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.

Get a pair of gloves like these: https://www.amazon.com/Upgrade-Version-Pet-Grooming-Glove/dp/B01N9KSITZ/

My cat loves to be rubbed down with these gloves and they accumulate a massive amount of fur every session.

Oooh I really like that idea, thanks for the suggestion. I'll order one for sure!

I can also vouch for the gloves. Figure out which of your cats sheds the most and target brushing them at least twice a week, maybe more, if you can get them to hang out while you're watching TV.

Only one of my two cats really does 90% of the shedding, and since I started using the gloves, the level of fur tumbleweeds collecting in the corners of my house had decreased dramatically.

You can also use the gloves to brush the couch to remove fur!

Both our cats hate them.
