Cat Hair


My BSH cream colour point has really started to shed fur for the first time as he is very young and I don't think that they shed when they are young. Can anybody recommend what brush I should be using on him the one that I have does not seem to do the trick!!

Many thanks

Abbi

Re: Cat Hair


I use one of those glove thingys on Cheetah and it works brill, especially cos you can shape it to the cats body.

Re: Cat Hair


Hope you don't mind me interrupting the Azz & Abbi show ....lol . Great banter anyway!
My moggie,Cassie, is also moulting a lot. In fact she sheds fur all year round. I regularly brush her (& use a glove) every day but she still brings up fur balls. Also, as she has been allowed on the furniture, we end up covered in 'mohair'! Is it usual to shed so much fur all year ? Any help or ideas appreciated.

Re: Cat Hair


Hiya Maggs

My mum has a white persian and every time I go there I end up coming out looking like I have a white coat on! It's terrible the fur just sticks to everything!

We have a sticky roller for our clothes which really does the trick when your about the leave the house and want to look a bit more normal!

I am going to try a glove, Archie has cream hair and its almost as bad as the persian at the moment its everywhere!

Re: Cat Hair


Hi Abbi
What a good idea, I'll have to get one of those rollers. I've been using sellotape to shift it for years ...think how much I'll save if I get a roller!
Thanks!

Re: Cat Hair


Maaaaaaaaaags! Nice of you to join in! I know Cassie probably wouldn't take to it, but how about giving her a bath? It'll mean you'll get rid of a great big bunch of hair at once! lol

I've noticed that Cheetahs hair is coming off quite a bit but I think partly due to me not being able to groom her since we've moved, as I don't know where the glove is lol

You say Cassies hair sheds all year round, but she doesn't look bald does she? lol She looks normal, so I don't think it's anything to worry about. I have heard that diet can cause excess shedding tho, perhaps try her on some JamesWellbeloved for a few weeks and see how it goes?

Abbiiiiii! (lol) (3 more posts to go?!)
Persians are HARD work, u have to groom them everyday for at least 10 mins or they get knots! But I bet your mums is stunning tho! (post some pix Abs!)

Sticky rollers are a good idea - Mags have you tried them?

Hey Abbi, when Archies down ur mums over easter, you can blame all the shedding on her Persian lol (cream-white probaly couldn't tell the diff! lol)

And Mags it's good to see u here! You'll have to catch up to Abbi and I to get the 'senior member' tag - it'll take 100 posts tho! lol

Re: Cat Hair


Hey Azz!!!

Yeah will get some pix for her babies if I can and post them! But you know me with posting pix Azz!!!

I could not live without the sticky roller - it's good for the sofa too! But I use it every day just before I leave for work!

Yeah nice to see you here Maggs!
