I don't mean all the hair.

Is there a commercial cat bed that helps remove loose cat hair?

Do you know of a home made device?

What is the most likely fabric, mat, pillow, or whatever resting place
a cat might tolerate that also helps remove loose cat hair?

It would be something that can be brushed off, shaken out, laundered,
or some other way periodically purged of the loose hair.

Thank you.

Don't pay attention to Mary. She is probably at "that time" of the
month.
I have my window seats covered with fleece. Amber seems to leave a lot
of hair on the fleece.

Mike is right fleece grabs a lot of hair but there is no shaking it out.
You have to launder it to get it loose.

Not sure about the USA but in the UK we have these roller things with sticky
pull off's what can be used to pick up excess hair. Other than that just use
parcel tape. :)

Purr Pads do that pretty well. You can get them at Walmart. Cats really do
love them.

That's what I have and they do work well to trap the fur. But you
can't wash them or they'll disintegrate, so you'll just need to replace
them periodically.

What about using a sticky roller thing or packaging tape?

Well you could just pull the fur out with your teeth, but if it
were me I would just replace them. Really.

IF I used purpads, then that would depend on which girlfriend.
However, I don't use purpads. I brush my cats. They enjoy it.

I just use regular towels for my cats. They like laying on them and they're
easily washed. They do trap hair. Tiger likes to sleep in her cat carrier
which has a folded towel in it. I always forget about it when I do laundry
and now I think I'm just going to throw it out. It's more cat hair than
cotton at this point. The towel used to be white, now it's gray/black.

I have used Purr Pads before. Tiger liked them at first but then eventually
lost interest and I threw them out. Never tried washing them.
