1. The most important step in getting rid of cat hair in your home is to keep it from getting loose there in the first place. If you brush your cat on a regular basis--anywhere from daily to once every two weeks, depending on how much your cat sheds - the cat will have less hair to shed on its own. In fact, most cats enjoy being brushed as long as you use gentle pressure with a brush that isn't scratchy. 2. A cat's skin and coat are easily affected by the animal's diet, so...
