I have 3 cat. They were kittens when we got them. We had no clue they were long haired. The hair weaves itself into the fabric, like yoga pants and knitted sweaters.This is what ive tried:Throw clothes in dryer for 5 min on low. Sticky rollers, vinegar in the wash, Vacumned the clothing, don't judge...so far it works the best😉

I have 3 cats and understand completely. One thing I discovered was to put a fabric softener sheet in the dryer with the hairy clothes. It does help.
Using house hold rubber gloves is great for removing dog and cat hairs off your clothes, and especially your car upholstery. The static from rubber makes hair stick to gloves. If you rinse the gloves off when you are done the cat hair will wash away.
Good luck with this. Short of getting a hairless cat I haven't found a perfect solution. Sorry!
Hi Teri,
We had a similar problem with our cats. For a long time I used duct tape. I'd cut of strips, put it on the material and then pull it off ( cheaper than sticky rollers). I recently found a "fur magnet" on Amazon that really works well. I am pleasantly surprised and extremely pleased. This is the one we got, but there are a few other brands. BTW, the "self-grooming" in the link means that it "self-grooms" itself, not the cats. ;) I hope this helps. Wishing you the best.

Just a wash cloth dampened with water rubbed on clothes/upholstery rolls the hair into balls then you can throw it out.I use a slicker brush on the cat condos,carpet &pet beds ; micro fiber cloths for dusting; Great shark navigator vacuum,vacuum everything,pets beds,our beds,furniture,then wash the canister out with water after each use. Brush the cats regularly shorthaired breeds use a Furminator long haired breeds use a slicker brush.I have 3 dogs and 6 cats. Duct tape and lint rollers. Don't let them lay on just anything like clothes piles,in closets,towels;keep that stuff picked up & in closets drawers.It's alot of work but I would not be happy without their company,they keep me smiling.
