As the temperature slowly rises, the naughty master cat at home has started the crazy hair loss mode again. On the sofa, on the bed, on the table, on the clothes on the floor, there are cat hairs visible to the naked eye without cleaning for two days. When the wind blows casually, the shit shovel officer will sneezed several times incessantly.
In every shedding season, there are always two huge questions: Why do cats shed so much?

Whether it's a sticky hair tube or an air purifier, who is the ultimate skill to solve the problem of cat hair?
Why do cats shed so much? When it comes to shedding, cats are incredibly gifted.

1. A staggering amount:
In humans, a pore typically only grows a single hair (some people may not even have one). A cat's pore can grow dozens of cat hairs. This is because the hair follicles under your cat's skin come together to form compound hair follicles. Compound hair follicles usually consist of one main follicle and N accessory follicles. The main hair follicle grows long and thick main hair, which is what we usually call guard hair.

The accessory hair follicles will grow two different forms of cat hair, the thick-thin-thick one is called awn hair, and the curly one is called fluff. Adding these hairs together, the cat's hair density is about 11,000 hairs per square centimeter. The body surface area of a 4 kg cat is about 2500 square centimeters, that is to say, there are about 27.5 million cat hairs on a cat.

2. Hair loss time:
The growth rate of these tens of millions of hairs will change with the duration of light. New hair grows while old hair is shed. That is to say, from April and May until January next year, your cat may be in a state of "dandelion" hair loss. Fall once a year, 10 months at a time.

So for these cat hairs, is there any good way to remove hair?

What are the magic tools for removing cat hair?


1. For the cat itself
It is recommended to brush the cat's hair at least once a week, and try to comb the long-haired cat every day. Choose a comb with greater friction, which can take away more of the cat's floating hair during the combing process.

However, because of the high friction, too fast or too hard will easily hurt the cat. Pay attention to the intensity of grooming and the cat's mood. Stop in time when the cat gets impatient. If there is too much hair shedding, you can also give the cat a bath in spring and summer. The hairiest part of a cat's body is the abdomen. But if the master is not used to grooming, you can start from the top of the head and the chin, and gradually transition.

2. Floors and smooth surfaces
The vacuum cleaner has a good cleaning effect on the floor and smooth table tops, and it can be called a must-have artifact for families with cats. If it is not convenient to use a vacuum cleaner, you can use rubber gloves and an electrostatic mop, which are also very affordable and easy to use. When cats shed a lot of hair in spring and summer, it is best to clean them every day or every other day. There is a special reminder, when cleaning, you must remember to clean the gaps between sockets and plugs regularly.

3. For soft clothes
For soft clothes, the first thing to mention is the sticky hair tube. In addition to the paper tube version, there are also reusable ones that are also very useful.
For clothes with too much sticky hair, you can use the dryer to heat the clothes before washing. When washing, add fabric softener or white vinegar to make the cat hair fall off the clothes more easily. Remember to clean up after using the dryer and washer.
