Thread: Shedding

Ours all shed some in early summer. For several weeks there will be a considerable amount of cat hair all over the carpet with some in clumps. Vacuum time! This is also when they have the most trouble with mats/knots.

I too would be worried if one were to lose a considerable amount of hair in just one week. Of course they can have a considerable amount of hair to lose (though kittens will not have a full adult coat). How did the cat look after the hair loss? Even when they have shed they still have a pretty full outer coat--they mainly shed the undercoat.

Did you guys have any heat waves in Seattle this year? Our girl who goes out with me every day for half an hour or so really lost hair fast shortly after we started getting really hot weather here. The others are always in A/C so was more gradual.
