I have two cats and two tropical birds. I put the machine in front of the two bird cages to collect feathers and dust. It works best collecting dust and does collect some feathers but have not seen any cat hair in the filter. I run it on the highest speed 24/7. If you [;an on getting one buy the extra filter with the heap filter included. It will save you a little money. I have owned this machine for two years very well built!

Well, if there is some airborne hair nearby it might get sucked in, but once it settles on the ground it is not going to get sucked in. I'd say nearby airborne dander has a better chance of getting sucked into it, but it's certainly not going to replace vacuuming. When I had a MC cat, we would get him professionally bathed and groomed about every other month or so and then brush him every few days. It made him much much happier and he loved the attention from the professional groomers.

Realistically I'd say around 80%-90% of foreign airborne objects, depending on the life of the filter. The unit itself is half the size of an RD-D2 unit (yes from star wars). Its very quiet up until the last setting. I have it in my master bedroom which is about 20x20 and has made a noticeable difference in my breathing, especially noted in the mornings. I no longer have a stuffy nose or cotton mouth. My fiance has 4 cats and a dog, so overall I myself am impressed with the unit. The only thing I find annoying was the remote control. The tab on the back doesn't lock into place letting the battery tray protrude a little. Hope this helps.

It does not remove the hair, I have 3 German Shepard Dogs, but the air itself is much cleaner. Pet allergies caused by dander seem to be reduced. Perfume, frying onions, and even human gas are quickly picked up by the sensor and high power is automatically turn on until the air is pure again. In Texas we have lots of seasonal allergies and I find they are reduced in the home if this runs constantly. It is very quite and looks pretty in a room. Very easy to clean as well. 110% recommendation!

Well I have a cat so his hair gets all over the place. So not so well. But if you have a lent brush its gonna get the job done, though it will take you a good 10mins to get all the hair off

I don't have a cat; however, this works fantastic on my dogs. it removes a lot of undercoat, the shedding is significantly less, and I think they were cooler last summer because of it. And they look better between brushings. I would THINK that having less undercoat would logically translate to less furballs - but even if it did not solve this problem, you would be happy in other ways with this product.

I have two cats (one a long hair domestic) and both shed profusely! I had an Oreck that I thought did a good job but was getting old. I bought the Navigator because it was recommended by several friends. I vacuumed with the Oreck and then followed with my new Navigator just to test it. WOW...You would not believe how much hair it pulled for the carpet. I was amazed! I think you will be pleased.

I have a cat with very long hair. It picks up a ton of hair, I couldn't say how it will work for dog hair.

i have same issues. bought to remove cat hair from my clothes. have used on multiple shirts and pants both wet and dry and it MIGHT pickup 10% of the hair.

I have found it to be very good at removing long hair from the dog so will no doubt work for the cats as well. It takes a bit of work but is worth the effort and is the most successful item I have yet found for pet hair removal. I have used it on carpet, furniture and blankets..

I am guessing that cat hair is to fine for the comb. It is more for a dog. A Flea Comb (for cats) would be better for your cat. I use that for my cats.

I would be surprised if this was sufficient for shaving. I have long hair maine coon cats, of which a few need occasional shave downs despite all my daily grooming. I do have to use a prescription sedative from my vet in order to calm them down beforehand. Its better for them and for you. They won't be so scared of the shaver or scissors. Periodically my husband do butt trims only and with the two of us, one speaking sweetly to them and holding them in position, we can get by without sedation of any kind. It only takes 5 minutes.

I wished I knew that it did. I use this on my Sphynx Hairless cat at the advice of the breeder to remove oils from her body, so she can regulate her body temperature. I always follow up with a inexpensive good smelling shampoo after using it. The odor is a bit strong...though you do get used to it. You also have to be careful you get it rinsed off thoroughly, and that you keep it away from the eyes and mouth. The dirt just rolls off of her body with this product. This is only my personal experience with the product. Believe me, I had and have my concerns using a product that does not list cats as an animal to use it on. A very individual decision, though it works for me. Sorry that this does not answer your specific question.

It works really well getting my dogs hair off of things. I liked it so much I bought 2 more. I would think it would work well on cats hair.

Yes I have 2 Ragdoll cats and the comb works great on both cats !!! However my Male Bicolor seems to have a thicker coat and I need to also use a rake on him Not sure why his fur is different was bought from a breeder without papers But his fur will get mats if I don't keep him combed through my female is silky smooth The comb is the best purchase I have made for grooming I also have Chinese Crested Powder Puffs with long hair WORKS GREAT !!!!

No. It gets the fine hair underneath. I have used it on my lab and a cat who sheds a ton . The cat especially looks so much better!

Yes it does! I love it. I bought it because we have 2 cats and keeping the couches and living room furniture free of cat hair is a pain, plus I am all about easy!

I have 2 cats, one with short and one with long hair, i used it to clean my bed and didn't work, it just move around the hair, for me it was a waist of money

We do not have a cat so don't know if it will pick up cat hair. We did have a Lab with a heavy coat and it did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use the rug shampoo. We do not have a cat so cannot answer the part of the question re cat hair. We did have a Black Lab with a heavy undercoat and the cleaner did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use this machine. We were actually pleasantly surprised as to how well it cleaned our rug which is a light colored Berber.

Yes. I have 3 cats, and it does a good job with cat hair. Wait, why is it called fur when it's on the cat, but it's called "cat hair" when it's blowing around my house? Either way, this vacuum can handle it.
