It’s a problem every pet owner must face: Dealing with your pet shedding his fur. We cats have enough trouble dealing with shedding of our own, but our pet humans are the absolute worst when it comes to their fur! While some humans only deposit their smelly fur in our comfortable beds, or what they like to call “laundry baskets,” others leave their dirty coverings all over the house! An unclean environment littered by smelly human fur can cause problems such as pet allergies. Yes, you can be allergic to your human! So, if you are plagued with pet shedding problems, here are some tips for you!
1. Move your comfortable basket over on its side. If your human can not deposit his fur into your cat basket, then maybe he will be more inclined to leave his sheddings in the giant purr box instead (humans call this a “washing machine”). You can still sleep in your basket with it turned over. In fact, if you turn it upside-down, it doubles as a protective fortress for you to peer out amongst your enemies and not be seen.
2. Pets are confused when you encourage their poor activity. Therefore, if you play with a bit of fur that your pet recently shed, then you should put it in the giant purr box when you are through with it, instead of leaving it in the middle of the floor. This way, your pet human will learn the correct behavior to emulate.
3. The bathroom is the worst place in the house for pet shedding. Who likes to take a bath and then step out into a pile of fur? Discourage your human’s poor behavior by putting his fur in the tub or toilet where they can be washed down the drain. If the drain clogs, just use one of those long metal snakes to push it out.
4. Remind your pet human that you wear your fur all the time, and he can wear his too. You bathe in your fur, so can he. You sleep in your fur, so can he. You don’t even take off your fur to go to the litterbox or go (shudder) swimming. If it’s good enough for a cat, it’s good enough for his pets!
