If your puppycat doesn't mind (hahahahaha) being bathed. . . you might do that.
A friend of mine with a longhaired cat whose shedding/tangling problem became terrible had her cat clipped at the vets. I'm sure that the clipping process was traumatic -- but the cat LOVED having shorter hair. She became a happier more outgoing cat.

Because I don't self-injure enough?
Maybe you can rub the drier sheets on ze puppycat? (My longerhaired cat Tanuki LOVES drier sheets.)
That is an excellent idea. Ima go try that.
eta: *That* was amusing. No idea how it will help with the shedding but she's quite fresh smelling now.
My dad used to use the dustbuster on one of our cats - she loved it.
Timelies all!
Yay for Mr. Kitty!
My cat sheds year-round.(One of her nicknames is "The Lean, Mean Shedding Machine")
In a little while we will be heading to a friend's house for a Jane Austen movie day.
OK. I have showered and made and eaten a lovely avocado and cheese omelet with toast and coffee, and now I will listen to This American Life and then go down to school.
I've seen the cat food ads suggesting the same thing. Do people fall for this?
Sometimes. I already buy very expensive dog food (it'd be cheaper for me to buy them lean hamburger on a per pound basis) for my dogs because Mac has sensitivites which result in ugly cleaning issues if I try to switch her food. But I can say that the expensive stuff does bupkis for shedding issues.
Not to get too gross, but IME with dogs, there is a direct correlation between the quality of the input and the, um, nature and frequency of the output. So to speak. We don't mess around with the cheapy stuff anymore.
ION, some complete nonsense: [link]
That guy should really take the meds he's been given, and he wouldn't have these problems.
