Question
I really want an indoor cat that I can keep in my room and bathroom and make ledges on the wall for the cat to run along and play and I will have a catio (an outdoor enclosed patio for cats), it will be in my yard along the side of the house, but my dad and brother are allergic to cats. My dad said that I can have a cat if I can somehow make sure no cat hair or dander leaves my room and bathroom and goes into the rest of the house. What can I do to keep the cat hair and dander from leaving my bedroom and bathroom and then going into the rest of my house.
Answer
Manage the Hair Problem Regularly While I think you'll find it nigh impossible to completely eradicate the hair, there are a few of things that you could do to significantly cut down on the problem.
- Vacuum/Sweep Daily: This should cut down on the amount of hair present in the rooms that you are traveling from.
- Brush your Cat Daily: This will reduce the amount of hair that your cat sheds be preemptively handling it. Also, many cats love being brushed!
- Lint Roll Yourself Whenever Leaving the Cat Zone: This last measure prevents you accidentally transporting any hair that you may have missed with the previous two steps out of the cat zone.
