I have 4 cats. I love them very much.

They also produce more fur than there are grains of sand in this God forsaken earth. There’s fur in my clothes, food, mouse, ceiling fan, body crevices.

Help. Me.

Robot vacuum. We programmed it for morning and evening cleanup so the built up is okish. You have to accept that this is your life meow

I run mine daily and manually vacuum once a week.

This is the way.

We have two cats and a dog, like you, the robot runs twice a day and we do a thorough vacuuming once or twice a week.

Do those reusable ones actually work okay? Or do I need the disposable paper ones?

I have one of these and it works surprisingly well. The gray squeegee looking flap flips back and forth as you roll it causing the red strips to take turns sliding into the cylindrical housing where they get wiped off so the hair collects inside. It essentially relies on the red strips short fibers snagging hair better than the fabric you’re wiping it on which is usually smoother (the only thing I could see it not working on would be like a really fuzzy soft sweater or something with its own stiff short fibers that catches hair). Static might be helping there too.

I got these in January. I’ve started to replace household single-use plastics and this one turned out to be a pretty good buy. They’re great for sturdy, unpatterned material. I use it to defuzz the cat tree and it is so satisfying. I only use it on one of the couch covers, though, as the one with a pattern in the surface of the material catches and snags. The vacuum takes care of the rest. The rest that I notice, anyway.

Is there a particular one that you would recommend that is the biggest bang for the buck? Having a robot vacuum would be cool but I know some brands are more expensive than others.

Can recommended the Eufy RoboVac. Its made a huge difference and requires little effort to set up. I run it every other day and its basically eliminated “tumbleweeds”.

Thanks! I’ll check that one out. Ha, I have hardwood floors so tumbleweeds between the cat hair, dust, and them ripping apart their cat tree they are a pretty common site. Having this around would definitely help!

I have a Collie. I just keep getting the most expensive vacuums I can until all the hair inevitably binds to our pores and turns the whole family feral.
