Seriously, she has very long, fluffy, light, floating hair. Instead of continually rolling my clothes/bed/couch I decided to try just getting her directly. She doesn't seem to mind (if she did, she'd obviously run away from me). Am I harming her?

Is my little hand held Dirt Devil with the beater brush. The new one has a collection cup and a pleated filter, instead of the 'bag'. It's powerful and pulls hair and dander out of the fabric. For a 'quicker pick-up', I have a broom, that was advertised on TV, that has rubber fingers on one side and a rubber 'squeegee' on the other. Sometimes, if I'm just doing a quick sweep of the floor, I'll 'sweep' the couches and chairs...it really takes the fur off in clumps. With 4 indoor cats, it's hard to keep up with their shedding.

I clean my dog with a lint roller, I'm just very gentle. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. In fact, one company makes one for pets, it's the same thing so I think you're safe. As long as you don't do it rough and pull the hair out by the root there's no possibility of damage to your cat. You're just removing the loose hair.

Not at all all the lint roller is is a sticker and none of the material is going to rub off on the cat so using a lint roller won't harm her at all

No, it's not. I used to to lint roll my old cats fur all the time. She loved it soooooo much. Everytime I picked it up she would come running. If anything I think it's good because it helps get rid of excess fur.

and so the debate rages ...
we us one on our cat sometimes...i also use a slickerbrush, that helps alot.
i don't know of any reason it would harm her, the sticky stays on the roller and keeps the hair so she doesn't lick it and get so many hairballs to upchuck in the middle of the floor in the middle of the night, just so i can step in it and have a very rude experience on the way to the jon.
the important thing is you want to do right by your cat and keep her healthy and happy.

I dont think a lint roller is the best thing to use on your cat. There are several times of cat brushes on the market. There are also brushes designed for long-haired cats. I am sure you can find one at your local petsmart. Plus if you brush her on a regular basis she won't shed as much.

Whatever works for you..... Seriously, though, get a metal toothed dog comb and comb her with that. It'll remove any loose fur and she'll like the way it feels. You'll be surprised how much more you get off with the comb.

If the sticky stuff comes off on her it could make her sick, maybe brushing would be better, a fine tooth metal comb is nice too.

you could do a whole lot better with a metal grooming comb to remove the loose undercoat hairs and a soft-pin slicker brush.

You are not harming her, but any lintroller does leave some residue, which gets licked when kitty grooms.
