Depends greatly on the breed of cat, dog or human..
It does and while I generally oppose blanket statements, after years of cleaning countless client, neighbors, and my personal machines, I feel comfortable saying cat hair/dander (
when allowed to build up inside neglected computers), is considerably harder to clean than dog hair/dander.
And it is not just from personal observation. A perfectly healthy cat is typically almost obsessive about personal grooming. But any number of ailments and conditions, including painful joints with aging (and they all age eventually) and/or overweight cats, will cause them to groom less often or be unable to reach everywhere. That does result in more oily hair and dander. That's just a fact easily verified by Google.
And the problem is not just oils but the fact those oils collect and cling to the hair and dust drawn in by the case fans.
That said, cleaning out neglected computers of heavy smokers can be just as challenging - especially for those computers that sit on the smoker's desktop. If you ever tried to clean the inside of a car windshield of a smoker, you know what that's like. If that heavy smoker has an old cat, and the computer case has not been opened in a couple years, get out the chisels.
FTR, I am not trying to ruffle cat lover's feathers. Nor am I pitting cats against dogs. For sure, many dogs shed MUCH WORSE than most cats. But except for some hound dogs, cat hair and dander is typically more oily and once it sits and bakes inside a computer case for months (or longer), is harder to clean.
Just another reason why case filters are a must.
