So far, I'm doing better brushing Kate's fur than her teeth. I'm doing at least every other day with the fur; every three days with the teeth.
Hey, it's better than before.
This video is, to me, remarkable. Not only does the cat not seem to mind the sound of the vacuum cleaner, but, well, watch it and see.
I'd like to see Torpedo's owner try this. He thought the harness and leash was tough.

About Woyton: He's a Poughkeepsie Journal reporter and a dog owner, though not necessarily in that order.
About Kate: She was named after Kate Hepburn. It's the cheekbones. Kate is a (best guess) 14-year-old (even more of a guess) boxer/shepherd mix, who is (absolute certainty!) a sweetheart and the best dog in the whole wide world.

What a great cat! What a great idea! Have you ever tried this with Kate? You might have to introduce it to her slowly, bit by bit, but it would clearly solve much of The Shedding Problem.
I do use a vacuum attachment on Kate. She doesn't seem to mind it. Her tail wags the entire time, and the noise from the vacuum doesn't bother her either.
As far as solving The Shedding Problem, I am hoping that's it's just too early to tell. However, the living room has pockets of hair on the floor and I vacuumed the room on Saturday.
