I use to have a wonderful cat in the house. A hand held vacuum with brushes worked to remove the cat hair from furniture and fabric. It was an everyday chore but all living things require maintenance.

I have lint rollers in almost every room of my house. You can get packages of 6 or so at Costco for a fairly good price. I even have one in the bathroom for when I get dressed.

thanks, put one can in my Amazon cart. i have 3 indoor cats!

I made my oldest son a quilt that he just loves - it stays on his bed and he uses it every night. He also has a kitten that he loves and she stays on his bed too!

The last time I was at his house I saw the quilt and it looked like a giant, queen size hairball! :eek: He said he doesn't bother trying to remove it because it would just get covered again...

That would drive me crazy, but his quilt...his cat...

Yes...another layer of warmth! ;)

Static guard spray will help, but as everyone has said- cat hair is a fact of life in a cat household. I too have a white cat. Spraying static guard on my quilt makes removing cat hair easier I can just use a lint roller most of the time. My cat firmly believes every quilt I make is for him.

A friend and I were making our friend, Bonnie, a quilt for her 50th birthday. My friend has a cat, when she gave me her part back to finish I was horrified about the cat hair. I tried like crazy to get it all off. When we gave it to our friend she opened it up and suddenly from no-where her cat came to investigate. And I just laughed, and my quilting friend said she was concerned about the cat hair but there was no need. I never said anything to either of them. For me, once I give the quilt to the person, whatever happens, happens. I just hope they like it and will use it anyway they want.

Our pair of darlings -- Hobey Cat (white) and Alley Cat (black) -- made no fabric safe from some furry deposits... they groom themselves where ever....
We did vacuum as needed -- sofas and chairs --and wash as needed, but never got too bothered by it...
Kind of like putting up with little children when there are not fully housebroken.... wonder when that happens!

we're a no cat household, but do have 2 dogs (one black, one white) that are allowed into certain rooms of the house (living room, kitchen and dining when we're not preparing food or eating) and not on furniture. I sew and long arm on different FLOORS of the house than where they are allowed to be--but still I will find those few hairs that float in the air or stick to our clothing or shoes and we carry upstairs on us in the sewing rooms. It's impossible to totally prevent.
