Get a Furminator or a Grooming Glove. Either one works really well. Use it regularly, and fur on clothes will be much less of an issue.

You can't eliminate it completely, but it does help a ton.

Also, buy a cat nail clipper and get him used to you doing his nails now while he's young. Touch his feet often, extend his nails, go through the motions whenever he's nice and relaxed. Making this process a no big deal thing while he's still young will make keeping them trimmed when he's an adult so much easier.

I sit my guys down weekly and go through the motions of clipping their nails, even if they don't need to be clipped (I just touch their claw with the clipper then move on), and give a couple treats after. So now, both my older ones are breezes to clip (kitten still learning!), while my friend's cat is a nightmare that requires sedation at the vet if her claws get really bad.

I'd honestly recommend these. They're more or less one size fits all, and they are very, very good at removing a lot of hair, but not quite as much as say, a Furminator brush.

For a fussy cat that doesn't like brushing, these are the best though.

Different brand. But I recently got these and they work awesome

I have 2 of these gloves: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9KSITZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_v2eKDbM7H1QG9 and the work great but I couldn't find them so I improvised...

You might try Grooming Gloves. I have a cat that hates being brushed and tolerated, even likes these because it is just like being petted.

i purchased some of these for my friend with Flemish Giants and they love being petted with them.

Grooming gloves

if you use a metal brush, you could try a silicon or soft plastic bristles.

I have moderate success with the grooming mits also - https://www.amazon.com/Upgrade-Version-Pet-Grooming-Glove/dp/B01N9KSITZ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=grooming+mit&qid=1564336196&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

We use 2 brushes. One is similar to a furminator: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZHUDNS4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The other, which if anything works better, and which our girl absolutely loves, is a grooming glove: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9KSITZ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I recommend both, but if you were to pick one or the other, I recommend the glove more than the brush.

Use something like this to dilute shampoo and conditioner. Get some kind of hose attachment. These kick ass when washing dogs.

Edit: Meant to reply on my other thread but ok

Based on my previous experience this is PROBABLY really effective...

And I actually have this brush, it's pretty effective too, but I suspect the glove in the first link may work better

Congratulations on the new cuties!

If you're not already doing so, consider barring then from the master bedroom. Your wife being able to sleep without allergens each night may make a big difference over time.

I also second the recommendation to get the gloves for grooming. Here's the ones I got six months ago. They've made such a difference for my cats. Allergies aren't an issue for us, but vomiting hairballs was. Using these a couple times a week has reduced that tremendously, and the cats really enjoy it. Start with rubbing then in the direction of their hair, but eventually work up to "scrubbing" them back and forth and then smoothing the hair back out. You'll get a lot more off. Using any grooming tool will definitely cause hair and dander to fly, so be thoughtful about whether you do it, and clean up afterwards.

Btw - my foster kittens favorite toys include a tennis ball (great for grappling with), and tinsel poms from the craft aisle at Walmart. They typically come with multiple sizes in a bag. Use the biggest for the cats, and give the rest to your kids for crafts - they're too small and can cause the kittens to choke.

My cat doesn’t love the cat brushes either. I ended up getting these gloves that he loves. They probably don’t work quite as well as a nice brush but the work pretty well on my cat!

Good luck!

These are similar to the ones I have, but multiple companies make them. They make more form fitting ones too.

I really like this kind Glove Brush. Those little nubs do a great job of holding the hair, and you can pull it off the glove in a mat to throw it away.

I saw your wish list and you don't have any waste bags! I know toys and beds are important, but you have to think about hygiene as well. I bought waste bags similar to these and they're really important, so I would recommend getting them:

I thought these were pretty cool as wel, in case you wanna groom your dogs:

And lastly this toy looks really nice. I remember I used to have one of these Gumbys(kids toy), and the dog version looks pretty good:
