How Do You Keep A House Clean W/Cats?

Question

My cats are indoor cats, we have 4 cats. The mom & her kittens. We just got a 2 bedroom apartment & my mom swears up & down that it won't stay clean w/my cats. They will be allowed around the house. They also have their own room so when we leave or at night they can play in & sleep.

What can I do not only to prove her wrong, but make sure our place stays clean? Also, the rooms are big! Plenty of sunlight too.

Answer 1

You need to vacuum more often...that's pretty much it.  I rescue dogs and cats and currently have 4 dogs and 8 cats in my house.

Answer 2

I'm so sorry,I'm with mom.

Don't get me wrong as I do like cats.I just got to the point where cat hairs and cloths didn't mix well.

Sorry

Answer 3

I'm in agreement with your mom too. I love cats too. But unless you want to constantly cleans 24/7 it will be inpossible. The only other alternative would be to get one of those hairless cats. That's why I have outdoor cats only now. 2D

Answer 4

I have indoor cats as well as a few other animals but I keep my place extremly clean. It sounds like you've already done a huge part by giving them their very own space. I recommend cleaning the litter box every day, this will make a HUGE difference (and your cats will appreciate it). Also make sure you vaccum at least once a week to control the pet hair. I like to use arm&hammer pet fresh carpet powder. It helps lift up the hair from the floor and makes your house smell clean.

Answer 5

I have 7 cats and my house does get messy if I don't stay on top of things. Use a Swiffer often. It really catches hair without having to lug out the vacuum cleaner. Also, use clumping litter and litter pans with domes. Since the cats have their own room, I think you'll be fine.
