The most common sight in cat-owning households is the "cat hair" floating everywhere in the air. For cats, the amount of fur changes with seasonal changes and temperature fluctuations, affecting their body temperature regulation. This directly results in a constant stream of cat hair in the house. If not cleaned up every few days, it's not just a matter of cat hair flying around; it can negatively impact the health of both the owner and the cat. 
How should I deal with cat hair?
1. Adhesive tape
The simplest and most effective method is to use lint remover tape, which is very convenient for removing pet hair from sofas and clothes. With a "rip," the hair is gone. You can buy transparent packing tape from stationery stores, or you can buy special lint rollers, which are available on Taobao and in pet stores. One particularly useful option is the 3M lint roller. The roller contains 3M adhesive tape; after rolling the roller over your body, the hair sticks to the tape, then you can tear off the tab and use a new one. There is also another type of lint remover, also in a tube, made of a sticky soft adhesive. After applying the lint, rinse it under water to remove the hair. After washing and drying, it can be reused. 2. Brushes
Pet stores sell brushes specifically designed for cleaning pet hair, which are very useful. Brush your cat or dog once or twice a day to collect all the naturally shed hair on the brush and remove it all at once, instead of letting their fur get tangled and run around the house. This way, pet hair won't be scattered in furniture crevices or in the air.
3. Home appliances
Vacuum cleaners can be used to remove fine pet hair. Having an air purifier in your home is also very effective at reducing airborne pet hair. Additionally, the increasingly popular robotic vacuum cleaners are also very effective at cleaning up pet hair.
4. Economy type
Using wet hands to pick up hair is convenient and economical. The obvious drawback is that it might be too dry in winter. To clean hair from the floor, you can wrap the outside of the broom in pantyhose before sweeping. The friction between the nylon pantyhose and the floor generates static electricity, which attracts the hair. It's recommended to use a plastic broom, as it generates static electricity more effectively.
5. Treating the symptoms
Bathe your pet regularly. Shedding in small animals doesn't always happen only when the seasons change. Using the wrong shampoo can also cause shedding, sometimes even more severely than natural shedding. Also, pay attention to your pet's diet; avoid feeding them overly salty foods.
When cats shed a lot in the fall, it's best to have a comb ready in advance. Whether your cat is long-haired or short-haired, you should brush it daily. This not only removes dirt and dust from its fur but also cleans up any loose hairs still clinging to its body.
Removing cat hair stuck to clothes can be a hassle. A Japanese invention called Gromo combines tape and a comb in one, allowing you to groom and massage your cat while simultaneously collecting loose cat hair. This significantly reduces the amount of cat hair on floors, sofas, beds, and other surfaces, saving cat owners a lot of time. Owners can also use it to directly remove cat hair from clothes – convenient and quick.
Of course, besides daily grooming and other care, special attention should be paid to their diet. We know that a cat's fur growth requires abundant protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Their daily diet should include a nutritionally balanced meal. Providing some high-protein foods will be more beneficial for the growth of new fur.
Furthermore, cats aren't necessarily trash; they can be used to create handicrafts. Some Japanese netizens have taken advantage of cats' shedding habits, collecting large quantities of shed cat hair to create exquisite, fluffy handicrafts. This technique is technically called "needle-punching wool." By repeatedly pricking the wool with a barbed needle, it's shaped into various adorable forms. These Japanese netizens cleverly replaced the raw wool with readily available cat hair, solving a major problem for cat owners and turning waste into treasure, perfectly processing the unwanted cat hair.
