Qatarisun, I'm afraid only daily grooming will minimise your problem. If I had one I'd also take it for a bath (no ways I'd bath it myself!) at least once a month, their fur looks and feels so nice afterwards. If it's any consolation, even short haired cats shed a lot. Everytime I wear something black you can see all the cat hair all over me. But, you know what? Who cares?!
Yes, a shaving is always an option, but I'd only consider that when it's really hot. They really don't look their prettiest without their beautiful hair.
Remember to feed Cookie good food (dry pellets - Eukanuba, Science Diet, Royal Canin or something alike), always keep fresh water and to keep her litter box always clean.
I'm sure you'll be so loved by Cookie. Go slowly with her, cats are not like dogs, they take time to adjust to a new household. I've read somewhere that you should put butter on their paws when they move onto a new house, this should keep them busy and out of mischief for a while. But I've never tried it, though.
