Theo gets combed several times a day as needed. I started when he first got here and back then he would nail me pretty badly when I got to his back legs. I had to hold him by the scruff to get the combing done. Now he lays and kneads as I comb. It takes a little to train them and then you have to keep it up every day. He still will nail me at times when I try to do the back legs but that is mostly the kitten in him. It is important to show him who is boss.
So, even with all the combing, due to the thickness of his fur plus an under-coat, he needs bathing once in a while. I am lucky he loves the water.
I do vac and clean my floors but, I live surrounded by woods and heat with wood so the floors are not immaculate. Plus, I am an old bachelor...LOL
