Daisy had a great idea with a piece of carpet of his own. Or you might try one of those pillow or mat things that Casper & Kitty have. I know they make all sorts of things for cats to sleep on that might help. Tubby sheds horrendously too - and he's a short haired cat! I put towels down in his usual sleeping spots (like my white couch!) so all I have to do is throw the towel in the wash. But he doesn't get much on the carpet - except his "usual" spots. My mom's cat is the same way as Karmel too, and she puts blankets down in his usual sleeping spots, and vacuums a lot.

Oh, and Karmel must be getting big by now. Any new pictures?
