does it pick up cat hair?

I don't know. We have no pets. It does pick up human hair from the bathroom tile.

Yes! We have a dog and two cats and all wood floots so have hair balls all over and in every corner. This has been great.

Does a good job picking up cat hair on floor and furniture. Best at high speed with dirt cup empty. Even picks up cat litter on high. Only downside is that you have to work fast...battery only lasts about 10 - 15 min on high speed -- 15 - 20 on low speed.

I don't have pets, but I doubt it. If you are talking about removing pet fur from a pile carpet, you may need something along the lines of a Kirby or Dyson. When we got our Kirby years ago, it was picking up dog fur from the carpet & we don't have a dog. It was from the previous owner. Also remember, vacuums always work better when they are new. You may get something that will pick it up when it is new, but after a while not quite do it. Good luck.

Yes, it does. It is a very different kind of head; the wheels make hair/threads/fur twist and then it is vacuumed up. It is a much smaller head (wish it was larger); however, it picks up anything that is longer than just dirt/soil. I sew a lot and use it on my carpet around my sewing machine and I use it on the rug in my bathroom (where I style my hair) -- it works much better than Dyson's average vacuum head for general vacuuming.

I don't think so. It even picks up my neighbors cat, it's pretty sensitive.

It does a pretty good job on pet hair. We have 3 cats and a dog inside. The dog's hair tends to be coarse and the vac doesn't pick it up quite as well as I'd like, but then neither does my expensive Oreck. The Hoover does do a good job on the dust-bunny type little poofs of cat hair (but performs very poorly on cat litter). That said, l still give this vac an overall very good rating.

I know that it works well on carpet, but do not know about cat fur/hair. I would THINK that it would work on the cat fur/hair, but would imagine that like any brush, it would be some work to remove the picked up fur and hair from the brushes.

I have a cat and she has a lot of hair. You find her hair on the furniture, the beds, the floor...all over the house. This has worked great for picking up her hair. The only thing is that the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser´s charge doesn´t last long. You have to charge it every 15 minutes. I am very happy with it.

I would imagine it would. I have been picking up long hair cat hair but it is picking up hair that I couldn't even see with the naked eye. It really works better then I expected.

Yes, but it is difficult to maneuver. I gave it away and purchased a Hoover Cyclonic which is much better. It picks up everything including kitty litter.

Yes. I have 3 cats, and it does a good job with cat hair. Wait, why is it called fur when it's on the cat, but it's called "cat hair" when it's blowing around my house? Either way, this vacuum can handle it.

Sorry, I have no pets so I don't have an answer. It picks up my hair but I imagine dog hair is much thicker. The brush is a regular one with two straight rows; they're fairly stiff and help to lift hair from carpeting.

I don't know the answer to that question, but I spent too much time on the Bissell Hot Line on hold to find out the answer. I have a long haired cat and the Bissell did a good job of picking it up the fur, but needed charging too often. I went out yesterday and bought a new Sharp Cordless Sweeper, which is charging as I type this. The Bissell will hit the trash.

Yes and no. It catches some but it tends to build up on the back. and has to be cleaned off, vacuumed or picked off with a kleenex regularly, no household air purifier could, maybe an very large industrial one could. It traps the dander and smaller things. I have two cats a long hair and a short hair, My long hair sheds badly due to a skin condition. If I don't brush him every day it is a problem. Long and short of it, brushing your cats regularly is the best method of shed control. My Hoover air purifier has gone almost non-stop for about two years and continues to provide great odor control and helps a lot with my breathing and allergies. I do recommend it. Yes and no.

Don't have a cat, but it does pick up dog hair very well, if that's any help.

I have a cat and it does not eliminate pet hair in the house, it catches some but not all. It sucks air so if the pet hair is not directly behind the machine it won't pick it up.

I have a cat with very long hair. It picks up a ton of hair, I couldn't say how it will work for dog hair.

It does a pretty good job in short dog hair. So it should do pretty good on cat I would would hope.

The Rug Rake does load up quite quickly, but it does a great job of picking up cat hair from a carpet. It's hard to remove the hair from the rake with your fingers, but I use a smaller soft wire brush like the "JW Pet Company GripSoft Cat Slicker Brush" or the "Oster Clean and Healthy Cat Slicker Brush" to remove the hair. Then it's quite easy to remove the hair from the smaller brush.
