Cats are permanently deciduous and thus you can comb hair off them from birth 'til death.
In order to properly de-fuzz a cat I recommend small controlled fires and a gentle breeze. It is important to start these fires at both ends of the cat at the same time to reduce the risk of serious flaring and possible ignition of surrounding objects or indeed, waking the cat. Another advantage of this approach is that fleas run screaming from the flames towards the center of the cat and therefore into the flames coming in the other direction. The single feline ignition procedure often cause all the fleas to run headlong to the non-ignited end and hide in the nose or anus until the flames have died down.
The fires should go out naturally after a few minutes and you can douse any remaining embers with a damp cloth.
This procedure should be carried out once a month.

I use to do that but now I give up. I just throw him outside into the neighbors yard and let their dog do most of the work for me.
