Living with Persian kitty boys means…
…furballs on the blinds…
…and furballs all over your carpets less than 24 hours after you vacuum!
Post 1722: living with furballs…

Andy and I miss Dougy
We have wood floors, but fur balls all over the soft furniture, and my Beba is not even Persian – just a fluffy long hair girl!
That’s all it takes! On the other hand, when I had short-haired Louie the ginger cat, his hair was everywhere, too, just in shorter lengths. LOL!
Furballs are well known in our house, too. 🙂
I bet! Two cats can fill the vacuum several times over in my small apartment, so I can only imagine how more cats would affect the vacuuming statistics!
make sure to always have the same coloured carpet as their fur!….no fur balls!
LOL! I’d go one step beyond that and have wood floors instead, for ease of cleaning up after them!
get one of those self cleaning vacuums & make it so they can lay on top.I’ve actually seen pictures of cats doing this.
I also saw a horror story involving a Roomba vacuum that ran over a dog turd.

There’s a video on cleaning the poop out of your Roomba, too!
talk about the shit hitting the fan eh!
I never considered that scenario Doug!
Me either. When I saw that video, I gave up my plan to buy one of those vacuums!
you know you could trade the boys in for two of those hairless cats!
LOL! Then I’d have to vacuum the floor to collect enough Persian hair to knit sweaters for them!
I would hate to come home to that! 🙂
Geez! I’d considered getting one till I saw that horror.
Was cleaning out the inside of the frig yesterday—there was even cat hair in there. Makes me wonder–what goes on when we aren’t home?
Good question, Joleen! Andy is clever enough to open cabinets and drawers, for example. Dougy observes his brother and imitates him, but hasn’t quite got the tricks down. Why not learn to open a refrigerator door? Of course, living with a cat is to live with no end of kitty hair everywheee, too! LOL!
It’s the same at my house. If you’re like Mom, you wouldn’t have it any other way, ’cause if there were not those things then there wouldn’t be a kitty in the house. Purrs.
After Louie the ginger cat (a short-haired tabby cat) died, I still found his hair on blinds and in vacuumed floor dirt for months afterwards.
Oh the fur balls on the blinds
Oh the fur ball on the blinds
If it wasn’t for Persian cats
……….it would all be curtains
LOL! And the curtains would be shredded, with traces of cat fur on them for good measure!
I understand completely, it’s one reason I am glad the house has wood floors, The old apartment had wall to wall carpet and it often looked like a giant lint filter, since I was still working and had less time for vacuuming.
My apartment has wall-to-wall carpet everywhere but the bathrooms. With rare exceptions, if there is diarrhea or barf to clean up, it is usually on the carpeted parts of the apartment. I never understood the point of carpets in areas like kitchens and dining rooms, and those in my apartment show specific examples of why it is never a good idea. Lucky you having wood floors!
I one point in time I had 4 cats and 3 dogs. Furballs? They were furmountains!
Ha! I can only imagine!
They are worth it though 🙂
But you loves your cats so that you clean it again and again.
I’ve got to the place where I don’t worry about how messy it looks. I just vacuum on a regular basis – daily or weekly, it will always need vacuuming!! Of course, if I know someone is coming to visit, I might do a quick vacuum and pick up, but (fortunately!) I usually meet friends outside the home.
Roger, wilko, understood, Doug. Hehehe! Bless em.
Ah the joys of cat fur!
Tons and tons and tons of it! Fluffy mounds of it. Piles and piles and piles of it. Even the Dyson vacuum designed for pet hair over-heated and choked recently on it! Pretty cats, Persian kitties, but they are major high maintenance, and the routine death of vacuums all over the world! (Two prior vacuums in this house died in the service of picking up pet hair….)
Dyson update: Using a kitty wand toy wand, I managed to dislodge the 57 pound furball in the hosing that choked the motor. Well, maybe it wasn’t 57 pounds, but it was bigger than a breadbox!
Just be glad that you yourself do not have long hair, too …
LOL! Yes, three males in one home can make a horrific mess in no time, regardless of their species!
You are truly innocent, if you think females can’t.
Yes, I know, though I prefer to think most females are neater than the three of us!
