Thank you for your inquiry. The LG - 2.3 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Washer and 7-Cycle Dryer Electric Combo, Model # WM3477HW does not have lint traps and any lint or foreign bodies will get drained out through the drain pump. You are already familiar with how much cat fur you have to deal with and it is not the machine that makes the lint, what is caught in the drain pump will be about the same as what you already get in your current machine so knowing that makes it more imperative that you check the drain pump that much more frequently to ensure that the cat fur does not clog the machine. You would probably need to check the drain pump after every wash that has cat fur on it to make sure that it hasn't gotten caught up in the drain pump...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We have a Ragdoll (long hair cat) and it was 5 years before we had to have maintenance. I recommend getting a long maintenance agreement. It was another 5 years before it clogged again. There is a filter trap at the bottom of the front of the machine that can be cleaned on both the 2004 machine that we just replaced as well as the new one. In the old one it had a long plastic thing that clogged up. Don't know how the new one will work yet, have only had it as couple of weeks. I hope this helps, I love my combo!
