I wouldnt get one purely for the hair factor.
My sisters flatmate had one and it was atrocious!! There was hair EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME - no matter how much you vacuumed or cleaned the cat would run through the house and the place would be covered again.

She was a lovely cat though, excellent with Charlotte when she was there (at about 9-13 months)

Just a PITA to keep cleaning the house...and your clothes...and bubbas clothes...and the couch...and the bottom of the curtains...
