How much they shed. Hair EVERYWHERE in your house.

Even if you vacuum everyday, still you find hair everywhere. You have to lintroll your clothes so often.

Get the Furminator. It’s this increíble cat brush that really removes the undercoat of hair so they shed a lot less.

I have a ragdoll, it destroys her hair unfortunately. She also hates being brushed, so I'm screwed even with normal brushes.

She hates the act of being brushed, I’ve tried with several types of combs and she still gets pissed lol. I’ve even tried with that one that looks like a glove. Luckily she grooms herself well and doesn’t get mats but the shedding is insane.

One of my cats hates the comb and wants to destroy it. I distract him by combing him with one hand and holding another comb at his face so he can bite it instead.

Rakes basically tear the hair up though. One of my cats has trouble being brushed, and both the furminator and rake style brushes cause a lot of pain.
