to look for a new couch this year. I am surprised that so many cat people are opting for microfiber. I always figured that the microfiber would be like a magnet for the cat hair! Is it not?

I bought new living room furniture about three months ago and had also looked at microfiber. Actually at two of the stores I went to the sales people told me it was virtually impossible to get cat hair off of it because it is like a magnet and the hair becomes one with the fabric. I opted to go with a woven fabric for that reason.

I have one large litterbox in the basement. It is actually one of those *under the bed* plastic storage boxes. I have a plug-in down there but other than that and simple vacuuming I don't worry too much about dirt and/or odor. I have furniture throws on my sofas which help to protect the furniture from cat hair, hacked up hairballs (Trevor chooses to do this on furniture or the kitchen table ) and doggie feet that may be less than clean after romping around outside.

I don't have any tried and true "cleaning miracles" for those of us with kitties! I just try to look the other way and know that the house looks "lived in"!!!!

I do have a caution for you though about your plugins that you stated you use. I have recently come across some emails and articles about these things causing fires since they get so hot in the outlets! PLEASE, be careful! I have not ever used them, but I know that there have been some concerns with them causing devastating house fires. I just wanted you to know about this.... but I don't want you to think that I am an alarmist! Just use caution. Donna

All you need is at least 3 Golden Retrievers in your house, Debbie, then you wouldn't even notice cat hair! LOL!!!!!! I really don't notice cat hair, anymore, just dog hair!!!!!
