My cat never goes into my sewing room or my spare room or my bedroom. On the rare occasion that I leave something down its not a problem when it comes to the cat. she sheds but its not as clingy. The shedding is what made me break her from going into my bedroom, which is now my sewing room. I can never get out of the house without animal hair on me. My problem is my two dogs, all I ever do is vacuum and it still looks like my carpet is growing dog hairs. The good thing on that one is that I have taught them both, the big and little one not to get onto furniture but it sure goes thru the air enough. Use a roller or anything to remove it and then wash when its done.
