    Hello AnnMarie,

    Brush your cats or vacuum them if they will let you. Otherwise book them into the cat parlour for a wash and brush up!

    I have never heard of anything that would work except the type of fabric. Silk is a great fabric that prevents dog or cat hair from sticking to its surface. Even though it will still be on the blanket, it will be easier to shake off since it doesn’t actually stick. You can easily run through a silk sheet with your dog sponge or lint roller to get all of the pet hair off.

    They do make a spray the repels wet things from sticking to fabric called Never Wet that repels things from sticking but that is a spray and for some reason you said you don't want a spray. Other than than good luck with pet hair. I have been battling that one for over 50 years.

    Or you can try an anti-static spray (which you said you would rather not have) on the bed ruffle. Or just do with out the dust ruffle, which is finally what I had to do with my cats.

    Could you make a little tunnel out of cardboard they could use? Place it somewhere you don’t see readily. Maybe they’d prefer that and not brush against the ruffle! :)

    Hello AnnMarie, I feel for you, I have a Chow and in the spring and summer it is all about the shedding fur, I use lint rollers alot!! Is your dust ruffle the type you can remove easily? If so, just take it off and toss it into the dryer on low or fluff air for about 10 minutes an that will remove a lot of the fur. If unable to remove the ruffle, try using the vacuum with the fuzzy duster end, it is easier than using no attachment at all. Hope this helps !
