- Vitamin supplement
- Soft-bristled brush

Instructions
Feed your cat a diet rich in vitamins, oils and fatty acids. These nutrients help nourish your cat's skin and coat, effectively reducing the amount of hair that is lost during shedding.
Add a vitamin supplement to your cat's diet. Supplements help to compensate for any weak points in your cat's nutrition. A number of commercially available supplements high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can be found at your local veterinarian's office or pet supply store.
Groom your cat at least twice weekly. Start with a soft-bristled brush to collect any loose hair from the coat, then follow with a steel-tooth comb to loosen tangles or matting. The more often you groom, the less hair will collect around the house.
Make up a comfortable location specifically for your cat. Place his bed near the couch while you watch television, or bunch up several soft blankets and lay them at the foot of your bed. This will encourage him to relax in a predetermined area and limit the amount of hair on your couch and bed.
