Just curious how much your DLX sheds. Scooter, is a shedding machine! He gets brushed at least every other day, often once a day (He loves it, btw).
No mater how much I brush him, he leaves a trail of fur everywhere he goes. We have to keep him locked out of our closet as it's dual level. One pass under the low hanging clothes, and they have fur all over them. It's not seasonal with him either, he sheds the same all year long.
Not complaining, just curious if your guys & gals shed a lot, a little or somewhere in between???

I don't know.. sure sounds like complaining to me !  If you would like to send Scooter back to me that's fine !  Shedding?? Nope none here ;D SHHHH Jackie.. poor thing leaves her each time with a furry butt!! Yes, I have a few that shed but I also have some that don't.. really! No kidding. I don't know why some do and some don't. It is usually a seasonal thing with the big shedders but once they shed out it's over. Usually it's the longer hair that do the most shedding but then Tarzan doesn't shed at all >> Go figure that one..I'll let the other do the talking but for me.. I like hair.. not into bald :-) |

Shedding! Shedding! Your wondering if Scooter is over shedding!!! Hahahaha.. I'm just thankful that we don't have a ceiling fan in this place! Our son Jasper came home one day and bound up the stairs. The entire entry way looked like a field of blooming Dandelions and I just swept the other day! Honest! I don't know which is worse...Emma or Gizmo. If they sit on my lap and it doesn't matter how long...I'm covered. It's 24/7 with Emma. She likes her Furminator but she still reminds me of pigpen from the Peanuts characters. I don't get a lot of fur off of Gizzy when if brush him and still he leaves a bunch on my lap. I would say that Blue sheds the least. He hates getting brushed and I when he's bounding around here like the twinkle toes he is...I never see hair floating around. I like to hang MY clothes to dry in the house...so I have a drying rack set up all the time for them. My little Miss Emma loves to lay on that! Oh Joy! I have a new rack that I can pull up to the ceiling in the new house just because of her  I might sound like I'm complaining but it's only cause....really....I'm just lazy Love my kitties!!!!

HAY!! They're cat's, they have hair!! Deal with it  Perhaps you need to trade them in for some of those hairless wrinkled thing's??? Ok, I'll take the hair any day.. and do !! Such a small price to pay for so much love and fun.. but some really don't shed all the time, just some of them do ;D You guys are just the lucky ones who have the fur ball's.. like I said , just send them back if you don't want them  |

Hay Dan, could it be that you just live in a very hot climate?? I know for me it is the spring and summer that are the worst but during the winter and fall I have very little hair to vacuum up after  Jackie?? I know you live in Canada so that can't be your problem.. maybe with the big new house you won't see it as much ;D |

Relax Arlene.
We all know cats (DLX or not) shed, poop, pee, climb on things, get into stuff we wish they wouldn't, etc., etc., etc.
No one wants to send them back. It was just a question...

I know Dan.. I just want to give you a hard time.. a gal has to have some fun ;D Besides I had quite the day yesterday.. it started with waking up to water running in the master bath, since both Kim & I were in bed we know what was going on.. YUP!! they had the hot water turned on in the sink! The whole bathroom was steamed up and there hanging on the end of Kim's electric razor with all four paws was Griz.. it was still plugged in and it was hanging over the edge of the sink..he was swinging back and forth even getting a push from the little Scooter look-a-like when it slowed down!! then in the garden tub was my window plant dumped and the other 2 playing in the dirt!! So no hot water, the septic tank was flooded, 2 cat's covered in dirt and Kim razor with the cord almost chewed thru was how my day started.. had to bath the kids ( as best I could with out any hot water)and get ready for Jacquelyn and her family to pick up 2 of the monsters:-) I got so freaked out that which ever kitten had been chewing on the cord could have been killed, so now everything is unplugged.. wish I know how to unplug these little brats  So you see I too can complain ... hair?? that's the least of it around here Oh and this morning I found Cappi peaking out of a gofer hole that went from inside their compound to the out side !! When her head popped out I thought I would have a stroke!! I had to flush her back out of it and back into the compound with a garden hose I'm telling you... never a dull moment around here  So if I want to tease you about returning your babies.. ya gotta know I'm kidding because all I need is more cat's !!! ;D |
