on being a two-cat household...

[lagilman]

So far, so good. Pandora's cranky but non-aggressive. Boomer's the original mellow surfer-dude purr machine. Human is covered with the total sum of two cats' shedding.

Life's pretty good.


Updates as they happen.

there are my two monste^H^H^H^H^H kitties..

I recently bought a roomba which is helping with the multiple sheddings. I let it loose in the morning when I leave for work and come back to a fur free house!

So THAT's what she looks like when she's not scurrying under the bed away from the evil Mittens. *chuckle*

BTW, if I heard him right, you will have access to a human with a cell phone camera there tomorrow. Although, I do admit that those pictures aren't nearly as good as with a real camera.

What is a roomba and how does it help with cat shedding?

That's amazingly cool. I think I want one!

Wonder if they'll cheerfully deal with tile and rugs.

my place is all tiled and rugs and works just fine :) I have the discovery model

it's that flat cordless vac that keeps hoovering until it runs out of battery power (and then docks itself and recharges).

It also, I'm told, doubles as a cat toy.

I've been thinking about getting one, but wasn't sure how effective they actually were.

I entertained the idea of getting one, but Maine Coon fur is damn near impossible to get out with a full upright vacuum cleaner. Now that we're a two-shorthair-cat household, I'm entertaining the idea again. If you get one, I'd love to hear how they do. They're about $200 these days, but I've seen them on sale for cheaper.
