We have 7 large indoor cats and have cat fur all over
the place. I brush them out frequently but it doesn't
seem to help. DH wanted to wear a black jacket out
today and was showing me that the fur held about 6"
away just seemed to fly on it when he let go. I busted
out laughing but he wasn't impressed. I have the sticky
rollers, Pledge Pet Hair pickup, lint brush, etc. Is there
anything else that will help??
1|1|static usually occurs in the house when it's too dry.....if you can, place disposable pieplates/butter dishes, etc of water on/in front of your heat vents/registers....your home's air needs moisture :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:05:40|02/26/2012|

2|1|What kind of heating system do you have? My hvac guy says forced hot air is the worst for dryness There are humidifiers that can be added|teener|teenerzacsneenee@yahoo.com|16:24:33|02/26/2012|
to your heating system We pretty much heated the whole house this year on wood so we always kept a pan of water on top of the woodstove but in the past we have used our vaporizer to combat the problem 3|2| we do have forced hot air and|countrygirl|electricunit@cs.com|17:06:47|02/26/2012|
use a wood stove. We have been using a lot of
wood so we don't have to use as much oil. DH
took the top grate off the stove so that we could
get more heat so that I can't put a pan of water
there. I do have 3 large bowls of water around
there though for the cats. Upstairs I have 2 more
for them. I keep them filled all the time. It does
seem to be very dry though.
4|3| Yikes!!! We|countrygirl|electricunit@cs.com|07:41:11|02/28/2012|
don't have forced air heat. DH said that we
have radiant heat. We did have the forced air
awhile back.

I think wood is probably the worst for drying out the air but just about any type of heat we use in winter will dry it out, along w/the colder temps outside. If you can't place containers of water by your woodstove or heat registers, running a humidifier or a vaporizor like Tina mentioned will help. I prefer the warm mist type. But you want your inside humidity level to be right around 50-55%. Anything less than that & people usually experience dry skin/hair, waking up w/a dry nose/throat, static on clothes, not to mention those mean "snappers" when you touch something.
People tend to experience more frequent colds, coughs, headaches & sore throats as well when the air is too dry as we need the moisture to help keep the mucous flowing.
Smile... it makes people wonder what you're up to!
