Avoiding cat fur?

I really wanted to adopt a kitten or maybe two, but recently found out that apparently, cats shed a lot??? Like I mean, it spreads in a way that is both unpreventable and uncontrollable. It gets on clothes, and also gets stuck in the washer to cycle back into more clothes later. It gets on your couch, your furniture, and your bed sheets. And most importantly, it gets in your food. I was hoping there was some way to prevent it, but the dozens of cat owners I’ve seen talk about how they found their cats’ hairs in their mouth while eating outside, or how cat hair is practically a condiment for them at this point, is not encouraging lol

I’m a baker and a chef, but I’m worried about the future of my hobby if I decide to adopt a furry friend. Is this true or something I could possibly avoid?
