I have three cats, two of which shed like crazy. They spend a lot of time in
my computer room, along with my two Macs. (One is draped over my shoulder as
I type this). My major concern is cat hair in the disk drives, so I keep a
floppy hanging out of the drives at all times (not seated, but half way
out). This blocks the drive slots.

As for the rest, I just blow hair away with some canned air every so often.

I remember when my older Mac was upgraded to 2 meg; the dealer doing the
upgrade was flabbergasted by all the cat hair inside the case. However, it
has never seemed to hurt the Mac at all...
