Pet hair... yeah.
(this was from ONE session of brushing him last spring)

Pet hair FTL. We have 3 cats and they shed like mad. We got a $1600 Rainbow though and it gets used twice a week.. sometimes 3 if we are having guests and it does a fantastic job. I can't wait until those little fuckers die. They are 14, 15 and 16. My Boxer sheds very little. We also have a few Ionic Pro's and the seems to keep the pet dander down as well.

my cat demands to spend most of her day outside. She doesn't shed too much the rest of the time.

Sheds...

Sheds even more...

Two long haired cats here. I feel your pain.

This is why we live in 800 sq ft. There is only so many places the hair can go. It's the same amount, just less space I have to vacuum.

The reason you live in a small place is because your cats shed?

I would think that is you lived an a larger home the hair would be spread out and less noticeable.

Okay, no that is not necessariy the reason.

I am going to vacuum once a week no matter what. So, in the 800 sq ft place it takes me all of 10 minutes to vacuum the whole place. Where as in the 1800 sq ft house it would take me 25 minutes.

For those with roombas, how much does it actually hold? Seems too small...

I've only heard that they suck (or actually, don't suck), but apparently they provide endless entertainment for cats, however. Go to YouTube and look up "Roomba Cat".
