Yes, pretty sure it's normal. I have 4 cats, and i have to vacuum at least once in 2 days, which i get a robot vacuum for and it cut down a lot of chores. Then i have to brush my couch regularly, and clean my shirt with a lint roller, and occasionally brush my long haired cat. It still result with having hair all over my shirt and pant if i were to hug them like a baby. Bathing them will help for at least 3 to 4 days, but you can't bath a cat that often, so you're basically required to just live with it.

I tried bathing my cat once and screamed as if she were at a butcher, and banged on the glass/plastic semi-transparent sliding doors in the bathtub. I didn't wanna get eaten alive so I let her out with barely a rinse in the shower. She now can sense the bathroom and will scream and struggle to get off if I try to carry her in there. I think she got Cat-PTSD and I don't think she has trusted me ever since... 🫠

Wonderful cat things...
