Can you deal with cat hair by vacuuming your cat?

Our question this week was:

My cat seems to like to be vacuumed and it really does help get up cat hair. Is this “okay”.

Answer

Hi – thanks for your email. You wrote asking if it is okay to vacuum your cat as a method to control hair in your home. The answer is yes, as long as your cat doesn’t mind. Some cats are terrified of the vacuum and others don’t mind it.
