Incidentally, my avatar does not shed. :)
Furminators are wonderful!! My girls don't shed like your boy does. They do "blow" their coat once in the spring. My cats however shed constantly!! I use the Furminator on those long-haired fall balls once a week and it does wonders preventing the massive fur bunnies from blowing out from underthings when the door opens.
I send all my groomed fur to a friend of mine that spins it and then weaves or knits it into wonderful things. Don't think it strange. People Wear wool, angora, and alpaca. Sheep, bunnie, goats, and, er, well, alpaca. Just think about snuggling down in an warm kitty cat fur scarf!
